Anime for this manga: [link]

6 MB file, it might take a while for some.

PS: If you are using wireless, the sound is likely to be mis-matched to the sequence. i hope not...

Updated with sound. Not everything match up the way I wanted, but this gives a better idea how it will look.



I like sharing unfinished animation.... because each of them takes so freakish long to finish. (This is almost like... sharing my comic sketches before they become official pages, but oh well, it's got very little story to it, no spoiler.)


Note: Some parts of the animation will feel too fast or too slow, that's because it's a WIP, the timing is still in progress too, trust me the finished version will be properly timed.


Flash 8-CS3

Time: 1 min 30 seconds rough out

Wip 1: 12/23/07 ---3 hours so far

WIP 2: 6-8 hours?

WIP4: 9/17/08--- lost count...

WIP5: 9/23/08- gah, I didn't know how to do missiles fire, had to research on youtube. I didn't feel like I accomplished much. Thankfully I finished None's 270 degree turn plus zoom out! (There's some stuff to fix, I will clean it up with pencil and paper.)


WIP6: 9/27/08- I finished 90% of the missile firing scene, (its still a bit too fast but) yay~~ Thank you Zoids. T_T It was easier than I thought though... so few drawings yet the speed can make it look so cool easily..... erm. I am not bragging. I hope.
None's cannon energy gathering and firing is a lot more trouble-some. I over animated.... right now it's.... barely working, I think that scene needs to be longer.
The hard part is a lot of the animation is too smooth...


WIP7: Animated a few of the last scenes before I ran out of steam....




WIP10: 10/18/08 Skipped a week, now it's WIP 10.
Animated the most troubling sequence this weekend.... Sc 09 where Ko grow his wings, and Sc 17 where None's arm gets cut.
Then fixing up more timing and subtle areas... There's still alot to work on.
GAWD they were HARD! It's not just the drawing, it took me a while to get the timing too. T_T

Right now I can say I am fairly satisfied with those two scenes, I still want to rework into Ko's growing wing sequence. (Flash rendered the sound off for some reason, but its WIP so i'll let it go.)

------------------------

"Don't Linger"

[piano]
I found your footsteps etched in the sand
and followed them here to a dry, thirsty land

I call your name, but (still) you turn away
Please, don't forget what I told you today

Open your eyes and awake to sunrise
Don't linger in (your) empty dreams

[guitar]
I traced your path to a dead, barren sea
and found a storm brewing all around me

The wind tears our voices away
You cannot hear what I say

[flute/lesley guitar]
f 10 Deeper and deeper, the whirlpool draws down
lg10 You, fallen prince, with your broken crown
f 10 Open your eyes and awake to sunrise
lg11 See me here calling, reaching for you (oh)

f 11 Where are you now? your image fades to black
lg 10 The world burns around us; the clock won't turn back
f 11 I've carried my words across all these years
lg 10 Look up and listen; tell me what you hear

[flute - closing]
f 9 open your eyes, awake to sunrise
f 9 let me see you reach out now for me
f 9 (oh) don't linger in empty dreams
