Hello, Cleo gang….
Better late than never?
There’s still time to comment on
the Sept 6th 2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”
on Sherpa… linked to above.
Love the animation in this one.
You probably know that animations “flip through” a stack of almost-but-not-quite duplicate images, called layers,
each one showing things in slightly different positions.
As we view the shifting layers, we “see” motion.
More intermediate positions equals smoother motion.
As an animator, you have to choose..
try to fit an action packed 3 hour movie, with intricate backgrounds, into one animation….
…. which is great too….
or… have space for more detailed animation of one little inchworm and a pair of doggie eyes.
Dennis… don’t you call Cleo’s words a punchline?
I feel like she’s making a joke, whether she means to or not.
And while I have your attention…. who is Tad1?
Arlene, Arlene. You don’t need strings.. you need the right attitude.
A more subtle and invisible power.
Gosh… I was staring at that worm….. gliding ever so smoothly along,
so smoothly, it lured me to slumber.
And when I opened my eyes…. oh my!
For a moment I thought I fell asleep in front of the TV… in 1968.
So now I’m groggy. Not Grog. That’s somebody else.
But logy dozy, only half awake. …. all the things you probably think I am most of the time anyway….
So I think I’ll be inching my way to bed…
Thanks for checking in, Saucy….
Hope to hear soon that it’s all over and you’re safe and sound, with no damage to report.
G’night, all….
and thanks to everybody who’s still being patient with me, here and with late emails.
I’m working on it, honest.

Sherpa limits uploads to a certain size…. which limits the number of layers.As an animator, you have to choose..
