Only if it is a PS4 Pro.

XP For real.

[Summer Maple Tree Jackalope Chill Out]

What is going on?

BlackUniGryphon responds:

Actually, not much. ;)

In my original concept I wanted this as 4 seasons, but only did spring. I finally started doing Autumn, then I made that one summer, and also did winter. But, for whatever reason, I found the summer one (this one) to be rather bland... so, I wasn't sure how to cut the thing.

IN the end, I repurposed a music track I made for a film I'm working on because the director wanted someone else's music, and cut the animation, and even re-worked the last part in After Effects.

I felt sometimes its better to keep some things simple. Ya know?

I will eventually re-cut all 4, and maybe make 1 more version in Purple w my brand logos.
i was also thinking of cutting it like an old video game interface look...

It's just an experimental film series so I can practice & learn Adobe After effects better. (they don't exactly teach it very well in schools, nor online. so I have to try and figure this stuff out alone. )

I will then move on to reworking another of my films from UMASS Boston in 2016. I did some stuff for Inktober, and I'm gonna make those as flapping butterfly puppets in After Effects. I just got Trapcode so I'm hoping to incorporate that as well.

After that, I hopefully want to MOVE ON from puppet animation and get back to Traditional Animation, and do several thorough studies of the fundamentals.

I invite & welcome you to follow along with my progress, and I also stream much of my work as I'm doing it LIVE in Twitch.

AND, I want to preserve traditional animation as well because the industry does NOT own it, and does NOTHING to support animation as an artform. I also feel there aren't any honest and positive role-models out there as well.

Looks like was drawn in MSPaint and animated mostly frame by frame and is extremely choppy. Flash was invented for a reason. IIRC, Flash MX 2004 is free now because Adobe is giving out the serial keys on their site after they shut down the Macromedia activation servers. Other than the animation being choppy and the art having the MSPaint appearance, it was good. 3.5/5.
