Anime 3: Die Hypnose von Joe Pinio

In this 3rd anime, new techniques were used, and I could take my ambitions a step further.

The plot:

Joe watches Astromant, as he tries to hypnose him with a pendulum. However, Joe gets caught by the red steel ball, and falls to the ground. Then a further accident happens: the cord of the pendulum breaks, and the steel ball falls on Joe and craches him.

Production notes:

Anime Studio Pro: use of ball motion, starting slowly, accelerating and reducing speed again. Synchronisation of Joes position with the interpolated red ball.

My first steps into the world of animation

Having bought the software Anime Studio Pro from e frontier, I could not resist to quickly build my first animation. Having done not much more then browse through the basic tutorial section, the result is of course: simple and rough. Here the result:

This short Bleiglass Anime includes some movement and sound, and all 4 software I will be using in future projects have been active.The software used are:

Production notes:

Anime Studio Pro: the small orange character was build as vector, his name is Joe Pinio, and he is a mascot of a German blog OPINIO, run by a local newspaper, the Rheinische Post. Joe Pinio was boned to allow basic movement.

Photoshop: the background picture was produced from a photo.

iMovie HD: this Apple software was used to connect the Anime clip and the closing credit, to which a effect was added to make it look like a old film projection.

Garageband: this Apple software was used to add voice and a loop, kid (laughing)
