check out this video i made

I made a website(small short one so far so don't think its terrible). Look at the video i made. Its short but I think its pretty cool. Especially i am fairly new at this.

Exceeded bandwidth.

 

Yup. Exceeded bandwith. I wish someone could tell me a free alternative to geocities.

 

There are tons of alternatives. Go to http://www.freewebspace.net/ and they will list all the free servers out there and compare the features.

 

ok, it works

 

um no it doesen't!

 

Very nice! A little ... short, but nice! Some things you may want to take into consideration, however. It looked like your saber didn't really have any 'blur' to it; it didn't fan out when it was swung. I know you know what I mean - watch any of the fights in TPM and you'll see what I'm talking about. The line tool is nice, and very easy to use, but there's a reason those rotoscopers at ILM are paid the big bucks! When it gets swung, break out the Lasso tool and trace around the whooole thing. Believe me, you'll be very pleased with the results. I saw you did it in like one frame, but other than that, the shape of the saber didn't seem to vary. You had the right idea!

And also, your 'aura' seemed to be pretty tight. It may do you well to download Ryan_W's saber tutorial.

Have fun, and welcome to the VERY wide world of rotoscoping!

 

Ack! Thats some serious bandwith problem...........

 

i am so pleased that you liked it. Thanks for the info on how i can make it better. Thanks a lot.

may the force be with you
