Coders can animate too!

Posted by gankro - July 11th, 2008


As a coder with a sister who is an animation student I found a slight need to get good at animation, but being good wasn't good enough. She dislikes flash because of it's... I'm not quite sure... probably because I just use it... (she favors toon-boom and traditional animation [hand drawn frame by frame on sheets of paper you take photos of, which takes like 2 weeks to do a bouncing ball cycle]). So I had to do it all fbf, no tweens, no masks. And several days later... I did it: My Masterpiece

I'm incredibly impressed with the results, a 4.0 (plateaued at 4.11 before being potentially down voted by clock fans, but I'm not bitter or anything...) and a daily third which could have easily been a first with slightly less impressive competition, and allowed me to make this post. So, what do you guys think?

Oh ya, and here's my latest coding portfolio:

pretty neat. only part i didnt like was when you used the AAAA .. i didnt get why the tips of the A made the ball bounce.. if anything it shoulda popped it.

Kudos for trying out our shoes.

it did, pop, no? or are you just being silly as usual?

Luis, the ball did pop.

It would seem so.

ahh yea it did pop haha musta not been payin attention. I go pwned

silly luis, drugs are for kids!

Your sister is weird. Flash is awesome! Although, yes, Toon Boom is a great program for 2D animation.

she's more traditional than anything... very good... but...so... slow... and she always refers to toon boom as "harmony" (one of it's versions I think)

It was a good movie.
Don't blame your sister for not wanting to make Cartoons.

Some people like stop-motion better

uh... she wants to be a fulltime animator at an animation studio... she wants to make cartoons... as a career... she just doesn't like flash...
quote: "they'll pay me to learn flash after they hire me"

you suck at links, thus I do not bother to try it.

i don't like that stereotype that coders can't animate. i animated shit-tons of stuff before i got into coding. \:

you did a good job with that. the only thing i have a problem with is probably that fish. it's not very well-drawn, but other than that, it's pretty cool. unfortunately, my 8.08 fifens didn't do much for the score. :P

also, u shud post pixxx of ur sis ;) LOLOL JK

lol? ya... my experience throughout the animation process was:

hmm... that looks pretty good..
maybe...
ya...
argh... DAMN YOU FLASH, DON'T BREAK THE FLA!
hmm...
so... slow...
great... now you're lagging...
new fla...
ugh...
fuck... I can't animate water for shit...
end, now, please.
need song... *search coolio-niato, check favs*
done and done...
it's 6am... I shall submit anyway...
none of my friends are awake to up-vote...damn...
HOLY SHIT THIS IS DOING REALLY WELL!
4.11!!!!!!!!!!
3.95....
third... meh... decent...

Wow that was impressive, good work!

I'm lucky in that I have a brother who can code so I never need to learn "the other side". hehe

I always wondered who did what, so he doesn't do any of the art side?
