(Sorry the file is so big at the moment, I'll try and compress it better later, as Flash seems to be being unfair with compressing today)

This was an animation I've finally finished tonight for a Uni project, in which they wanted us to make a brief, experimental digital animation. I decided to try something a little abstract-ish, and you may of seen the original concept sketch of it in my scraps (If not, here it is: [link] ). Quite simply, it's a musical piece with the animation being an attempt at a visual interpretation of the music (AKA: What the music would maybe look like if it had a physical form).

The main animation was produced in flash, using many layers and symbols, and the final product, including the background made up of 130 progressive photos that go on a loop from my house, was produced in Premiere Pro. I have now grown to like a that program a lot more then the un-user-friendly After Effects, even though I spent hours tonight rendering the film with the colour key not working, only to finally figure out that the settings of the colour key were wrong on the settings it converts to. I would of maybe of added more radical blurs like the end and stuff, but I couldn't be arsed after all them hours trying to get my head around the rendering.

I know the characters shapes and faces are very much like the style I did in my icon and The Fujis, but I'm just using this style as a sort of starting ground for proper animation, as I do want to move on to full human characters and the like once I have enough know-how to do so. Abstract stuff is fun to animate too, however, and I plan to do more pieces like this in the future. Enjoy~

This eccentric abstract gesture is an exuberant masterpiece.....with Sonic Rush music. What did your campus chums think of it?

Yeah, everything there was made traditionally, not a computer in sight (except when it came down to the audio).

I love this style of animating a lot more than I do in front of a computer, thats for sure.

Waitaminute, I'm talking about the wrong animation here. This did use computers, I was thinking of the Fujis XD
