Reviews for The Big Fat Tutorial

Wow...If Only I knew how to discifer all of that..

I still can't animate, but I can play the guitar really well!
I am looking for someone who can help me make music videos for some of the covers I make...but Reading/Doing isn't my Fortee, I must have a more hands-on approach, as in someone's there to show me/explain and I can ask questions.
Anyway, if I e-mail you the covers, would you make music videos for me? You could post them here if you want...but I mostly need them for soundclick....lol...yes I know, selfish and cruel...but I have tried/tried but I can't get the lip syncing right and guitar strumming very diffacult, hell, even if you send me the layers all animated/stuff, I'll make it with those materials, I am a terrible artist and I can't do crap with a mouse nonetheless a pencil @.@ If you'd do either of my requests for me, that'd be Awesome ^^

Helbereth responds:

Well, first let me thank you for viewing it even if you weren't able to understand it.

Unfortunately I'm backlogged with about 3 years of animationm to do in my spare time (this is a hobby, not a career... yet), so I don't think I'll be able to squeeze anyone in, really.

I'll be making another one of these in the near future, and it will go into character animation and will likely go over lip synching... getting guitar strumming to look right probably requires timing it to the music in some way. I haven't even attempted that yet.

Anyway, thanks for the review!

Wow! This is useful!

Wow! Everyone should read this! This useful stuff! Especially the camera tricks, those are awesome. All I can say is I'm extremely impressed. By the way, I do know another way to do the camera pan thing. I you have the same set of objects that are rushing by repeatedly (like turrets on a gunship as a character runs through the ship) you can put them on a movie clip, tween them to move inside the clip, then simply have two or copies of this on separate layers. However, this has very few applications and is slightly noobish, but it does the job a lot more quickly then your method when appropriate. The line proportioning thing for camera pans was genius, I will likely find this to be very useful. Thanks for your efforts to help the NG population with useful advice! This is simply outstanding. Can't wait for the sequel! But please, for loading times' sake, please don't combine this and the new one together... Just provide links in the Author's Comments. Plus, we can all get more experience that way!

Basically, my opinion says that this tutorial is simply awesome! Keep it up! :D
