Cookie Clockmas update

EDIT: I've successfully finished all of the animation, making for 155 seconds in total.
All that remains is to add the subtitles, and make a credits screen.
At this point, I can pretty much guarantee that this will be released sometime on Christmas day. :)

Well, there's only a few days left until Christmas, and my short movie is two thirds done.
I'm confident that if I bust my ass for the next few days, thankfully with no more college, I can get this done.

Animating it has been tough with distractions like playing games and receiving college awards and visiting dentists and shit, but now I can really get to work on this.

You may've seen in the previous screenshot that StrawberryClock and OrangeClock were together to bake the cookies, but Rupee will play a part as well.

The movie also borrows a few elements from Phoenix Wright, if you're wondering how, you'll just have to wait and see.

I hope you enjoy this when I release it, hopefully on Christmas day, perhaps Boxing day if time constrains me somehow.

can't wait, and i love that style. hopefully you will get it done in time.

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 16:49:32

I'm thinking that after this, I'll try symbol animation again.

It can't always be frame by frame, I want to learn many kinds of animation techniques.

BlueHippo 2007-12-21 16:54:47

lemme know if you need olskoo to do an angry black man cameo ;D can't wait to see when it's done!

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 16:54:47

Nah, the entire movie's dialogue is already done, it's just the three characters.

I like the idea of including a token angry black man though.

Addict 2007-12-21 16:57:06

How Cute :3 Keep up your great flash work! I'm loving it! I can't wait for the next flash.

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 16:57:06

Thank you.

FloppyDiskClock 2007-12-21 17:22:31

Looking good Rupee, I always enjoy your movies as they have a touch of class through the art and the selection of sound you use.

I will look forward to seeing the animation when it is submited!

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 17:22:31

By selection of sound, you mean the video game sound effects and music I always seem to use? :p

HarddiskClock 2007-12-21 17:24:44

Have you ever tried mixing up symbol animation and frame by frame?

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 17:24:44

Actually, maybe that's a better way to describe this animation.

Whilst there's a number of things like use FBF, like switching between clock emotions, there's a number of things that use symbols and tweening, like the way I move the clockfaces up and down to represent talking.

auroradafox 2007-12-21 17:27:41

LOOK GUYS! I baked cookies!
The heart shape represents how much I love you all <3

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 17:27:41

And it's all yours, for 100 CCs!
Come on, it's for a good cause!

Sonucais 2007-12-21 19:05:54

Did you used some graphic from clockday actually? :P

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 19:05:54

Every single graphic so far has been created just for this movie.
Although the colours for SBC and Rupee were taken directly from SleepEasy.

Imacow 2007-12-21 19:40:15

It's an ass to finish animations during the Holidays.

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 19:40:15

I've managed 26 seconds of animation tonight alone so far, making for 120 out of 154 seconds complete.

It'll be nice to not have to worry about finishing it on Christmas eve if possible, actually spend the night playing games, resting, being with family.

saltovergray 2007-12-21 21:11:52

damn, i really like when great animators use fbf, but symbol is good too. Are those palm trees in the background?

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 21:11:52

Yeah, palm trees.

It's the inside of a mall, they're not gonna uproot trees they have all year round just for christmas.

I'll give you a cookie if you can figure out why they're palm trees.

JonBro 2007-12-21 23:00:25

I want that heart cookie.

It looks really tasty. =)

RupeeClock 2007-12-21 23:00:25

It LOOKS tasty, but when you see the movie, I'm sure you'll not want to eat it.

STALKERClock 2007-12-22 02:55:00

It looks good and it is out before or after clockmas?

RupeeClock 2007-12-22 02:55:00

Read the fucking post.

ArvindProductions 2007-12-22 06:32:01

i know what ya mean,
education gets in the way of everything!! >:(

RupeeClock 2007-12-22 06:32:01

But of course, without education you can't get anywhere.

RobertClock 2007-12-22 09:35:34

Mizox 2007-12-22 15:13:59
