I finished my nutty bot animation. A little shorter than I thought, but that's all the dance moves I wanted him to do so he's done. The quality of the original I made is better but this wmv is under 2 mb so I am posting the wmv. Hope you like him.

Who did the music? You almost have the ending and beginning music matched but not quite. If you could fix that I could watch it go on and on and on.....:)
Very Cool!

Only thing that would make it better would be colored spot lights moving around (or disco lights) and an animated laser light background. ;)


Fog too! Must use fog machine.... or is that frog machine... :confused: :D

Thanks


The music is t-rex, witch suggested it and I thought it was a good fit. I just cut out of a section of it with quicktime. Didn't really think about looping it, but your right it almost does match up. The animation doesnt loop though so I'm not gonna worry about the music looping I guess. But please watch it over and over anyway :)


Maybe i'll do some lights and fog, didnt think of it.

That's helps a lot with the floor. :)


I like the background design, but the background being so static in a dance piece is almost distracting. You could use Dele's texture animation script to put an animation behind him maybe on a "projection screen", or maybe have some robot lava lamps or something going on in the background.

Thanks Jack! I animated the background and it really livened it up. Thanks for helping me push this farther. I am quite pleased with it now. If I knew I'd get such great suggestions I would have kept it in the wip section. But I think it's really done now. Sorry for the poor video quality. Windows movie maker doesn't really let you mess with the settings too much.


Thanks madmouse. Yes, I am entering it. I entered it last night but guess I'll have to update it now with the improvement. I'm trying to get a good video setting under 12 mb. It's easy to do with quicktime but avi and wmv are not so easy.

Whoohooo psychedelic! :)

Check your keyframe settings. Having more time between keyframes reduces the size a lot.
