Mayer Fabrics Storyboards.

I am currently working on a fun little sales animation with my ol' pal Kevin Marshall for Mayer Fabrics in Indianapolis. Here are some boards from the project that were approved yesterday. I'll post progress as we work.

Mayer Fabrics Storyboards (Painter / Photoshop)

Keyframe Test.

Still playing. I'm also noticing a tinge of the famed 60's Bigfoot video...

Today's note
Watching cartoons is much easier than attempting to make them.

Keyframe Test (Flash)

Gulp.

I worked on getting this chap into Flash and divided up into symbols tonight. I'm not sure why I thought this would be easy. I've decided to start keeping notes on this experiment...little things I'm noticing from a non-animator's perspective.

Today's note
I would like to see Flash's drawing tools and Illustrator's tools bare-knuckle brawl out back by the bike rack. I went back and forth, using both without coming away with the understanding of which works best. What say ye folk who do this for a living?

Hopefully this will all start to gel soon. If not, there might be a slight character change....I'm thinking the "guy who was born with no joints."
