"An Exciting Day for Anna"

Post by Lukas »

Hello,

Together with Joost Lieuwma and Patrick Schoenmaker I made an animated film for an organization that takes care of children who can't live with their parents for a period of time. All the animation is done in Anime Studio Pro.

Enjoy :)

Very nice. The drawings, story, peace and colors are well blended.
Is it fully done with AS? The flickering on the hair's textures makes me think on a hand made colored cartoon.

One of the most beautiful pieces posted here, thanks for sharing and congratulations.
Now, could you tell us a little about the creation process?
You got a very interesting look and it would be awesome to know, for example, how did you get the noise of fills, if you worked with images for everything, if there are AS vector and brushes involved, etc.
thank you.

This is great, well done characters and beautiful environment, and last but not least, very well timed animation, congratulations!!
And I understood a lot of the language as well, it's very similar to my language, swedish.

I have watched this 5x today and just luv it. You say you animated this in AS, may I asked what software you used to draw it? If done in AS, I bow to you for this is very good.
Sorry for bad animation

Amazing! It has kind of a hand-drawn look to it. It's refreshing to see more original stuff like this and less of the "anime ripoff" stuff.

Oh yes, very amazing! This was a very nice short, very warm and even in this language, I could understand the most I think (ok.. I'm german and this was.... dutch? Sounded like dutch and this isn't too far from german, hehe.)
Nevertheless: well done! Liked it. :)

thank you.
Selgin: We used with images for everything, there's no vectors anywhere (except a few masks). The noisy effect is created with switch-layers. We had 3 drawings of each element in a switchlayer. It was a lot of work making the rigs because everything had to be drawn 3 times, but it was worth it. We tried to make it look handdrawn instead of cut-out.

This is beautiful story telling. Without understanding the language, I still felt empathy for the characters. And thank you for sharing your switch layer technique. :)
