Very Good!:rockon:

Well done!
 

That was definitely enjoyable! Awesome.

Dear Lord....

I am sure I have met a few people like that, mostly at a rally for owners of a specific model of German motorcycle I went to last year:mchappy:

I nearly fell of my chair laughing.

What software is it?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The animation was done with a program called State - available free at xtranormal.com (the program is free but the "assets" - voices, characters, sets - cost a small amount to license). There is an online version on the xtranormal site, so you can try it out without a lot of hassle.

The titles and other post-production editing were done with Adobe Premiere.

Be warned - the animation is addicting! This project began as a doodle, and quickly got out of hand. But it's lots of :funmeteryes:

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Time? What's time? Really I don't know. It started out as doodling around to see what the software could do. Then grew into the piece you've seen. The process is addicting for me. I really enjoy playing around with it. I'm already thinking about a sequel, but the grass needs mowing, the garage is a mess and if the rain ever stops - gotta ride. In any event - best I can offer about time is that I probably spent about 3 weeks playing with it in spare moments.

There is an online version of the software (nothing to download) at xtranormal.com, you can get a feel for what it's all about by making your own clip. But beware - there is no 12 step program for animation junkies as far as I know.

Cheers, Mike

Quality! :funmeteryes:

That was brilliant. I especially like the "You get the secret hand shake at the second meeting"

"Adventure motorbike travel will change the world - I'm not sure how but it will"

Wonderful - I'm off to sell my 1200GS and goretex jacket now :clap:
