Froggo

I made up Froggo a few years ago. After talking to a friend and thinking I can take a stab at an old game idea I had based on him, I'm thinking I might give making it a reality a shot. Made a turn around sheet in case we have animated segments.

Action Points

I haven't updated in ages. Been pretty busy trying to do a lot and just forgot about the blog.

I've made a number of pictures and for a while I was heavily focused on creating a youtube channel and building the visuals for branding. So up first is that.

I had edited video before but never put my art and animated it some in a video editor. Since I do a little bit of writing about games I felt pretty strongly about some topics and felt that writing just wouldn't be good enough to reach a wider audience. I really don't like the idea of video blogging though and think the subject should be valued for it's content rather than who said it. On the flip side though I know a disembodied voice can turn some people off and know it always helps if they can attach a face to it. I found inspiration in the Sprite Communications that Snake and Otacon have in Metal Gear Solid 2. (As seen below) 

I liked how it felt like secret transmissions between Snake and Otacon and wanted to try and give the viewer that same feeling. Recreating all the original assets and then learning how to use them correctly AND animating my video opening was quite a bit of work but I'm fairly pleased without things look now.
