Hellish greetings, web-lurkers.
I was just in the neighbourhood and I figured I might stop in and share a little something with you.
Late last month a friend of mine, who goes by the alias of Atronach, asked me if I'd be interested in joining an animation project that he and another friend of mine, Marquis H.K. by way of name, were working on. It's a music video clip for the song 'Axeman' by an old punk band 'Amebix'. Atronach and Marquis both liked the song and I think it's quite awesome too. This is a great project for me, as we are using Flash and a limited style of animation so i feel it's a good way to get to know the software.
I just wish they had brought me in sooner. Atronach was originally animating by drawing pictures and then finishing them in Photoshop. Basically, he was using the 'paint on glass' technique, but with Photoshop. Excruciatingly painful I thought, so I 'suggested' we stop that and use flash instead, because it is frankly smarter. That and the deadline is fast approaching.
On the upside though, the piece will be included in retrospective DVD for Amebix and we get to keep the rights to the animation. I thought that was pretty frigging rockin.
Well, now it's late and I have Tafe in the morning. So good night all, and don't let the bed Christians bite. (seriously, that shit hurts!)
