Got asked to do a planet to some school project, so I did two planets derp. They weren't supposed to be that special, but here they are:

I'm bored by this blog, and I'm to bored to animate, like I've been the last 3 months. Sigh.

Frame by day.

I can't say that this shitty ass tree movie isn't starting to be very heavy on my shoulders. I've realy milked this shit by animating like one frame every day. I don't even think I' halfway through it yet. But I made a promise to myself that as soon as I felt like this i would finish the movie as quick as possible, but still be happy with the result. So anyway, what I've done today is the intro and with that also the text which shows the name of the movie, and you can see the result underneath:

Edit: It's actually way better resolution on the text in the movie.

Updating soon!

Diamond league in Starcraft2, VikingCup inc, CraftCup inc. I'm animating atm, update will come later tonight. And hopefully a nice picture to this post as well. BRB!

OH EM GE!

Posting one more picture before going to sleep, and beleive it or not, but this tree is actually smoking weed, from a bong (and yes, some other dude is holding a small lighter in the end of the bong in the animation). When you though you'd seen it all, and this appears, crazy stuff, oh so crazy.

Sry for the bad english, haven't slept for 24 hours.
And I just realised that I didn't remove those object marks (the white dots in the pictures)

Shallow woods.

These trees are some fucked up trees. For instance, they're gonna have sex. So here's a shot from the movie. I'll take a quick nap and then post another one were another tree is doing another fucked up activity. Sry for bad english.

Nu har det fan ballat ur.

Intro scene.

The clock is around 21.33 here in sweden today, and I haven't played one Starcraft II game what so ever today. Instead I've been drawing the Intro scene for my movie. So here it goes, I present to you my intro scene picture:

The name of the movie and all other text like the "BobSeibold presents" and shit will be shown in the left corner of the picture. When the intruduction is ready the camera will move down through the trees down to a small glade. Pretty much the first movie half will be shown in this glade. And that's it for today!

Streaming.

Short note: I've started streaming. Sometimes i stream me animating, painting, photoshopping, and sometimes even Starcraft II. Under here is a embeded link to my stream:

Watch live streaming video from bobseibold at livestream.com

Diagram is king.

I SUCK at starcraft II but it's still awesome! But, some of my other hobbies have taken a blow, like doing flash movies etc. I'm still doing it, but way slower than before. And that face bothered me, so i decided to do a... DIAGRAM! Which you can see under here:

I'll let this diagram speak, click it so you can read the text, it's sad but it's true! Well I'm off to play some SC2 games! After that I'll will work with my flash movie, maybe. I'll work with it, I think. FUCKIT, I WILL WORK WITH FLASH LATER!

Short update.

Starcraft II is awesome, I'm barely animating these last couple of days, and now I'm going away for 3 days. Cheers.

Uh, SC2 tommorow!

I'm working sooo slow these days. The movie wont get out before this month is over for sure. I'm currently animating with textures, and to be honest I'm pretty fucking sure I'm doing it the wrong way, because it takes forever! Anyway changed my header to a picture from my movie. My awesome movie, with four characters, four trees. Picked a new header aswell since the last one was, bad. Under here you'll read a discription how I animate it, my own slow way, so skip the next text fragment and just check out the picutre if you just don't give a shit about bad animating technique.

So what I do is to create a texture, then I draw the character just as black outlines. I use FBF animation and because of that i usually draw 5-6 framse a go which consists just of the characters outlines. After that I create a new layer, where I put the texture, after that I make a new frame on the texture layer for every frame on the character outlines layer. After this I just erase every bit of the texture which is outside the outlines, and I do that for quite some time, on every, fucking, frame. Uh that was a bad description, but that will do!

Finally on a spree!!11

New background for my upcoming movie. This is seriously the only thing I've done lately that I'm satisfied with.
I'm gonna animate this whole movie by FBF-animation (frame by frame), it will be both fun and hard work, work. Anyway, I wont let out more details about it for now.

Some of my old comics.

Just cleaned my whole room he other day and found some of my random comics from the past (Click for bigger picture, and sorry for all the misspellings), enjoy:

I'ma be slackin'.

I've been away for pretty much the whole day, and when i came home i got one of these impulsive things, I started photoshopping a header for my blog. I figured it was about time. Since I'm playing Starcraft II atm i figured I could do something fun with it, so I photoshopped my head into a marine suit. My skills in photoshop aint that good, but this will do for now. Here's the pictures I used and the final product:

This is the first version, I'll keep updating it and making it btter and better, I really just wanted it up there asap.

Why no updates?

Why no updates lately you might ask. That's because I've been away in the forests of sweden, where I've been eating McDonalds and riding my awesome bike for 1 week:

Anyway I've started to work in flash again, and my current project is a game. It will be greatly influenced by the game Bit. trip runner on the Wii. I'll upload screendumps tonight or tommorow, and from that I'll be very active with the updates on this blog.

Sup, I'm a kid again!

I LOVE MY LIFE ♥

Im finally free from "Katedralskolan Växjö", such a fucking bad school. I've started to exercise, my day rhythm is still normal and I'm working with Flash almost every day, lovely♥.

CLICK THE IMAGE FOR WAY BETTER RESOLUTION!

Here's the new picture, it's from the scene before the final scene. The thing with this scene though is that i did focus alot on visuals, but also much more on animation and how the nature moves, than i did before. Pretty much everything moves in this picture (if it would move in real life that is). The water is streaming down, the trees are moving by the wind, and even the door is moving by the wind (strong fucking wind, eh). But the most amazing thing if you ask me (fuck, im the one who did this background, i think everything about it is amazing) is the sunlight, which also moves and all the "raining" leaves, which you can just see when it's in motion. Its looking pretty beautiful.

Btw, the sunlight was made in Photoshop, i had a hard time figuring out how to take it from photoshop to flash, but finally i made it, and I'm happy with the results. I might post some pictures (guide) from how I do it.

I'm off! Stay tuned for the video this month♥.

One new picture from the project.

A new day, a new screen dump.
A few say, that it's a huge jump.
Just because it's mainly gray, except the blood, which indicates a slay.
Doesn't mean that it's still, play(ful)?

My rhymes are fly. Cole (from Gears of War) is brutally killing (or just playing around with a dead) blob. I did go with a much grayer background in this scene (as you can read in my, oh so awesome rhymes), mainly as a tribute to the game Gears of War, and ofc because it's a flashback which is taking place in a Gears of War-World? City? Err...This movie WILL be done before the end of this month, and since I'm free ("wasting my life at home") I'll start doing more movies (or try to).

Btw, I just read through this post and noticed that i used alot of -->()<-- marks (what ever they're called) So i think I'll do it some more: (Here's the picture (which is awesome (FUCKING awesome!)))





Once again, please click for better resolution(?). And that white stuff you can see under the gun and on the walls, stones, blood ect, is actually light effects from the weapon when it's shooting those bullets. I swear, it looks so much better in motion, I swear!

(Edit) I just had to upload a picture from the scene when the gun isn't shooting, so you can see how the lightning effects play out. I still have to say that it looks way better in the actual movie, with sound effects and what not!

New pictures from my ongoin' project.

Finally I've graduated and all the parties are over and what not. So today have pretty much been the first time in 1-2 weeks that I've had the time to create some stuff in Flash.

The first picture I'll post is almost the same as you can see in the blogpost before this one, except that I've changed the leaves and bushes to something much better. I HAD to do this since the other leaves and bushes were buil upon loads of different symbols in Flash which made my movie lag, alot. But I have to say that I'm much happier with it as it is now. You can also see two blobs, who are the main characters in my movie.

The second picture is over a desert, which is the 2:nd scene. You can see one blob standing on top of a mountain, and some other blobs behind a palm tree. Anyway, enough of the text and lets post the pictures (Click em for better resolution):

Long live the Blobs(?)!

I started my new awesome project today. Main title: "Long live the Blobs(?)!" hint, hint. I really came a long way today, longer than I expected atleast. So I'll post a pic from the intro of the movie below:

CLICK THE IMAGE FOR WAY BETTER RESOLUTION!

Some booring talk about the pic inc: I started using a new painting style today, I'm using the arrow which you select stuff with, not the arrow that makes a square of selected materia, but the arrow where you select stuff on your own, pretty much. Fuck i hate when I don't remember the names of the tools.

Anyway I select stuff I wanna shade with this arrow thing and my tablet instead of painting it. If you just understood my description you should get a price. Well I'll come back and talk more about this style this week. I also tried to get more shadows in this movie, which you can see in the picture.

Im off! New update in a few days about my ongoing project! Sup!

This is not something good, nor is it meant to be.

The video above is not good at all, I can tell you that. Since I started this "short film" before my School Project (the game), means that this is my first Flash project ever, which describes why it is so.. random?

All I wanted to do with this film was to try out some different things, like zooming, doing moving backgrounds, fixing with music, and lip syncing(which you actually don't see in the movie since i removed it.) At first I wasn't going to upload it at all, since it was, like I said, >a test<. The reason for uploading it anyway was that it could be fun to watch it some months later from today, and actually see how basic my first flash movie was.

Now that I've tried some stuff out here, and in my game (which actually is good, and hopefully I'll upload it aswell soon), I'll try to make some good stuff, some "serious" stuff if you will. I already got a manuscript for my next movie, and I've already started the drawing. I can write with 100% certainty that I'll post some pics from my new project later tonight, or early tommorow.

Flash can wait. PHOTOSHOP NIGHT SUP!

The blog title says it all! Flash had to wait tonight to give space for the Art_School_Project_VitaminWell I had. I'll just leave you with my video which will explain the rest (if you read the video information!)

Btw, the LOST ending was fucking amazing. Much love to LOST!

Game Over Indeed.

I'm "finally" done with my school-project in Flash. It's currently on swedish so I'll try to translate it to english in the upcoming weeks. It's pretty much impossible to do something on my spare time at the moment, since im graduating in 2 weeks(?). But after that I'll be going strong with flash again. The pictrures above is from my schoolproject and pretty much the only 2 Game Over scenes in thw whole game.

Anyway upcoming shit:
-Getting my Schoolproject up and running on the internet (English ofc)
-Be done with my flashmovie, which I've posted "work-pics" from, some weeks ago.
-Start my new project, a short movie in form of a commercial.
-Get a real Header on this UNfabulous blog!

k!

School"Fucking"Project.

(Side note before reading this shit: It's really really late (or early) right now, so I'm really tired. This means that you will find loads of errors in my text, which i will fix later.)

First let me just explain some things, these last couple of weeks have been major booring for me. Homework after homework after homework after homework, well you get it. So I will have to put my first Flash project aside for some week now, but I'll will still be working with flash, since I'm doing a project in flash at school right now. SPOILER, I'm doing a game. The game will be done around May 17.
Under here you can see some screen dumps from my game in progress:


This is a picture from the world, all you do here is to pick the next level to play. Which actually is kind of retarded in my game since there's a order you have to go through, so you can't really PICK randomly what level to play next, since it's already decided which map is next.


Above here is a picture from the first world, level, stage or whatever you want to call it. Can't really be arsed to write more about it, you will have to play the game when it's out to find out more.


This is a picture from the second world (or what word you picked to describe it). As you can see there's some green awesome dude with a flag, and well, play the game to find out more!


And above here is a picture from the third world, and I can say this: All these different things you can see on the picture will be used to in some way start the computer in the right corner. Play the game to find out more!


And here is the last screen dump for today, It's from the fourth and last world. Which is under water. I just had to have a under water level cause they're always so filled with fish and other cool stuff!

Intro for the first "Short Film"

I got one of these awesome tablet, it was pretty complicated at the beginning, but I'm loving it more and more for every second i draw with it. So the first thing I did after I installed it was to start drawing the intro for the whole film I'm making, my plan was to start showing the sky and then scroll down to a small school, and I'm pretty happy with the result:


I thought the picture was pretty booring so I added a pedophile-dude, just outside the school. Sick? Well it's funny to me. I started to animate the sun, clouds and the pedodude so the whole intro scene would be more alive. My plan after this scene is to switch to the one in my last blog post, aka the classroom picture with the train, and from there I'll keep working with the first short film (Which is soon done eh). Oh and the voice for the Train has also been recorded by Emit (Oscar Öhrn).

New background for my upcoming short film.

As you can see on the picture below i decided to be one of those guys who thinks every picture you put on the internet will be stolen, and that lead to the "Bob Seibold Productions" alpha text, that's taking a nap over the picture.


Anyway, this background is actually from the first short movie (All my short movies will in some way be connected). If you can't see what it's supposed to be by looking at the photo I'll make a quick summary of it:

The picture is showing a train, in a kindergarden room. Oh and if you can't read the sign says "Career Day", you know that day when kids parents comes to their kindergarden to teach all the FUCKING kids about their jobs (or this is what I have collected from watching all these American movies.) Oh and one last detail, one of the wheels got a mouth and two eyes.

And that's pretty much it. I'm not gonna go deeper into the story, you'll have to see the short films by yourself when they finally comes up on the internet (within 2 weeks, eh).

First!

Okey, so today i decided to start a new Flash project, or my first flash project for that matter. And remember that my skills in Flash are very restricted, but that will change, I hope.

Ait, so I pretty much just started Flash, and then the usual menu popped up, the one where you select what kind of Flash project type you want. I had no clue at all what to pick, but a quick google search later and I decided to go with Actionscript 2.0. Anyway I just started to draw the background, and then work my way from there. While I was painting the background I thought about what type of movie I wanted to do as my first project. Since I'm pretty much new to this I pretty much decided to have 3-5 short movies as a first project. So I kept drawing my backgrounds for the first short movie.

Above here you can see the first screen dumps (Click the pictures for a bigger Version) of the background from my first short movie. It took me more than a couple hours to come up with this poor, non-detailed background. The background is wide as hell, but it's supposed to be scrolling in the actually movie.

Oh, and that pink dude is actually the main char in this short movie, and my plan is pretty much just to do some random shit with him. Anyway that's it for the first day. I'll come with more updates as soon as possible.

Oh(Again), the blog looks like shit, if you haven't noticed, that is.
