Thumbnails for 11 second club

My thumbnails for the 11 second club dialogue.

Voice One: "I mean, what's the point? Ain't nobody gonna win, it's just gonna go on and on..."

Voice Two: "Can't go on forever."

Voice One: "Yeah, but ain't nobody gonna win... so."

Voice Two: "Somebody's gonna win."

After a bunch of thinking, I happened across this idea by chance. I was drawing/doodling different characters randomly to see if I happened to like any of them enough to make something out of it, when I happened to draw a frog. I had been thinking of the idea of making the dialogue about playing tick-tac-toe right before, but when I drew the frog, I ended up thinking about a frog crossing a busy road while two other frogs looked on at him talking.

It's sort of a play on the game frogger, like a real life version. Although I'm not even sure if there are any sort of copyright things with that.

I'm also unsure about if I should or should not have some cuts to the frog jumping across the street or not, and also for the ending, when (or if) I should show the frog getting hit by the car. Also, I may need to rework my character designs more to make them a bit more interesting. They're rather boring now that I look at it again.

No animation/key frames yet.

Running through art building

Late post of my in class composition assignment.

Favorite of the 11 sec club

Choose this animation as my favorite out of the 11 sec club for the month of September. There were a few other good ones, but I narrowed it down to this one. I liked the timing on his reaction and the followthrough of his motions drinking the cup and such. Also, it was one of the few who didn't overdo it when it came to the killing of the first speaker.

What's in the Box - Revisions

I don't think we're gonna get more time to work on this, so I'll have to see if I can revise it more later on. There's still many problems with it, but I need to go work on Kaveh's stuff now since I spent all day trying to figure this out. Tried to make him/her look around to make sure no one was there before she decided to jump on it to cover it up.

Inner dialogue to refresh memory:
Aww man... who left this lying around?
(walks to box) .... why do I have to clean this up...
(looks in) eh?
OMG!!11!1one! Graaa~! No one must see this!

What's in the box - Keyframe animation

EDIT 10/12/08: Taking movie down to make more space.

Rough key frames that are a little late. :( I wasn't able to do as many keys as I wanted near the part that mattered (i.e the part where he/she gets to box). Was having too much fun with the before part, haha.

"Who left this mess in the middle of the floor?"
*walks over*
"Hm...?"
"Omg..."

What's in the box? Embarrassing personal photos that no one must see!
