EDIT* okay i finished editting it, it's much faster now, has alot more pace, i also removed ALL the boring and unneccessary parts, thus cutting the whole thing down by about a minute and a half. Only took 2 extra days -_-, flash kept crapping out on me so i kept having to restart flash, or even sometimes restart my pc...frustrating as hell......... I've decided i'll re-release it earlier tomorrow, around 2-3ish england time :s

UPDATE: okay i'm removing the animation, it has a ridiculously low score (3.20) for the amount of work i put into it, i might try editing it based on what people didn't like about it, making it faster etc, dunno how long it might take or when it will be done....-_-

UPDATE; okay i just released it only 4 DAYS LATE YAY, or ..well...9 if you count my original target...but eh..yeeeeaaahh....:| The actionscript is a bit of a mess, but it was my first time and i did my best, so there are a few bugs here and there :S like subtitles appearing every new scene so you have to press the off button again, i spent 10 hours, (all today and half of yesterday) trying to fix it soooo....oh well, one day maybe i'll work it out
i hope it does well...it's the hardest i've ever worked on an animation, especially in the last 2 weeks!

[UPDATE 3 24/08/09] Okay so this'll probably be the last update till the release. i have finished all the lip syncing for each character now, aswell as having coloured one...so that just leaves 1 and 1/4 charecters to colour, with the backgrounds ontop of that, i'll be finished tomorrow, no doubt...
It couldn't come sooner as my neck has really started to ache in the last few days and i SWEAR i am seeing AND hearing things that aren't there...like all to frequently..:S
anyhow...even thoughbi will 'finish' it tomorrow, you shouldn't expecr it until the day after since i'd really like to include a scene selection optiin and possibky some subtitles? i'm not sure how much trouble thats gonna be scripting...

[UPDATE 21/08/09] all the characters are finished in their final lining now and i just finished the arm animation too, so that leaves just the lip syncing, partial colouring and backgrounds to do...WOO! :S
the backgrounds and colouring i could do in one day, but the lip sync..well im not too sure how long it may take :( BUT i'm still sorta on track for the 25th ;)
P.S. i'm REALLY happy with this episode, especially the last two scenes, they've turned out well :)
PPS, i really think im gonna need to request an upload limit expansion...:S (thing is, i don't remember how to do that...)

[UPDATE 17/08/09] i have edited and compiled the audio, it sounds like...the BEST thing i've ever made!!! but it's long so i had to split the last scene into 2 parts, and just now at this very minute of typing, i have finished animating the roughs for both parts, it took a while, what with the storyboarding and such. BUT, tomorrow i begin the final outlines of each character!
let's hope i can finish this before the 25th...(apparently the date i started it last year...)

Catfat episode 2 / 1..:S has been in production for nearly a year now...:( having started it sometime august last year.. but alas it's completion draws nearer, i have today just completed the 3rd scene, that means there's only ONE more to go!!! AND that has already been recorded!! (something that tends to hold me back alot). SO tonight i am gonna be sifting through all the recorded material and hopefully produce the final cut ready for tomorrow. I expect or, better put, intend to finish the animation within the week..let us pray that happens :|

aaaaaand in other news i just earnt my first 2 cents!!! BOOYAHH!! (i have no idea how though...:S )
anyway
here's a screen shot of scene 3 ;)
