Building a house and animating guy

Posted by JayMoyes - September 4th, 2011


I'm now starting to understand why flash animation is so different than cell animation, and am even beginning to question the purpose of outlining to begin with.

The point of this piece is the "work from home" aspect of working in adult. In Porn Valley (and even mainstream Hollywood) many directors work from home, and even shoot at their homes on occasion.

(the mainstream film, Bubba Ho-Tep has a shot of a license plate at the bottom of a creek, which was shot using a kiddie pool in the director's driveway).

Building the house was a major learning experience. When I went to place Guy in front of the house, I ran into a problem with making him stand out. There's a lot of shadows and dark spots on the house, Guy doesn't have much saturated color. A drop shadow on him would be way outta place, so I increased the shadow on the house behind Guy, and made his fingers a little larger.

I'm now seeing (or feeling out) what the differences are here. If I was doing this by hand, I'd just outline everthing and color it in, using detail and line quality to pop out Guy from the background.
