When the stage and character are in, we are ready to go. Once you have your assets in the right folders you just drag (or double-click) them into your Stage View. Setting the scene up in Cartoon Animator is very straight forward. He delivered the sound in layers, so I could work with it however I wanted. Even adding a bit more character to him with a few extra lines of dialogue. I wasn’t too sure what type of voice I wanted for Fancy Fred but with William’s background in Radio and years of experience, he was able to find Fred’s voice and did a fantastic job. So I didn’t even attempt it on this animation and left it to a professional, William Schenold, a friend I have used in the past for voices. Great animation can be ruined by bad voice-over and audio. One thing I’m no good at is voice acting. Inside you will find a huge range of styles in both stores but I love to play with 3D stylised backgrounds and my characters (so far) tend to be more cartoon-like and sketchy. The main background is my ‘Stage Right-Deluxe’ and the main character is ‘Fancy Fred’ from my ‘Cast and Crew’ series of G3 characters. I decided for this animation to use some of my own assets.
From backgrounds to props, characters and complete scenes… you won’t be short of choice. Reallusion has a large marketplace for its various software packages and you won’t be disappointed with Cartoon Animator’s Marketplace either (anyone can make content and upload it to their own store on Reallusion) and the Content Store (assets from selected feature developers, like myself). A hook comes out behind him and yanks him off stage.So, a Priest, a clown and a Call Girl walk into a bar and….”.He says “Thank you, thank you, you are all awesome…we have some classy people here tonight!….it’s great to be here.I want to have the character walk onto the stage with applause.For this example, I wanted to keep it short and simple (which is always my intention, to begin with, but I always seem to end up with something a lot bigger than I intended by the end). The idea is a part of the process the software can’t help with but we all have great ideas, so make sure you keep a notebook or some sort of digital notepad to keep track of them all.
