  • Listening to: HSFII - Cammy's Stage (CPS1, CPS2 & Arranged)


Well, this Friday night is the opening of the Dundee Degree Show (18:30-21:30) (It is officially open the next day), where the 4th year students from Duncan of Jordanstone will be showcasing their stuff, including animations.
It will be a chance to meet some old friends, so I might just be there, if I can find a way to get home late. If not, I'll just go in the next day.

If I can make it for Friday, I will go into Dundee earlier to look around. If anyone wishes to meet me, just let me know :)


Speaking of animation, last week I showed a few people how to do animation with the Pencil software I found. It isn't much, but it's OK for practicing. And I think one person wants to try it at home, so yeah! :dance:

I got the entire series of the American Darkstalkers cartoon, which was cheese xD It wasn't as good as the Street Fighter series, but you can't expect much from a cheap-looking cartoon. I've also sent away for the Thai version of the second Pokemon film (Pokemon 2000/ Pokemon : Revelation Lugia). It was cheap, so I thought 'why not?' xD
Plus, I have the film in English, French (France & Quebec), German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Cantonese and Japanese (...it's a long story ^^), I want to record a specific line from the film in different languages:

Meowth - Yous two don't need the opposite sex, coz you got each other
Jessie - What does that mean?!
James - Not funny!

:dance: On 30th May, it will be my 24th birthday :dance:
It's funny because I don't feel that much different from what I was 6 or so years ago ^^'


-- Until next time

Well, being computer-based, you don't need to worry about the amount of paper you use, and you can undo mistakes. The quality of the images tends to be cleaner too.

However, a lot of Flash animations rely a lot on tweening and reusing shapes, instead of drawing new frames.

But, having said all that, there are some Flash animations out there that look good :)

Yes. I've heard of them. Never really played Sonic Crackers. Btw, I was going to note you about this, but I think I'll ask here. What's your opinion on Flash animation? Meaning using only Flash. No paper and pencil at all.

Oh, and thank you for watching me :D

Ah, I read it. Interesting to hear that. And I never knew that Casino Night Zone was the result of the staff's periodic trips to Las Vegas :D Thanks for telling me about this site.

I suppose you'll have heard about the incomplete Beta version of Sonic, where Casino Night Zone looks different from the final. And 'Sonic Crackers', a possible precursor to Knuckles' Chaotix.

I actually found that bit of "Sonic info" on a site called the GHZ (Green Hill Zone) site. under "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" misc facts.

Well, it was interesting that you mentioned another character was considered before Tails.
And the 'Tails suit' looked cool. I love the way you draw him :)

I was just listening to some music from Street Fighter II the animated movie (English version). The theme for Ryu when he's travelling is so tranquil - [link]

In contrast, when the villainous M.Bison steps from his plane into his headquarters, the music is menacing and powerful - [link]

If you ever wanted to hear more, I'd be happy to show you :)

I have wide taste in music too. I have my favourite bands, but I'm always looking for new things. I feel the same way about music! I think it's important that it means something to you, even if it just changes your mood.

right now, I'm onto Arctic Monkeys :B

It's cool. I loved Siena with her headphones (the 'L' and 'R' make them cooler).

I'm not into music that much. I like random things that sound good to me, and affect my mood in some way or make me think of a situation. A lot of tunes I like are from video games or cartoons/films. What sort music do you like?
