I love that clay cat, I wanna know whats covered though? hmm..

I finally animated this thing last night, the only problem is I don't know much about GIF. files to make this thing smooth.

wow you can almost imagine hearing the explosions, quite impressive!

damn i need to get photoshop back up. Id be able to do it then.

Hey, thanks guys, glade you like it. Especially for you Rad. Glade your not mad.

The first pick took about an hour to play with, this animated version, 15 hours all in one setting as it is very complex with over 140 layers.
Render's were a bitch!

As for sound fx, well, I do it pro and have many, but my edit software is a lil down, so I have to wait to add them and some music, also, the other problem is, you cant add sound to a GIF, so I wanna you tube it in a few days when I have time to do a sound mix and add another shot at the end.

What you are seeing is actually 48 frames. The original clip was 7 seconds, about 210 frames, when I made this into a GIF in Image Ready, it played back super slow, so I had to speed this up to 1.6 seconds and turn it into a GIF, that way the playback was close to 7 seconds as the GIF's appear to run about 60 frames per second, so I was able to compensate, so even if I could add sound, it would be missing a frame of audio every other frame or so and sound choppy.

So yes, I will add a shot or two at the start and end, (one from space showing Earth and the meteor shower caused by a passing asteroid.) do some sick sound FX from my big library, and splice some tunes into it really soon and pop it on you tube.
The funny thing is, if you save that image and open it up in picture viewer, and enlarge it, it doesn't loose quality too much as that is 1/25th it's real size for faster processing. I cut this thing (animated it) in After Effects 5.5 : ( then made it a GIF in Image Ready. ) If anybody is interested, pm me and I will send you a Video Tutorial link for making GIF's, it's super easy.

EDIT: Any ideas on musical choice? I am thinkin along the lines of Prolouge/65 Million Years Later (Astarabell) from Armageddon's opening scene, but i dunno. Any music ideas???

Oh, I was also toying with the idea of implementing some new shots and making a fake trailer for Micheal Bays 2012 War for Souls, but will probably just do a 60 second short instead. Any ideas on that?

Well... here you have one

Ahhh.. nice!

^^^ Now I like THAT pic of Megan, I just hate when they make her too glamorous.

alexsm, I love those soccer photos, great fuckin exposure!! Was that post color timing or is that from the cameras film stock, or the digi camera? I love how the levels are crushed, it looks great. How much image manipulation was done to them? I wanna see more.

And Rad. I like the second set of photo's you posted more then the first, the only advice is to color correct your photos in some kinda photoshop. I think I will add the two pics from the hill together and drop a nuke, I will post that maybe later if thats cool. (I've been wanting to do that for a while, just couldn't find the right photo...

I still dont know how to copy and past previously pasted photos without a photobucket program.

Spanish air forces exhibition in Gijon

The definition is not good enough because the cam wasn't good enough.

It was a Sony DCR TRV-22 (1 ccd, 800.000px, 10x zoom).
