Exploring bones a little more in this Flash animation, in the arms and legs. As you can clearly see, there is a hole appearing behind the knee joint in the legs, and a small section above the foot. Arms also have a few odd shapes on the bend. It’s a pity Flash bones does not [...]

Playing With Flash Bones

I made the short movie below when exploring Flash CS5 Bones tool. I found it interesting enough, but it still has many limitations that will no doubt be ironed out in future versions of Flash. It would be nice to be able to create a bones applied symbol that would allow animators to go back [...]

Animation From My Archives

The following are a couple of Flash animated movies I did over the years for a project called Working Things Out, for the Mater Hospital. The budgets were pretty small, and the deadlines were tight, as a result the animation is limited. However I like to think the direction helped to keep them interesting. They [...]

Here’s a couple of scenes I animated to show animation companies that I know my stuff. I mixed the sound track myself with ‘fruity loops’ sound collection, edited in SoundFordge and Vegas. Animation done with Flash. I did upload a YouTube version of this but the compression took away from the line quality so decided [...]

To continue on with the showreel animation I mentioned in the previous post, here’s the symbol breakdown of the character I designed. The animation is to be limited so I kept the symbols to the minimum. Check this out and if you’re hiring get in touch at peterjmccormack@gmail.com.

Character designs I did some time back for a short flash animated cartoon called Seanachaí, Stroyteller Of Ireland. This played at Darklight and one other film festival in Dublin (can’t recall the name of it!) and got lots of laughs. Character head design that was to be used in a future episode that never got [...]

Okay, this is an old walk-cycle but I wanted to include it because I’m working on new 3d animations but I need something in the site now on the off chance someone is thinking of hiring me and needs to see a sample. This is just a basic character made with boxes, rigged and animated. [...]

Well do I remember lining up for the line tester in Ballyfermot with my first ‘bouncing ball’ line test drawings. There’s something special and raw about line tests. We’re so used to seeing beautifully finished special effect enhanced pieces of work that it’s sometimes easy to forget there are real people behind those creations. Watching [...]
