PLEASE REPLY !GABES NEWEST MOVIE RELEASED.... "THE GETAWAY"

I have just recently finished my newest flick entitled "The Getaway" it takes only about 1 minute to load......... so please view my video at this website

PLEASE EMAIL YOUR THOUGHTS TO: gabrielmarchionda@hotmail.com

Gabe!! You know, I never bought the 'only 14 year old' defense - self discipline can't be embraced early enough. However you've now demonstrated a stubborn refusal to pay attention to any advice and total disregard for the rules that were patiently given you. Your bad, Gabe, especially since these are some of the easiest rules you're going to run into in life.

Get rid of that stupid loading screen. Many of us have fast modems and don't need to wait 1 minute to download. And what if we want to watch it again? We hit "reload" and then we have to wait another minute? uh uh.

I saw a couple nice improvements since your last movie. This time you have two characters and one of the characters' legs is moving.

I'll just repeat the advice I gave last time: have some eye movement, and maybe some arm movement.

gabe,

i'm curious to read what you think about it.

are you happy with the story? the animation? the massive amount of improvement from your first piece?

please enlighten us. and let us know when the third installment will be finished. can we look forward to it early next week by any chance?

It was good. Reminded me of flipbooks I made at your age. That is not at all back-handed.
We didn't have computers but I had computer cards.
Just keep on doing it and draw every day. At this stage that is where to begin. I have seen Nick Park's early home movies (in a documentary) and a friend's who went on to Disney greatness and their stuff was about the same league but they kept on doing it.
NOW...that was meant to encourage.
I'll drop the other shoe:
14 is old enough to understand that your multiple posts are spam and are thus viral-like in me trying to see other posts. No one has ever "beat up on you" That you needed to be "defended". That so-called encouragement you seem to have taken as enablement to spam. It's simple ; Post your new stuff once in the gallery. Otherwise, speaking for myself only, not awn, I have to regard you as a little troll.

I have to agree with you Graphiteman. He's been told. It almost seems intentional.

Gabe's multiple postings

I have removed a number of his multiple postings and sent Gabe another email asking him to please be considerate and not multiple post. I've explained again that if he wants to show new work, the place is the Show and Tell.

I hope the problem doesn't continue.

thank u for all of yoir comments

I go with what everyone else has said so far.

If you really ARE interested in animation and improving, then take on the tips given to you by the good people on this forum. I believe this is the best place on the web for anyone interested in getting their animations reviewed.

I'd also like to say that if you do want to produce good engaging animations and films, then try to do your own characters and spend a little more time learning to draw them well. It wil make a vast improvement on your work.

If you'd like to learn how to animate and draw 'traditionally' (even though it can be applied to all forms of animation), look at Larry's Toon Institute on this site. It's free and will help you alot.

If spending more time on your animations is not your idea of fun, then try to create a stylised way of animating without taking on too much work. For example, simpler characters, only animate key movements, more still shots with dialogue to explain action e.t.c. This is not the most rewarding method but gives you fast results.

Hope this helps,

Adam

thanks

thank u for the advice i will use it

question

earleir in this post someone said he use to do is animation on computer cards....... what are computer cards???

earleir in this post someone said he use to do is animation on computer cards....... what are computer cards???

Hi Gabe,
If I had taken computer science in high school in the 70s I would've understood what these cards were. But computers were huge mainframe type things and I surmise somekind of binary or hexidecimal numbers were punched out on these index cards and the computer would read the holes representing the numbers.

So I had a brother 5 years my senior who had a couple reams of these index-like cards at the end of his year....He was in grade 13 (Yes, Ontario Canada had that) and I was in grade 8 and he gave them to me and I made a few flipbooks out of them. They were great beacuse they were longer than regular index cards and you had a bigger space to draw and couldf really get a grip and they really flitted nicely.

So I was doing computer animation back then;)

Firstly, Gabe, in order to not offend people, I would stay away from all caps ('LIKE THIS')--it tells people that you are yelling at them.

Secondly, I don't really understand the story in your short. I don't understand why one guy falls off the cliff and bounces back at the bottom like a cartoon, and then the other guy falls off the cliff and lands at the bottom in a bloody heap. Also, the characters look like something out of a Simpsons show--be careful there...

Thirdly, Dan the Administrator is right. Heed his e-mails and post your films in the Show-and-Tell section of the Forum. If you keep posting your new films in the Animation Cafe, you run the risk of people reporting you to the Moderator/Administrator (which I'm sure many have done already) and getting permanently blocked.

Other than that, hats off to you for working hard and diligently on your films. Keep on creating, man. :)

ya i was warned about showing my movies on this part of the forum........ i promise next time my movie will be on the show and tell part....

Lots of people show their work in this forum ("Bluehickey's latest and greatest!" for example, or "More Garfield"), so - I guess - show your work in whatever forum you want; just don't post it in every forum at once.

I know that lots of people, including me, very rarely look at the Show and Tell forum.

yep agreed
