Barman's back!
Apologies all I only have internet access at work so you wont see me around at the weekends, great stuff UA love what you've done.
Having a look back at the thread I think it's "Me Again" that's next in line, so something surprisingly fruity coming up...

OK, lets see if this works, I was going to add some text to this but I thought I'd upload it as it was to see what people thought.
Thanks to the Oracle for the flashy new gif animator program, I like it a lot but somehow I seem to feel less satisfaction from using it, it does all the work for you.
Right...
Design brief from Me Again:
something 'surprising' and with 'fruits and vegetables'

Nice work UA
one comment though, you might want to make the frame that says "were you in that Hitchcock movie?" a little longer as it goes by quite fast and is hard to read quickly enough

It's called Ulead gif animator,
TheOracle sent it to me through msn messenger, it's a cool program but it does take away some of the creative flare that's become a trademark of our gif's.
If all you want to do is add some spankingly flashtastic effects very quickly then this is the program to use, if you ask him I'm sure he can send it to you

Hey guys..
Great place you,ve got going here. (Permanent residence ?)
-can you do somethin with mine ?
( an occasional blink and the left side(your left) of the mouth curling up every now and then ?)(don't really want it synchronized)
Don't know if i want any eyebrow thing, might be to much..don't know....
( i don't want it to be distracting )
Thanks UA. & Barman
( I wasn't gonna do this, but ya'll have been coming up with some really
good GIF's)
Great job.

I haven't done another one yet, in awhile. I'm gonna have to do another one sooner or later. You all know about the new Contest being held in this forum group "Writer's and Artist's Hangout". It's the new Advertisements. Create one and maybe your's will be chosen.

If you are using a gif me or UA has done would you mind putting our animation in you signature, the URL needed is:

OK sasass,
Is this what you had in mind??
Here's the URL if you need it:
http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/uploads/post-68-1088508418.gifPersonally I'm not too keen on the mouth movement, I think an eyebrow lift instead would look better. If you would like a change ask me or UA and we'd be glad to help

Allrighty Mango girl
Heres what i came up with. Its a very small image so it was difficult.
Let me know if you want any changes
Barman, i havent gotten the uled gif animator yet, but since you have it, see if you can do something different with this one, i was thinking have the mango do that cool glow thing like on MC's.

I was wondering if it was possible to remove that thing underneath the arms (right in between)...It really sticks out now with the arms going up and down.Thanks!

Jun 30 2004, 03:07 AM
Looks good so far.
Can you make it blink faster ?
right now you have it blinking once every 4 or 5 seconds.
Can you make it blink twice in the same time frame.
I like the grin thing. Cool !
I'm going for an uneasy creepy look..
Thanks. I know ya'll have a lot of work.
Ooh.....How do i get your advert into my signature ?

Nice one UA, cheers for that
I'm not too sure how well that image is going to convert to a gif as the colours are limited but I'll give it a go...
here's how it would look as a gif, as you can see the colour is a little distorted:

Mostly just a combination of windows paint and microsoft gif animator,
as for the patience, given the choice of doing work or animating gifs, well there you have it. The appreciation of people miles away I've never met means more to me than that of the man in the next room I unfortunately call "boss".

you have that other animator, i was hoping you could make her mouth open up and light come out of it.

Jul 2 2004, 01:28 PM
Right,
it was a long time in the making but I re-worked Burnside's to incorporate the lighter flicking and the light flickering, ooh, tongue twister.

Right I'm having a go at that pic but what's it for?
How much do you want her mouth to open? And what colour light would you like? Or shall I just go with the flow and see what happens?
