Description Another Sonic Short animation for the Sonic Shorts collab.
Well, there's a song called "All Hail Shadow". I mean, if you are Shadow, how do sing along to that song? These people are worshiping you, damn right you would love the song. I can't wait for a song called "All Hail Sean". Then I would do exactly this, I swear.

You'll notice the style change from my previous Sonic Short:[link]
It's as messy as hell, but I did get it done in less than two days, a record for me. Pretty damn good I think! Oh, and I used a loading bar! WOO!

So yeah, I was reminded to send my logo to for the Sonic Shorts collab, when I realized I wanted to do this as my second short. So I recorded the piece and got it done!
Rather pleased with this! It's a shame about the mouth. It moved perfectly in Flash, it seems to have slowed here... Boo hoo.

Animation property of me.
Shadow and related songs and characters property of SEGA.


EDIT
-----
Just got the word, it's been rejected for the Shorts collab, the joke isn't strong enough and the artwork isn't their standard. Usually, I take so long with Flash because I'm perfecting art.
I'm very disappointed....

'NUTHER EDIT
-----------
Please, if you favour this work, just leave a comment. A small comment. Anything. I need mah sustanace. Anything that will help me (besides the obvious ABOMINABLE art) improve my Flash skills.

yeah, Jawas doing Caramelldansen can do that to people... And Blaze setting Silver's potleaf head on fire, cause we all know how slow silver is when it comes to running.

Freaked out? Yes....

I'm hoping to get a microphone soon, so my voice acting can improve. Maybe I could redo those Shadow lines for you if you need?

FlyingMonkeyofOz In reply to Mel-Meiko-Mei-Ling [2008-07-21 02:20:58 +0000 UTC]

I could give a bit of help, I suppose! I actually learnt all this via tinkering in Flash on my own!

Mel-Meiko-Mei-Ling In reply to FlyingMonkeyofOz [2008-07-21 13:44:29 +0000 UTC]

^^ great! Um do you have to draw each and every frame, basically?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FlyingMonkeyofOz In reply to Mel-Meiko-Mei-Ling [2008-07-21 19:44:46 +0000 UTC]

That's one method. I have a Wacom Tablet, a product that lets you draw on the computer. I draw in Flash and use frame by frame animation mostly when he moves. For example, I have to redraw his arm each time it changes position. This style is more

Another method is using what is called Flash models. These are things that consist of different moving parts, and so the arms can move sperperatley, so can the head, legs etc, all independant of each other but connected by becoming a group. This is the style of :legendaryfrog: There's a good tutorial of how to make them here: [link] and many other handy ones.

I'm still experimenting on style's, I find that drawn looks crude and take time, whilst models look repeditive and limits what you can do with the character movement and expression. They both have pros and cons.

Sorry if this sounds as patronizing as hell, you probably know most of this already. I hope I was of help.

i aint know any of it really!
but naturally, since i used a diff program i compare flash to it.
but ok, so you do have to do it frame by frame. man what a workout!

with the prog i used, it's a hassle getting your models together but once you spend hourrss doing that, animation is smooooth sailing. ohhhhhh so smooth.
but i do want to try flash. but the other prog seems so much easier in comparison.
