Heyyyyy. old man Intbel, yeah you with the white hair

I like the animation, especially the scratch animation. Couple of questions. Are these all done with xtreame or are you paying some actor to act like a moving line and scratching himself in public. I'd like to see how your creating these without having to go through a whole learning curve so I was wondering if you could post the xtreame file, even some of your other animations would be nice to analize. What you ask; well, like how many pictures do you have to draw to get smooth motion, like where did the sense of humour come from to create a line scratching itself, like, like, like oodles and oodles of questions. If you did post the xtreame file would I be able to look at it frame by frame to see how it is done and last but not least, how long did it take to create these. Are we talking minutes or hours........frank

No live (or dead or sleeping) actors are used in the making of my animatons.
Used Xara only.
Sense of humour is the result of living in a world full of idiots.
Minutes, not hours.
File attached.

reminds me of that animation with a line which turns into a guy.
I think it was italian.

Glad to know I can make you laugh.

Heyyyyy Popeye, long time no see (????), if that is the right way of stating an absense on the forum, both yours and mine to some degree. I've got the line to analize and I have a feeling you also may have downloaded it, probably to plugin it with chrome or glass....oh, oh, oh, just got an idea. Try the fire plug in on one side of it and see what the little bugger does then.....I bet you it just won't sit there scratching itself this time. I just might post a doodle in your honour called a strange square, using a little bit of plugins.....maybe, maybe not.....glad to see your still alive and kicking and enjoying Intbel...the guy is amazing, old as hell and looking twice his age maybe, but still very creative.......frank

[Intbel]

Grrr! I have vast reserves of as yet untapped creativity.
S'long as I have coffee an' baccy I'll keep on going ..

Intbel, these line anims are great, I've always been impressed with how effective such simple graphics can be when used with imagination and talent. Love to see more.

Hey, thanks Mike.
(I'd rather be a good illustrator tho.)
These line anims are fun to do - they even make me smile!
I think it's just the sheer pointlessness which makes 'em amusing.
Here's another:

Sorry, running out of time so I can't finish it right now, but I think you get the gist of things. Some wise person on this forum once said, to use somebodies elses work once is plagarism but to use it twice is reasearch.......frank

And three times is robbery?
