JASC Animation Shop

HI dkenshaw;

I DO enjoy your GIF'S.
I'm also not able to draw worth a shit, so do understand where your comming from.
I'm also a retired auto mechanic myself.
I took that "Dirty Harry" saying to heart<
" I do know my limitations"
Once again very AWESOME GIF's

Always a friend:

Thanks,

The old mechanic is working on and obnoxiously complex one, that's why I haven't been around lately. I'm trying to set the benchmark high for Vegi's "Super" GIF.

Haha, it better not be too good dude.

A-Hum, "amazing," "famous," etc....Sounds like I"ve got to make it super-good so no one with spit on my efforts.

For those of you who will grow old and die before I finish the GIF I'm working on, I'll describe it so you'll have a reason to hang on a few extra days.

In the foreground is a rear-end view of a guy over a padded stool, pants down, with a she-male's meat thermometer taking his internal temperature.

In the background is a mirror in which you can see it's that Jessica lookalike from “Costume Party,” and she's having a great time.

How to make a GIF, even if you're a no talent boob like me:

You need a couple programs first.

1.Some kind of paint program, like Photoshop.
I use Gimp. Gimp has a lot of good things going for it and best of all, IT'S FREE!

2.An animation program.
There are a lot of free animation programs out there, and if any of you find one you like let me know. I didn't like any of the ones I tried so I blew the $19.95 and bought JASC Animation Shop. It's one of those ones you can try for 30 days before buying, but it only took me 3 days to know it was the one I wanted.

I could give you more, but you've got to play with these two programs first.

Try everything. Download any picture you want and see how many ways you can screw it up.

Pay close attention to cutting and pasting, you'll be using those functions a lot if you can't draw like me.

Next time I'll tell you how I am doing the one I'm working on now.

As I said last time, cutting and pasting is important if you can't draw.

For the GIF I'm doing I cut and pasted:

1.The walls and floors from “Costume Party.”
2.The Captain's bottom half and down pants from “Fucked at Sea.”
3.She-male's backside in the up position from “The Window Washer.”
4.She-male's backside in the down position from “Rub-a-Dub-Dub.”
5.Man's face in the mirror from “Back room Interrogation.”
6.The stool he's held down on, the mirror you're seeing their faces in and the duct tape over his mouth all come form a Google search under Images. (Narrow your search to “Large Pictures” or you'll get useless mini-pic. You can always resized to smaller, but resizing them bigger gives you pure crap.)
7.Mixed and matched the eyes, arms and mouth for Jessica from “Costume Party.”
8.I'll also be replacing the guy's eyes from “Back Room Interrogation” with another set but don't know which yet.

When you think two pictures might work for an animation, load them into Animation Shop and see what works and what don't. Then mess around some more. You'll be putting me to shame in no time.

Wowzorez, thats alot of work, Photoshop would have that done in like 10 mins. Layers Layers Layers

Hi Dkenshaw:

So how would I go about finding the Gimp Photo shop?
Then can I find the JASC Animatio Shop At any good out let store?

How do I go about finding things like:
Costume Party
The window Washer
Rub a Dub Dub
Backroom Interrogation
then the google (Images)

Where dp I go to find such items on the internet?
I take it the instrustions are easy to follwo on both Gimp and JASC?

I'm NEW on the computer so don't know alot about it. Even cutting and pasting is NEW to me.

HELP
