A hastily-crafted “proof of concept” cartoon I made last year for Something Else:

What a hack.

This is what I was looking for last week when I was searching for something to put on the site. It’s not new, I know, but it’s still cool in my book.

It’s a motion-tweened, rotoscoped pair of lady’s legs from Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.”

I made it a couple years ago, hoping to do something bigger with it, then got distracted and forgot about it. I lost the original Flash file in a fatal hard drive crash awhile later, but luckily had the exported animation backed up on an external hard drive.

Always back up your data, folks. More later.

Two updates in two days?! Blasphemy!

I played it in between some songs in my show the other day. It’s part of a series.

Here’s a fake* commercial I made for my Interactive TV class. I edited the images in Photoshop then animated them in After Effects. The voiceover is pretty horrible; I just used my laptop’s built-in mic. Oh, well. You can’t have everything.

The images were gleaned from morguefile.com and were taken by (in no particular order) Saffrodite, missyredboots, Slartibartfast, cohdra, xandert, gracey, jeltovski, hotblack, kevinrosseel, jpkwitter, and Jusben.

* Fake, in that we were experimenting with a new TV interface, and G&M was one of the companies allowing us to use their namesake in our test assets. We got no money from their “sponsorship.”

Here’s a quick animation of a character I made for the last two seconds of a sketch.

Huzzah! Stars all around!
