Ok so I got to thinking and the disolving floor wasn't working for me, so i tought about a trap door, so I started from there.

there's still a lot of work left to do but here's an update.





any C&C would be apreciated


Edit 2:
Added a filing cabinet + papers & a safe, a "door entry" and re-timed it a bit.

Edit 3:
Many more frames added, reshaped the legs of the walking dude, added a window(not sure about that). purple dude now flips the switch(kinda).




Edited by Dutrho

it looks kinda weird since he's just standing there while the floor disappears... I understand you're going for the cartoony thing where someone walks off a cliff and continues walking until they realize where they are and fall, but still, there should be some kind of reaction on his part.  Maybe he could raise his arms as he falls?  

Also, do you have any ideas for the walls? Cause that would add so much to this, it could tell the story of where he is... and why the floor is falling lol.

Well, that's it for now, can't wait for an update

In my opinion, one of the most important things about an animation is its flow throughout. It looks odd when a person magically appears, or the floor just shows up again.

And, to make it more interesting, have a giant crevasse work its way across the floor. Also, have some increase in speed as he falls. Or, like someone suggested, make it the cartoony dust-poof.

Make the walls crack or something, they're too blank at the moment.

And, just curious, what program did you use to make this?

very nice, imho

 

but you should fix the appear of the man....

why don't you make him enter from the door an than fall into the trap?

All in all, I think you need some more highlights, or a more contrasting pallate. It's a very groovy idea and I like the animation, but I'd also add some extra stuff into the room. It seems a tad bare.

Nice idea, but must open and close door when hi is enter.

Your animation will be with very much frames and I think file will be with very big size ..., but try to make some light parts in corners of hole, furniture, pictures and floor because now for me they are very dark ...

animation of open and close hole isn't good maybe need delay and accelerate in some frames as vision :)

=========================

:) GDGB :)

 

That's really great dude. 

No specific file size yet (the animation has to justify large file size).  You've got nothing to worry about... you're only at 9KB right now and the cool animation makes double that definitely worthwhile.

i really like this idea, kind of like mr burns from the simpsons lol,
why not add smithers??
i think the walls are a bit empty, maybe add a filing cabinet and a
ming vase??
anyways cant wait to see the finished product

The filing cabinet and safe help fill the room out.  Did you decide on what you were going to have for the words?

i think barcodes work well, it leaves more to the imagination!

Schweet! One thing, though. The buildings out the window suggest that it's on the 163rd floor. I see that as a problem, but that may just be me.

One thing that stuck out to me, the guy doesn't actually pull the switch...?

you guys are killing me!!




keep it up!






back to work for me, lol

I'll try to get it done later on today.

Sorry If I missunderstand you but is this what you mean?


or are you saying to add more frames to the walk animation to make it more fluid.

I have to argue with sedgemonkey, I think the barcodes do well as "speech" because they ARE just gibberish to 99.9% of the population who can't read them (actually, can ANYONE "read" them?) and I think it's interesting and original.

however if you want it to be more blatantly speech maybe encorporate it elsehwere in the room, on a picture, papers on the desk, billboard outside the window somewhere else to show it's the "language" of the place.

Or maybe do actual faces with moving lips in the bubbles, like the guy walks is and says somthing, then show the guy at the desk getting pissed and thn bye bye...

the sitting guys upper legs disappear when he ''stands up''

I decided to submit it as is, just cause i have other project I need to focus on and I have very little time on my hands.

if accepted great, if not thats ok.

thanks, i might get back to it at a later date.
