Default I'll animate it!

...or edit it.

So in attempt to get more use out of adobe premiere (which I've had for a few months now and hardly use) I've decided to take requests for animations I'll edit together. You can request your own personal animated video from me. Just a few simple rules regarding this I'll post below:

-Please be Patient. The turnaround time for each of these animations is two weeks. This has increased from the initial time of one month, but I do realize the wait. Please keep in mind this is a long process, and I'm working as hard as I can. Also, multiple people will probably want requests before I complete each, so odds are I will be busy with something when you ask for it. I’ll put a waitlist at the bottom to keep track of all the requests, but you’ll have to be patient. I'll make sure to keep you update with pics and video clips from the projects along the way so you can monitor my progress as well.

-Nothing Over 90 Seconds. Although the initial duration time has increased, there still is a time limit to these animations. I will only animate something that fits a one minute and a half time frame. This is still a long process and although I've gotten better at it, there is still a time limit. If it seems as though your request will be over 90 seconds, I will either ask you rethink it or turn the request down all together.

-I Will Animate Anything. Any idea you have, I will animate it. Whatever it is. This is really I’ll be helping you by you’ll be helping me. I need practice to get better at this and am scrapped for ideas. So any idea you have I’ll make. Don’t be afraid to ask. Original animations or AMVs. It can be just a random thought, something you’ve always wanted to see animated, a visual aid for a school or work project. Whatever. I’ll animate (just keep it clean and forum appropriate.

-Please Post Request Here. Please don’t send me PMs or emails asking for requests as my inbox is almost full and I forget the email address I used to register for these forums. The only sure fire way to get a request is to post it here. Just something basic, but I thought I’d post it anyway.

-Regarding AMVs. I’ll be willing to do AMVs if you want one, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First is again length. If you want a whole song to go along with an animation, you’re really going to be limited as I’ve put a 60 second limit on these for now. Second is I may not have the material you request. I might not own the TV show, film, or song you want to edit together so don’t be sad if I tell you “No, I can’t edit this as I don't own the content.” Sorry about the that.

-This is for free! Saved the best for last. This is me doing this completely for free and asking for nothing. I don’t expect anything in return. Just proper credit for the work I make.

Well, that’s it. Post request now!

Waitlist:

Ooh, yes please.

Could you do a short animation of a car driving away. Someone throwing a banana at it. The banana landing in the exhaust pipe (close up) and the car then swerving, crashing and exploding.

Then a title:
The Old Banana In The Exhaust Pipe Trick!


Thanks

I find the best thing for ideas for animation is listening to musics. Lyrical musics. What do you want to see happening to your favorite song?
Btw, are you drawing these in oots-style or a different style? AMVs implies much better style.

I was thinking a sort of cartoony style. Not stick figures, but still simple.

Ooh.


Myself fighting good soliders (improvise somthing) using these spells (all dark red):

energy sword launched at target
lots of tiny magic missles dissassemble the target
shockwave that launches enemy away.
two beams of energy that hold enemy and tear him in half (not too gory)
Laser beam from the hand
Revolver shot (not magic)
Freeze ray from the elbow
Firebreath from the hand
Thunder from the knee

Most attacks will only last less then 3 seconds, but would probably be hard to make.
this is my challenge for ye.

I'll add you to the waitlist.

As for progress, I have the background animation done for the skateboard wizard. It's nothing too complicated. It's just a repeating animation like you see in Hanna Barbera cartoons were they pass the same building like five times.

I think Super said it best: Ooooh!

I'd love a little animation of Monkey driving her new Monkeymobile. That's it: just Monkey zooming blissfully away into the sunset.

Hello, Doctor Epic, sir! I would be honoured if you were to make a short promotional animation for my work-in-progress roleplaying game Magic Sword. The reason I ask you this is because I am setting up a kickstarter, and am in need of a video.

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm... how about a guy with a gaming controller in his hands and a very angry look on his face, then a cut to a white-collar style guy answering a phone, and he says "Hello, EA Mass Effect hotline, how may I-" And is cut off with an acme-style hand coming out of the speaker of the phone and strangling him.
Just like i wish I could do to EA right now...

Okay, production update. I know I've been a little MIA for this thread, but I have been doing work. The first project is almost done. I said it would take me a month, and tomorrow is that last day so I can definitely meet the deadline. Technically, the animation is done. There's just a little bit at the end I want to add. But it will be done sometime tomorrow.

Okay, did someone ask for a skateboard wizard? The animation's a little rough, but it is one of my first animations and I don't even own flash.

I hope you enjoy it. Now go watch it so I can become a famous internet youtube person and then go on to battle egoraptor to the death.

I'll edit the waitlist later (I really got to do that; sorry about that folks).

Right. Progress. Thing is I haven't quite started the next animation yet. I do promise to start it this week and it will be done on time. Also, starting with the one after this, I'm going to (a) decrease the production time so these can get done in only 2 weeks - I'm getting faster at doing these - and (b) the duration of these animations will increase to 90 seconds or a minute and a half. Hope that's cool with you all.

Just a headsup: the early strips didn't exactly have the greatest art.

Hm, something of note so far: Your establishing shots are about five times as long as they should be. You want these things to be snappy.

(12 seconds of wheel spinning, 12 more of the car driving... it starts to get better after that, though.)

It builds up tension and anticipation.

No, it makes viewers stop watching. Cut it down to 3-4 seconds and I'd have finished the video. (Which is too bad, as it sounds like a good animation based on the title.)
