Yesterday at our online meeting we went over all of our animators’ puppet tests, animated shots, and backgrounds. We also looked at new versions of some of our animatics and critiqued the changes.
Recently, we found out that one of our crew members (Rachel McWhirter) was hiding her marketing experience from us so, instead of making backgrounds, she’s now working hard to make three different trailers to promote Double Rainboom. At the meeting we got to see a Double Rainboom trailer in the works!

Howdy Everypony! Looks like “Double Rainboom” is getting talked about on a recent episode of “Radiant Eclipse”. You can hear it at the 19:00 minute mark.

How do you use the puppet rig in flash? I am used to traditional animation and wanted to try flash.

“Animating with puppet rigs in Flash is - shall we say - a sort of hybrid between traditional animation and animating with a 3D model in a program like Maya. You have a puppet broken into dozens of different parts - and you animate each part separately from one another. For example: You’ll animate the head for the entire shot - then the torso connected to the head - then the limbs - then the facial expressions - so on and so forth. Approaching the animation in steps is the way a skilled puppet animator will get a shot done.
If you’d like to learn more about the different ways to animate puppets - then we can send our "Smiley Face Demo” that we have all of our animators work through - to you.“
