Animation, making cartoons!

[Frandie2b]

Here's an awesome cartoon I posted in p&m last year, this was made by N9K :

I've really just wanted to animate something as sort of a gift to my brother. Basically a story based on something from our childhood.

Since I don't know how to animate, I was figuring I'd draw a bajillion individual drawings, scan them, touch them up in photoshop and whatnot, and then put them in Adobe Premiere and just make a regular video out of them. I really enjoy video editing (too bad my PC is getting REALLY old).

This was made in Flash... but the guy is a professional animator. I believe he worked for Pixar or Disney, I can't remember. He's in business for himself now.

Check out Newgrounds.com for great animations. I signed up there way back in 1999. Don't really frequent it anymore, but most of the best Flash animators are there.

I would love to be able to make something like this. This would make a perfect re-occuring animation set for different people/guests, sort of talk showishy. Have different fighters on, with different close to accurate but funny voices, doing funny interviews.

I know stuff like this exists already, but being able to spread it like a plague onto other MMA forums would get you known rather quickly.

johnkilo, that is badass

check THIS liks out, the guy is super fuckin funny:

sheets; the MMA voices/prebek thing has already been done, and is being done well imo

We are way too creative here to not come up with some new out-of-the-box shit. Get that shoop GP brain going!

[sheetsMMAfan]

Yeah, your right....

I got so much shit brewing in my head, and the GP is being drug out so much, that I dunno what I am thinking TBH...

Maybe MMA fighters, in funny situations. Like, calling the series "What if?", and having each episode be about "What if?" an MMA fighter was in "situation X".

What if Paul Harris was a mechanic, and over tightened every bolt on a car?
What if Tito Ortiz, was Dana White?
What if Conor McGregor faught Cain Velasquez?
What if Rhonda faught Cyborg?

They can all be about various "What if?"'s in MMA, and we have PLENTY of funny topics to make and work with.

Holy fuck, those are brilliant

I have been fantasizing about using the talents of the F7 crew to put out a regular series of MMA spoof comedy like nothing that exists to date. Short, zinger jokes in rapid succession, all completely different from each other. Just the most far-out MMA jokes conceivable, executed in shoop-style bravado

I was gonna pitch it as 'The Masato Toys Show'... but 'The F7 Show' would be pretty funny too

We could all write, design, animate, voice, direct depending on what ideas come up and who has or doesn't have time to work on it.

I swear if we make a killer pilot episode we could get some serious bids for sponsors etc. TTTH's schtick will get stale eventually, but an SNL/Robot-Chicken type skit show can go forever and only get better

I am on board good sir!

lets start drafting some ideas. (maybe keep them in emails, lets get some CC addresses to link up)

Please keep in mind I will likely have no time for any of this until 2014, but we can start brainstorming at the least.

I would be fully willing to do all of the animation on Toon Boom, if we could find someone who wants to draw all the characters. Drawing REALLY frustrates me, because I have the way everything needs to look in my head, but I lack the ability to get it to my liking on paper. If I am looking at a picture, I can reproduce that picture to a 99% likeness. If i am to try and reproduce stuff in my head, it just doesn't work for me.

I have tons of ideas for "What If?" Episodes, would be willing to full on write scripts for these, and animate these with use of others drawings. I made a stick figure walk across the screen and smile, I can surely make anything now :)
