Ok, I've been contemplating the making of my own anime movie clip for a while now.
I've laid down the ground work for it already. I've developed penci, ink, color, and other various skills. Let's just say I have the skills front covered, BUT I sat down with a calculator, and I dunno... I was wondering if there's anyone out there that has done an anime. I'd like to get some experience with backgrounds. BGs are so freakin' tedious.
Math:
5 minute animation clip
25 frames per second
5 min = 7500 frames!!!!
I kinda have a solution for characters.
>3D Max
or
>Bite the bullet and draw my hands off... -_-
Solution for background.
>Take real picture, and use photoshop filter to render it into a pencil drawing, then color the drawing. (Best
solution I'm with thus far)
>Cheat... use one BG and don't move (Crappy quality)
>Use a combination of blur and filters to render a real video image into a false one... keeps the color (Quality is semi crappy)
>Last resort... draw each frame by hand... LOLz... no way
So? Is there a trick out there to help me?
