it's not the two of diamonds
Ian Ross has just released a book on Anim8or. It's perect for a beginner and a good reference for experienced users. It contains detailed chapters on every aspect, with many examples. Get your own copy here: "Anim8or Tutorial Book"
I like 640x360 as a size.Ha hah ha Yes my slow mind had moved on to the mechanics of moving smoothly into the film beyond the curtains opening.Once the curtains open, zooming into the title being one shot and that frame being the start of someones film, Was what i was mulling over.
The curtains are looking good. I think the top curtain might need to lift away as each show begins, so the 'act' has use of the full screen.
Maybe you could put one big robin logo on the main curtains, which lines up at the join when curtains are closed, and breaks in half as curtains open?
Maybe a circle background on robin logo, make it look more like a 'logo'.
How I though it might work is that there is one common shot of the curtain opening in front of a stage after showing the name of the next performer or performers, with the act on the stage. Then each contributor makes a scene with whatever act they want on the stage. Each act ends with the curtain closing, probably with applauseStill sounds good ,I hope i have improved the stage with a texture. I think we probably need to agree a size perhaps then the curtain can be made to fit. Also maybe a Robin logo at the centre of the top curtain., and the title of the next act comes on, on is on a placard, etc.
So to do this we first need the common stage, curtain, lighting and such. At least the layout. Then everyone can start thinking about their act.
Note: the stage setting can be completely different. In fact it doesn't even need to be a proper stage. When the curtain opens we can show anything, outer space, the beach, interiors of buildings. You get the idea.
How does that sound?
