A little "Making of" Tutorial

I decided to use 2D motion capture technique to do my animation, of course this technique has been used in allot of successful games in the past. I found this technique to be effective and visually pleasing while it is also time consuming.

Here is a quick walkthrough of some of the technical aspects of how I made my character and also the animations. 1^st of all get a good friend or a hobo off the streets to model movements for you for free or basically. Next take the animations you want to use from the video and convert them into pictures. Next go out and get a coffee and take those pictures into a photo editing program and go through the annoying and sometimes even long process of cutting all the animations up.

Now take the cut out animations and add animal like features to every SINGLE frame. Yes this also takes a long time

Now all that is left to do is take those animation frames into Flash and put them together to make your real and excellent looking animations. Also make sure to make the character look more cartoons like by doing some vector mapping.
