This is my final flash workshop hand in ( Richard Nixon talking to buzz Aldran and Neil Armstrong)

Animators

just though i would post some of my favorite modern animators and where you can see there work.

Adam Philips- an Australian freelance animator (http://www.biteycastle.com/bbWindow.html)

i love adams work especially how he creates fluid movement, and especially how he makes his little woodland critters jump.

Egoraptor- (http://egoraptor.net/)

a flash animator that does an amazing job with comic timing and audio syncing.

intresting things about disney

while looking up some of my childhood hero i stumbled upon this website.. ahhh will the wonders of the internet never cease

http://www.funtrivia.com/en/Entertainment/Disney-Characters-6544.html

http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/secrets/characters.html

some of the facts are quite broad and others are really minuscule i guess some people have an eye for detail

wow this is just wow

i stumbled across this trailer a few months ago, and it blew me away, i love the minute little kinks that make this so realistic for example when the protagonist circles around his for with such looming furiosity, or the way the dragon creature spits blood away from his mouth. Although tiny actions these really breath life into the trailer. And one of the reasons i got into animation myself.

also having seen this trailer i rushed to my local video game shop to purchase a copy of the original game i guess advertising really does work ^_^.

After effects

this site has some awesome tutorials that have really helped bring my one minute compositions to life

(the site basically shows you how do create things like particle shadows, simulations lighting and other after effects wonders ^_^

Flash Animator

This guy is without a doubt my favorite flash animator, he does not necessarily make the best looking animations but the audio is timed so well he also has brilliant comical timing

(this is his newgrounds page you can check out all of his animations here)

@_@ this animation is very creepy but amazing and is defiantly one of my favorite pieces. The characters are so well made and the message is pretty strong for a kids show maybe why this particular segment was banned.

Recycled Animation

I saw these videos a while back and there just to crazy not to put up, im not knocking them for doing this i see it all the time especially with Disney. I just wondered if it was due to lack of time or maybe they just really liked the sequences lol.
