Just a Reminder....

EDIT: Because someone can do math better than me. Thanks Aric!

Because animators can't do math, and I've gone through the trouble twice reworking the equation.... Because I'm very forgetful.

You know how BPM (beats per minute) is related with FPB (frames per beat)?

You know how some people don't bother and just use a darn chart for this? But you don't know how to calculate some specific beats and it's not on the chart?

And our teacher just gave us a ridiculously large equation if we wanted to give it a go?


Here's the actual equation:


FPS = FPB x BPM / 60


(frame/second) = (frame/beat) x (beat/minute) / (60 second/minute)


I'm not putting an example. Since it's changed But still.


My old equation was 1440 = FPB x BPM because that was tailored to my 24 FPS animations.



I have a feeling some animator out there isn't understanding this.

CARTOON PARTAAAYYY

For this year's 24 hour film our characters went clubbing to the song "Cartoon Heroes" by Aqua. We split the song into sections and proceeded to animate our bits. It's really fun even though it was ridiculously challenging for me. Because I was the only one out of my mind trying to animate a so-called hip hop dancer. That in the end never danced hip hop.

I really want to clean this up and fix the bunch of mistakes you would expect from a 24 hour animation. I'll totally show you the finished product once everyone's pieces get together.

My section:



I spent pretty much 4-5 hours watching videos of dancers. Partially because it was addictive watching them glide to the rhythm and partially because I was very confused by their steps and body movement.

I'm still confused.

New banner!

YES! I finally did it! :D

The story behind this... Well, I guess this one is officially the first completed drawing I did that's about my dreams. I had a dream that nasty bugs and gross slugs with too many hairs were attacking me, so I countered the attacks with clockwork toys. Including a large toucan.

Well of course this doesn't look like the story that I'm telling. It's just an inspiration. XD

Oh my desk, my desk

When just my mom thinks my desk can't get messier, there's no better way than amplifying that messy desk 10 times in your imagination. And draw it out.



I got some help for this one! Ahaha.



This is the real me-coloring. *headdesks*



Color keys, yay!

*woozies*

24 hour film!

Yeah it was good. It was good.



Thank you for all my lovely and wonderful friends for this fantastic moment of my life. It was a highlight of fun and madness and screaming and crying and sticky fingers and.. oh I mean, nothing, nothing, hahaha...
