wow they just kinda come out of no where don't they?

From offcamera/offstage! :D

The last part of Chorus 1 uses a similar trick - I call it the "muppet trick", because the Muppet Show used it a LOT. Basically, once a character leaves the frame/set, they can reappear ANYWHERE, because you don't know where they went.

Red does a "swim" dance move and drops off the bottom of the stage, with the other four looking down after him then looking around (he's off stage, so he's "disappeared") then he walks back onstage for his solo.

And actually, he drops offstage again at the end of his solo, then pops up at the end of the lymons' duet! :D

Sounds like the same trick Bugs Bunny pulls alot. Honestly though, this is looking great! The motions look smooth, everyone moves properly and it just looks like its going to be alot of fun when its finished and I've played around with animation enough to know how much of a butt-load of work this is. So great job keeping on it

Your animation are amazing buddy!

That is some work!

That is some really great work! I just got done looking at both of them! The start of proffecinal animation i say! Keep up the great work! You got the char's going smoothly and ya got teh sound goind smoothly with the animation!
How many frams did this take?

Wow! Splendid!!

Ahah, this is gorgeous. I just watched this multiple times to check out what each character is doing. Just wonderful stuff - especially the staggering on the giggling lemon citra. But six characters on screen at once? Man, you love to make work for yourself - but it looks great.

Wow...

hey serious question! How long does a clip like this take to make? :)

There are a total of 992 separate drawings in this shot (including the initial keyframes which are not displayed here) so....probably two weeks of fulltime work? Considering that each sketch probably wouldn't take me much more than 5 minutes to do.

Not that I got it done that fast. I work haphazardly, a few minutes here, an hour there, etc. :B

That's actually really cool.

Oh wow, I can't wait to see it finished! Can you loop all the parts you've made so far together? I'd love to see it all at once :P

This is looking very epic, Snap.

Thankyou!

I like this entire animation because the song is catchy and I like the way their ears move :3

This is quite awesome.
Normally I don't find much great Flash animations floating about, but I can't wait to see this particular one finished!

And nice choice of song, also. I love Mika's music.

That's coz everyone tries to do them in Flash. ;)

This is created in Toonboom, I'm exporting to Flash to share it online. :D

Does Toonboom work the same as Flash?

Love the animations. I've added the song to my iPod.

awesome animation, looks so fluently

This is badass awesome!
Are you going to put it together in one single movie at sometime? It'd be so awesome! =^0^=

Yup

Awesome. =^_^=

Really nice animation!
Are you going to do the whole song? It'd be awesome^^

Yes, workin' on it

I love this, great work here :D

Thanks :3

Omg awesome! o.O Me +faves these ^_^

So are you going to put this all together at one point? Its making me sad that I cant watch all of what you have done at once.

Yep! You can see some of it on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsFQn6_YH18&fmt=18

Oh, man...I really want to see this finished. I'm really lovin' how this looks! Really great movement! It's gonna be super epic when it's done, I know it. :D

Omg! How fun! Even if it's just rough, the animation is SO good! ...... And I really love this song. XD

You know, your version of the misical is alot better than the real one :3

Hee, thanks :3

who did the song?

Credits are in the description.

I freaking love this!

Aw, this is cute. And so is the rest of it.

I've watched through the entire animation of what you have posted so far and it looks fantastic! I am itching to get into animation so bad but I don't have the technology right now to do anything really lengthy. I'll have to wait a while. But this has really inspired me!

Well if you wanna do 3D there's Blender, that's free :p

I might try it-- unfortunately, I have next to no experience in 3D XD I'd much like to work in traditional though :)

I've seen this on youtube... You're it's author???
That's really good

good job!

Yeah, now if only I can get it finished!

Thanks :D

omg this is awesome! I'm an animation student and this really inspires me to do well in my projects :3

I love this sooo much... I cant stop watching it XD

Interesting tune - It's damn catchy.

hehe can't wait to see the final vid when its done

dude, weren't you working on this at anthrocon last year (2009)? If you where, I saw you working on this... And I only just now happened to find it lol. I too wanna see this finished.... if it's finished.

Yep, I was. I only work on it sporadically. :3

The whole series of these are really, really cool!

Thanks!

I found the song on youtube.. with their music video.. it's crazy XD

put the parts together and upload it on youtube

I'm guessing this project has finally been scrapped? I haven't seen any work or updates on it in a long time now.

No, it's on hold

As long as there's still hope of seeing the finished project you've given me a reason to smile. Thank you.

I love watching these WIP animations! Was this ever finished? I'd love to see it :D

Tell me you put this thing together cause click next all the time is getting annoying and also it be cool to see all together

I remember seeing you work on this. Man I love watching this old thing sometimes XD
