– my work is the ‘run boy run’ series of monotype drawings I am going to animate one day. It may take me all year. I’m going to be persistent. it will take some tenacity and discipline. Spoke to a guy, George today, an animator and designer and he said he would help me with the final bit. Just need to get the 600 frames together. That’s for 2 minutes of animation, working in ‘twoeses’? i.e. each frame repeated twice. That’s something to do with the speed of film versus the speed of animation? 600 frames seems do-able? that’s 600 separate little drawings. I’ve done about 50. They’re not from a storyboard so probably about 10 only are usable – but its a start.
He gave me a couple of tips. After spending all last night watching online tutorials (mmm, not so helpful) it was great to talk to someone real. In photoshop a way of re-sizing and sorting out the levels etc for a bunch of images at the same time – and also – the rather crucial element of the paper being on two spokes to keep the drawings in the right place.
