Artist's Comments

For my Animation 2 class everyone was required to participate in 2 department collabs, a rotoscope and a cut out (I'm still working on the rotoscope but thank god we had the choice of using flash for the cut out)

Anyway, my Professor is a huge George Carlin fan and decided that the cut out project would be based on this particular video as a sort of tribute to him

Now I'm not the biggest Carlin fan in the world, but in case you didn't notice, the skit is EXTREMELY word heavy, not the most ideal environment to animate in since everything goes by way too fast for anything to read well, but I enjoyed the project over all and I have to get use to requirements and restrictions since I want to go into the commercial field, but I honestly can't understand how people can animate with tweens on a constant basis like this, it drove me freakin insane

This probably took well over 15 solid hours to make, and it wasn't the animation that was so time consuming, but finding those damn stock photos was a real pain in the ass, especially looking for a good shot of Carlin's face, I had to color the picture I used since it was the only decent photo of him facing the camera without a mic blocking his face even though it was originally black and white

Here are the stock photo links that I found on DA:

Everything else either made by me or found on Yahoo

Also this isn't due for another week so any suggestions would be great <3

Enjoy! :D

The over all is really nice! like you said everything goes way to fast to read anything, i watched it 3 times to see most of it lol the first time i was like ..... ahh what??? Maybe you could have something more at the end? it seems like it needs something there something little. it seems with the fastness of the animation that the longness of him the computer is way too long.... maybe have a piece of computer come out or something? Or maybe something go by that represents him in anyway? I hate and love that he is standing still for most for the time. i hate it because well.. hes standing still, i love because you have objects come in with him that come off screen, that makes the all over composition better. Overall like this, i might like it more if i knew who he was, but not knowing anything about him or where it was going this is how i feel :P

It's insane how he was able to remember all that without slipping up once

Thanks! :D

Wow, not bad, not bad at all! The only nitpick I can give you is when Carlin's legs are sticking out of the computer, you could accent his kicking legs so it's a little eensy bit faster. For a snappy sort of effect, you know? But that could just be my style talking.

Otherwise, looks ready for TV. :D

LOL Man I'm so bad with speed, I was trying to figure out how to do that quick jerking leg motion when I was animating it but I just couldn't get it right, but then last night I realized all I would have to do is remove some of the frames as he's about to lift his legs, so I'm defiantly changing that for the final

Thanks! :D

Well, I dunno if I quite agree with the Forbidden Omen's critique. I mean, for me the pacing went along with the speed of Carlin's list, omitting a few things here and there for clarity, there isn't much you can do to help that, I think. As for the standing around, that sorta makes the things happening to him more readable then having him go across the screen. I mean you could, but then it would just look pretty crazy. Dunno if mentioning that not knowing Carlin as part of the score (or even at all) is fair. I mean if it's going to be for your teacher, who knows Carlin, then I'd say you've targeted your audience just fine.
