Trying an Animated Vote Incentive…
It’s been so long since I did a vote incentive.
I wanted to put some of the Animated PDFs I did for Wowio up. But to date…Topwebcomics won’t allow pdfs.
So here’s the next best thing I guess.
The actual animated sequence.
This is the scene where Paddington’s picking up Alexander the first time they meet again.
So click on the image below…vote…and you’ll see an animated gif.
It’s large…so if it doesn’t show up right away…give it a sec.
🙂
And for all of you who have been voting for us every day despite any prompting, hints, or updates….thanks.
Very very cool! I’m waiting on the blog post “So we made an animated TDC movie click here to watch.” 🙂
Ahh! Awesome! I can’t load the right software to view the animated pdf thingies, so I’ve been wondering what the animation was like. Super cool! I hope you make more of them, they’re really neat.
Very nice for those of us who have broadband, but for those who still have dial-up, you may wish to warn them that it is over two and a half megabites.
Hey Bro!
I voted… I expect that huge check in the mail shortly. Nah just kidding Scott.
Seriously tho, I have to tell you, these animated versions are just off the chain bro! The comic wasn’t enough, you just HAD to push the envelope, didn’t ya… DIDN’T YA?!
Well, I’m glad you did. Only downside, for me, is for some reason, I have to download a windows app for my MAC to run these things. Yet, on my Windows, I have to run Quicktime… tell me there’s not irony in that!
Thankfully, I can view them on windows with no problem.
Loving the story and the characters. Yep, btw… I’m still trying to come up with a cool pin up of Alex for ya! Who knows, perhaps I can throw in Nastajia, or maybe Mel can send me hers and we can mesh them together lol.
Have a good one bro, see ya on the boards.
Scott-
Really nice bit of animation – I like the panicked look on Alex’s face and the way his eyes shift back and forth. The lighting/shadow effects are cool too.
Elsewhere on the net, the Animusic web site has a couple of video files for download. They’re in HD format in QuickTime, so they’re huge, but the video and the audio is awesome! I’d recommend “Starship Groove” The videos are all 3D graphics rendered with amazing detail – synched to the music. It’s a video of robot musicians performing on the upper hull of a starship in flight. The URL is:

The animation is incredible – watch the interplay of light and shadow as the robots move, and the light show that goes with the music. There are even wear patterns on the deckplates from where the robots have been moving around.
Wayne Lytle, the guy behind Animusic, has two DVD of similar works out now – poke around the Animusic web site for more info.
I can only imagine what could be done if you and he were to collaborate on some musical animation set in the Dreamland Chronicles with the cast of the story. The graphics in the other big video for download, Resonant Chamber, looks like a room that could be in Nastajia’s castle. Paddington’s already into dance; perhaps he could give Alex and Nastajia a quick lesson in ballroom dancing, and Wayne Lytle could come up with some kind of magical music box for them to dance to.
