Here's the fiery pheonix...
Hope it turns out.
It looks really good to me! How many images did it take?
How cool! I'd love to put that on my myspace page.
Thanks guys!
lborgia, it took 45 pics to do 4 seconds of animation. The delay is set to 7 centiseconds. I found a new way of capturing the shots that's almost frame by frame and very consistent. It's a lot of fun.
Stardust, feel free to use anything of mine you take a fancy to. I consider it a real compliment! That goes for everyone, known and unknown to me.
I've been playing around with adding my signature to animations--overlapping it. I'll see how that comes out.

That was awesome! What program are you using to do the animations?
Originally posted by Transmute Jun That was awesome! What program are you using to do the animations?Thanks, TJ! The program is called Beneton Movie GIF Maker. I downloaded it from CNet Downloads. CNet Downloads I've had good luck with it, but the stills are very important. I use video player software to quick-grab the frames I want then adjust them with an imaging program. It takes a bit, but it's well worth the effort.
Originally posted by Fairlight I found a new way of capturing the shots that's almost frame by frame and very consistent. It's a lot of fun.Fairlight, do you capture shots from DVD video or any other format? Just want to say that I use AVI-format and there are software which avoid to make frame sequence from video fragment and not to push something like "Print Screen" any time.

This one's pretty big--almost 6MBs, but I couldn't resist. It's the circling eagle transformation I love so much.
It looks really good! Is it from episode 1?
Originally posted by lborgia88 It looks really good! Is it from episode 1?Close. Number 2: The Monstrous Aircraft Carrier Appears. Ken went solo in his civvies. I think that's why the circling eagle. No plane. I started the series over and am taking notes as the important things happen to characters and story-line. I hope to add in-depth analysis to my site with them. (as I've been told before, I have too much time on my hands!)
lborgia!!!! I'm in avatar heaven! That's the best one yet! And if you get tired of that one, try these...

Ooh.... the second one might work... what do you think, LB?
Originally posted by Fairlight I use AVI files.I use Virtual Dub to save frames from video, may be you find it usefull too. Actually, this program is absolutely amaizing for this purpose and also for cutting video files.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Ooh.... the second one might work... what do you think, LB?I don't know, he looks kind of depressed. Could it be interpreted merely as fatigue? I see possibilities in the first one too, but it's such a large image of Joe, it doesn't leave much room to add anything, does it? Fairlight, I was actually looking for these images, but couldn't find them. My current avatar was my idea, but TJ executed it very nicely for me!
Beautiful work, Fairlight! 
And lborgia...what a great idea! I was looking for a Ken one to do that with (but I didn't think about a "bed shot"- silly me!)...OOoh...come to think of it...i think I have the perfect screenie...LOL

Fairlight, Love the two animations
Everyone amazes me with all their creativity, it make me feel inadequate.

I thought you might save it to your computer and size it the way you wanted. Just let me know the size of your avatar and I can repost.
Thanks, Cloud. As for you, uploads or no, the board *would not* be the same without you. Everyone loves Cloud!!!

Originally posted by Fairlight Sorry. I thought you might save it to your computer and size it the way you wanted. Just let me know the size of your avatar and I can repost.Don't be sorry! It's not the size of the image -it's that I would have to crop myself down to only head and shoulders to fit into the image, or risk looking the size of a barbie doll vis a vis Joe.

Very nice, Fairlight! 
Originally posted by Fairlight Just finished this one today.It looks great! I think I know this scene -is it the one from episode 2, when the Galactor soldiers all refrain from firing on them while they introduce themselves?

I'm starting from disc one and going through them. I didn't have the great software then that I do now. Don't you just love those 'yeah, right' moments?

Good work Fairlight.
I look forward to seeing more animations as you go through the episodes.
That gif is awesome Fairlight! Its a shame its too big to be an avatar on here!
Originally posted by Cep That gif is awesome Fairlight! Its a shame its too big to be an avatar on here!Funny you should mention that Cep. I've been looking for a sequence that would fit the 25000b requirements. When you see my avatar change I will have found the perfect scene.
Here's an avatar size, but it's still too big a file to use. 1.31MB
Originally posted by Fairlight Just finished this one today.Oooo, I did a similar one...only it shows everyone except the Owl...(sorry CD...he was on the Phoenix)
Originally posted by SpringieI remember that one, Springie. I used it in that first Gatch vid. I remember being so impressed with all your animations that I thought they should be used for something. Have you made any more lately?Originally posted by Fairlight Just finished this one today.Oooo, I did a similar one...only it shows everyone except the Owl...(sorry CD...he was on the Phoenix)

Also, the Owl went with the Eagle and Condor to find out what happened to the coco plant fields.

Could be. All I know that it concerns Ryu's favourite subjects, cakes and sweets.

Cool...doesn't this scene usually pan the other way?
G-Force...five incredible young orphans...acting as one!
Inseperable...INSATIABLE...Invincible! 
Ooooo...I just noticed your little Fairlight trademark...how'd you do that???

Originally posted by Springie Cool...doesn't this scene usually pan the other way? G-Force...five incredible young orphans...acting as one! Inseperable...INSATIABLE...Invincible!This one is different--that's why I grabbed it. I like the right to left motion. It's from ep. 1 or 2 I think. The signature is easy with the program I'm using. On the interface menu there's an overlay option. When I click that, it allows me to choose which image I would like to overlay on the batch, so I made a special signature image to use and chose 50% opaque. Then I chose 'add to all' and bingo--all done. Cool, huh? I just wanted to play around with it to see how it looks. I may do that with more of them.

That's what I thought she did...
Originally posted by Transmute JunProbably, but I haven't gotten to all the batch commands yet. I'm still learning how to use the basic functions, and that doesn't come easy for me. I'm not a technical gal!Originally posted by Fairlight This one is different--that's why I grabbed it.Um.... can't you just grab the images the other way and flip them?
At this point, when I see something I like I use it so as not to have to manipulate too much!
