Flash CS6 is coming out, and from first glance, they haven’t even attempted to add any significant features for artists, and none for animators. I haven’t used Toon Boom enough to make a very decent comment – though the situation with jobs still very much favours Flash.

The animation was technically challenging, as there were extreme frame limitations and memory constraints, but the final project was fun. I recently created all the character animation on the original Disney game ‘Where’s My Water’, which became pretty popular. ‘Don’t Frack our Future’, a 5 minute long animated short for a UK anti-fracking campaign, run by Lush, a cosmetics company. ‘There’s No Tomorrow’, a 34 minute long introduction to resource depletion and the impossibility of infinite growth on a finite planet. Some After Effects was used to add blurs and depths, and to improve colour saturation and levels. I try to make the puppetry look as invisible as possible. Many scenes are also created with symbol/puppet systems. Most of the scenes were animated traditionally, either by hand, or in Harmony, Photoshop or Animate CC. Most of the reel uses footage from my Lynda / Linkedin courses: I’ve worked in animation since being hired by Don Bluth in 1988, and have worked in feature, tv, interactive and mobile/web.

In this case, you must have two pencil lines in your destination drawing for your morphing to work correctly.Dermot O Connor, animator, designer, cartoonist, indie film-maker. When two pencil lines cross one another, they are considered to be two lines and not four lines anymore (as it was in version 7.8 and below of the application). It will pop out on the first or last frame depending on which one it is drawn. A pencil line will appear if it is not found in the destination drawing. If you have pencil lines in your source drawing, the same number of pencil lines must be present in the destination drawings. During the morphing, the texture will disappear and show without pencil line opacity texture. Pencil lines with textures are not supported in a morphing sequence. The thickness will morph according to the thickest and thinnest areas in the source and destination drawings. Pencil lines with thickness are supported in morphing sequences. Make sure that both drawings are pencil shapes (central vector).Ī pencil line will never morph with a brush stroke. If you trace a shape using a pencil line such as the Ellipse, Rectangle, Polyline, Line or Pencil tool, you have to morph it with another pencil line. About the Pencil Line to Pencil Line Rule
