Heart Hallyu! Intro

Here's the newly completed animated intro I did for Lisa Oh's Heart Hallyu! Since I didn't post her site last time I'm posting it this time.

and

She didn't really give me much direction this time, beside that it all needed to be cute. All she required was I keep the pink cloud backdrop, have the chibi girl mouth "heart hallyu!", and have the bunnies come down from above, say "yay" and bounce once. Plus have the chibi girl do something like jump or wave...

So I thought instead of having the chibi girl jump in again like her last intro, I made it so she's already on screen to save time. I made the bunnies appear after she puts the hat on so it feels like the bunny hat is magical and summons bunnies when worn. Great hat right?! I tried to do that hat wearing animation by tweening at first, but it just didn't look right. Frame by frame always looks better, and I respect all those frame by frame animators out there that do so!

By the way, the original art was done by... you guest it! Fiona Quan, AKA Tamagochan! She does awesome work and is always a great artist to work with.

Finally updated with 2 animations!

I'm finally updating this thing! I haven't really had time to create much interesting animations lately, with a job and personal biz. But I will be showing off some recently done stuff I did some time ago.

and

I vectorized and animated the pieces from the original art. Which by the way was done by Fiona Quan, AKA Tamago. You could view some of her stuff on her blog here: http://2dtamago.blogspot.com/
She's an awesome artist, very talent and easy to work with.

I was told that the animations needed to be very short since they were going to be used as a intro for some videos. So I had to make due with such a short time frame while adding subtle details that made the animation flow. The end result was loved by the receivers, Ed Park and Lisa Oh. You could visit their site here if you want:

Ed's site has a whole bunch of gaming tips and strategies.

I believe Lisa's sit isn't fully done yet, but you could follow her on Facebook.

She did mention she needed a new intro, so look forward to that soon. I'll post her site up later, along with the finished intro I'll be doing for her.

Till next time!
