I'm still trying to figure out a suitable compression work flow. I've not found my voice talent as of yet, but had used that Ivona voice synthesizer to get proper pacing (or close enough) for my dialogue. I think you can still get the jist of where I was going with this, or not? :D Thanks to Steve Gelder for syntax suggestions.

This film will be so crazy-awesome :cool:

Is the release date at the end serious, though? Another 18 months to go? :mope:

Imma a cwazy kinda gal. :D


Yeah, unfortunately. Since it's all hand drawn it takes fo'evah.

Holy sheet.

Awesome!!

Wow! I love it!

MIND=BLOWN.

I can't wait for this...WOW.

Best of luck.

Mesmerizing. Confident. Lovely.

I am going to have so much fun with this (you know what I'm referring to Bird ;) )

OH, I'm going to enjoy this so much-going to have to break out the modelling clay!


that's some fantastic work-"Mom's" line at the end is fantastic!


Well done! :D

Very confused at the moment, I kind of got slapped in the face with colorful awesomeness. I look forward to seeing what this actually is...

That was a bunch.:)

THIS LOOKS SO F-ING RAD!!!!

I need to see if the cells I have are in the trailer. :D

Wow, Bird. Had absolutely no idea what to expect from the first few bits you posted a long while ago, but I can say I haven't seen anything quite like this, which makes me happy.

It's trippy, it's bizarre, edgy, provocative, wild... yes. More please.

* on top of the slick animation, the music choice is very fitting.

Very Cool! I didn't know you'd been working on such a huge project. My calandar is marked, and I will eagerly await it's release!

That was freaky! Great job, Bird. There are so many talented people on this forum it's scary.

D@MMIT!

The mole jumps from her right to left side at 1:13.

Other than that slight continuity thingie-dingie...
THAT WAS
PRETTY ROCKIN'
FANTASTIC!

You should pull out the fire sound before the trailer ends.

Holy sheet.

Awesome!!
Thanks PTP!


Wow! I love it!
Much appreciated, girlie!

Tanky much, sir!

So very kind of you, Ernest. Thank you.

Thanks missy! I look forward to seeing an awesome sculpture! Pming you.

Very confused at the moment, I kind of got slapped in the face with colorful awesomeness. I look forward to seeing what this actually is...
LOL! Yep, it's a lot to process...and a bit convoluted at times. Please, anyone and everyone, I would love some suggestions to improve or render more succinct.

That was a bunch.
:lol:

Thank you so much, Jeff! The cels you have come from the last few scenes of the first act. The one character is a fella named Pope Jer. He was the circus strongman and is now the ecclesiastical proper of Marilyn's NWO.:D

Very Cool! I didn't know you'd been working on such a huge project. My calandar is marked, and I will eagerly await it's release!

Thanks Funkmeister!

I totally agree with you, here. I am impressed with the quality of our member's works everytime I log on.

D@MMIT!

Haha, you are right...and Marilyn's scar and mole jumps, too. I flipped a couple scenes because they seemed better composed that way. I'll have to go back and change the moles over on the bmps. Great catch! More, more. :)

You should pull out the fire sound before the trailer ends.

Thank you, and excellent suggestion, AA! I'll do so.

I missed it! :( so is it live somewhere now? I am sad

Just making some revisions according to ray and Alcove's suggestions. I'm still trying to get voice talent and will repost once I've done so. :)

:lol: Thissy here.

Not really sure which forum is the more appropriate to post this in as it's not really a *film* per se, but a slideshow of some of my puppets, so figured I may as well keep it in my ani thread. 'Marilyn' actually started as a puppet stop mo, you can see a couple grainy film frames. Also, a few frames from 'The Children of Lir'.

Very Cool!

Thanks Ernest!

Protagonist's exposition in underpants:

I needed to add a sequence illustrating the Canon of Polykleitos so my audience would get my joke regarding the idea of the perfect body (being '8 heads high') :P

* as before, these are really rough cuts using mine and my sound guys voice for timing.

Wonderful work as usual but i got lost somewhere in there.

Thanks for taking the time to view, Ernest! Please feel free to elaborate, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The rest of you peeps, too.

It has a really great look. I love the visual style. Like Ernest, I kind of got lost. The narrative is a little jumbled, and I'm not quite sure who's saying what, and what it means for the overall story. Perhaps if I had more context it would make more sense?

I can't wait to see the final product. I'm glad to see that you're making progress!

Tanky CF!

Yeah, the audio is very rough. The dialogue was voiced by myself and my sound guy for timing. The first clip, my antagonist (Lulu's mother who's taken over the world just to make her daughter's life, hell) has assasinnated part of her Board of Directors in order to put her company back in the black. We are then introduced to Oisian Tracy, a hired gun who's job is to uncover and eliminate a cartel after this mother character. I was trying to experiment with his (Oisian's) exposition). This seq falls about 25 minutes into first act.

The second clip is not so much a plot point as a necessary visual *lesson* for my audience . Not everyone knows the traditional western Greek idea of the notion of the perfect form. My Lulu character's humor lies in the misconstruence of that canon. She IS literally 8 heads high, thinks she's perfect when the rest of the world will tell her 'it ain't so'. Teacher recognizes that this canon, on paper, "sounds' like a good idea, but in practical terms, NYUKKKKK. This seq sits about 18 minutes into 1st act.

Very nice, Bird.

I was able to follow both just fine, but tend to be pretty liberal with these things and just go with it, wherever that may be.

I see you've acknowledged the audio is rough.
For "Oisian exposition" everything seemed fine.
On "Lulu hedgeschool" make sure you knock down those screaming bird chirps a little more. The audio spikes are killing me.
Also, if practical/sensible, match the color of head ovals on th black proportion chart to that of those assembled in the column.
And at 1:29 the eighth head loses a quarter off the bottom of the chart - IF even relevant.

GL!

Np!

It was what CF said right after your reply to my post. And you answered it for me when you answered his post.

Im sure it'll all make sense as a whole.

:)

Much appreciated Ray! Check~knock down the chirping, and as a painter, I'm kicking myself for not thinking of color-coordinating the chart with heads. Fantastic idea, Ray. Thank you so very much!

wow, bird, these clips are amazing! boggles the mind considering how much time goes into drawing and animating all of those cells.
I don't use this word much, but I'd have to say that this project has the feel of something epic in the making. :yes:

Wtf did I just watch? Lol.

It looks pretty awesome, although I didn't really know what was going on. My computer doesn't like vimeo for some reason, so the video doesn't play smoothly for me. I should watch it on a different computer and then I might have more to say.

Despite my own hardware problems, I thought it looked pretty awesome :D

Thank you very much, Jeff! :) I'm just hoping it's not an epic disaster.

Heh, I get that alot. :D

Thanks for taking a look-see, ICH! I have problems with Vimeo as well. I also haven't figured out the perfect compression workflow, so that may account for problems, too.

I've been uploading 1280x720 MP4s @ 30 FPS as .avi files.
Seems to work fairly well.
