Dot Dot Dot - Animated ... and more

Posted by RicePirate - January 6th, 2011


I've been a huge fan of D-Mac-Double's performance of Dot Dot Dot, based on a review of Rhete's Super PSTW Action RPG.

So I figured I'd try my hand at a typography animation. So here it is:

Dot Dot Dot - Animated

Enjoy!

--------------------

Reasoner has given me the green light for the official music video of his song Prism, off his latest album Prologue. So that's my next solo project.

The 24HRC3 has a second part to be completed later this month, more than half the parts are actually complete, so I'll need just a couple of artists to finish off the last segments. Obviously, getting info on the most recent 24HRC isn't too hard, so to ensure that artists use a genuine 24 hour period, I'll actually be assigning characters to feature (that or giving a list of options).

Among other various projects, I'm going to begin the monumental task of organizing the Creaturing Art Collab. I haven't let this one gather too much dust. I have over 200 drawings of creatures from Woodinville Montessori from their 1st through 6th grade students. I'll likely be creating a wordpress site to manage everything.

Speaking of wordpress, I'm waiting on the new NG site design by JohnnyUtah. After it's live, I'll likely create a wordpress template clone, if that's cool with JU and Tom, for any artist who'd like to have their own NG clone to run projects from, blog about their art, or whatever they like :)

Happy 2011! Let's make stuff.

What a powerful voice track!

And a little O Fortuna in the background didn't hurt :P

Only critique is I want to click on the "Super PSTW Action RPG" text at the end to load up the game... Otherwise you have to go through the song submission page (which could also be clickable text) or search to get to it. :)

FP!

doing it now... and done.

What game was he talking about :D
AND THAT WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY!!!

it's axman13 not axeman13

shit, will fix all this now

Holy crap that was amazingly awesome, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Great work!

In reply to Stickman91, yes it was a real review, but it got deleted.

Glad I could bring more light to your game :D and DMac's performance!

How hard is it to make this kind of animation?

It just takes time to plan it out. :)

so you just use tweens or?

mostly motion tweens. For some more specific stuff, I did fbf. I'm sure there's a million ways to do this type of thing. This was my first, so I'm sure I wasn't as efficient as I could have been :)

Laughed a lung out. Great work!

But you ned yor lunges!

What font did you use (it looks really good)

You all have it. It was one font. A simple font. And appropriately named, "Impact".

"Enjoy" you say? Enjoy I did indeed!

Also, lol. Some people have already started re-posting the review on Super PSTW. Think you might have an apology in order coming up XD

LMAO, i hope Rhete considers them love bites.

Haha, I just finished marking this review as abusive. That's funny. xD

why so meen? :P

An epic game given an epic review read in an epic style animated in epic typography. Stacking effects = über epicness
I wish there was a better word I could use than "wonderful," but really, I'm tongue tied. You showed how simple and elegant (and deceptively easy-looking) ideas can kick some major ass.

And I agree: *everything* is better with a little O Fortuna thrown in. Well played, sir.

<3 much thanks

I re-watched this again since so many people find this amusing and its kinda growing on me now. I missed a lot of D-Mac-Double's funny literal pronunciations the first time because I was preoccupied simply reading the text and I am currently experiencing very strong jet lag. He really did a good job with it but I still am not a fan of typography and much prefer your awesome collab works. So I'm going to selfishly request you make more stuff "for me". lol

well, in that case, more work "for you" is coming in the near future :)

RicePirate, sir, you are incredible.

I just put it together ;) the real genius is DMac, axman, and rhete ;)

You're all incredible in different ways. I looked at DMac's page earlier, and the vocal range of that man is crazy. The way it was animated empowered it more. It looked really professional, plus the little bits here and there like the "Contrail" definition. It reminded me heavily of this, something I've come across quite a while ago:

WONDERFUL kinetic typography!

XD And YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!! I ALWAYS wanted to see that audio clip animated!

You win so hard~! <3 <3 <3

Kinetic typography! THAT's what it's called!! thanks :D (i couldn''t think of the name!)

The voice on this flash was sooo awesome!! :D The music made everything much better!!! xD Lol.

See? the classics are classic for a reason :) So glad you liked it!

awwwhh shit dude that whole thing was so synergistic and perfect. I totally want to do an animated version now (but am almost definitely too lazy). nice one!

u not lazy, you hot

What is the Creaturing Art Collab exactly?

It's basically this ... by NG artist :)

Was that your first try at animated typography? If so, I'm very impressed.

It was... and likely my last ... I can't imagine ever topping this. Dmac was too epic, the music was just too serendipitous, and the review too amazing...based on a great game...

But who knows, I got way too many other projects in mind. This one just snuck in there.
