my pixel stuff

[probertson]

Hey I'm Paul, I'm new and that... just posting my stuff here. Seems like the thing to do.

http://probertson.livejournal.com/

I guess I should make a proper website for myself one of these days.

Anyway check it out.

We've heard of you before, there's a thread dedicated to you in the general section
http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=448.0

great animations, you really have talent man.

[probertson]

oh wow... I didn't really need to post at all huh.

oh well how about this?

 

[Zolthorg]

Awesome...
Well, you could post about where i can get m hands on Hyper Parsnip Bitches

I just got my friends all excited to find it's been removed from that webspace ;\
(i presume due to exceedingly high bandwidth)

[probertson]

Yeah had to take them down. It's my friends hosting space so I can't really keep them up there. Sorry about that.

I'm hoping to make a DVD compilation of all my videos sometime. Maybe even have commentaries and really old stuff from when I was little. It'll definately happen, just whenever I get enough time to put it all together. Maybe this year at some point.

[Helm]

Yeah, you're pretty badass. I read that you use autodesk animator still? I was wondering if there's any alternative for multilayered pixel art animation besides that.

[DrDerekDoctors]

Woooooo! Ace stuff! I assume you're making a game or summat from the screenshots on your livejournal page?

[snake]

Ah yes. I saw your DA page at som point. Blood and gore isn't really my field, but I really liked the way you animate and that movie was exelent. Just wonder if that style makes it quicker to make animated sprites.

[probertson]

what do you mean? quicker than the usual sprite making style? not sure I'm following ya.

[Neoriceisgood]

what do you mean? quicker than the usual sprite making style? not sure I'm following ya.

I think he ment to ask if your spriting style is extremely easy and quick to animate in, considering you have alot of fluent animations.

[snake]

Hehe, yes. That's more or less what I was going to write. Or if you find it painstakingly slow, witchever is the case. For all I know, you could have used several years on that animation. Hence my question 

[Matriax]

Wow, great stuff, and very smooth animations.. 

What programs you use for make all this?

[Conzeit]

wow, the famous Probertson, I thought you just wouldnt bother with places like this LOL

your animation is just awesome, I'v never really done something that long...or broad.  I must try this autodesk, it always seemed insane to me that you made these gigantic anims, but I guess it makes sense that you just useda more powerful app

do you use sillouethes when you start your animations? or you just...outline everything right away? I tend to start with sillouethes and shade in.

where the hell do I download your vids?....there's got to be a place somewhere!

[probertson]

i wouldn't say it was easy to do, but I've had years of practise and I can churn em out pretty fast. Autodesk is by no means powerful. It's from 1991! it's old school. If anything it's the complete opposite. There's no "trick" to what I do. I'm just using standard animation tequniques and it happens to be in pixels.

[Conzeit]

heheh. I think I get what you mean.

I'm not completly inadequate myself, I was talking about the idea of putting all those multiple animations in a single file, and coordinating all that stuff rather than the pixeling itself, of course I'm also interested in how you start out your process too.

[Tinygiant]

Totally amazing stuff, I'm a fan, got one of your pics in my deviant art favourite. I love the whole monochrome thing you got going on and you can really tell you enjoy animating blood!

[zilben]

Great animations! how long did it take you to do the whole devil's eye and the whirlwind thingy vids???

[probertson]

Devil Eyes and Do the Whirlwind took about 2 months each.

[Dan]

I love it and most sickly i love the black like blood, the style is out standing and all pieces have major charcter and are also unique. Love it all mate! Also the animations seem so smooth and the colour choices rock.

Thanks,

Dan

[Conzeit]

paul I dont know if it is a stupid question but where can I find the original flcs of your movies

[joshastorian]

Awesome animations, man. The sprites themselves are very nice too. Good stuff. 

[Conzeit]

hahahaha feel like I'm talking to myself here, but I keep feeling compelled to post here.

I just earned even more respect for what you do.
I'm not one for random dancing/violence type animations, so while I was impressed with the craftmanship of "magic touch" and "do the whirlwind" they didnt have an effect on me but "Devil eyes" really did make a mark in me with the way the plot the music and the animation enhanced the clip.

[Naso]

Theise are so kool, cant wait till the game comes out =D
and lets hope every one can become as good as you someday lol
