How To Animate Two Actors Using Xtranormal
In my previous article, I showed you how to use the free online Xtranormal animation program using one actor.
Today’s video tutorial will show you how to create an animated movie using two actors. I have also included a video of the completed movie showing you what was created in the video tutorial.
The online xtranormal animation application is really easy to learn and use. Here is the end result of the video tutorial, to give you an example of what can be done.
Captain Broccoli Saves The Day – Completed Movie
I know the comedy of the story is a little quirky, but it shows you what can be done using the xranormal online animation application.
Captain Broccoli Saves The Day – Tutorial
I have created a video tutorial showing you how to create a movie with two actors. This video can be viewed in HD (1280×72) if you want to see the bigger picture.
Rather than have Captian Broccoli stand on his soap box bragging about his achievements in protecting the world from baddies, I thought it would be better for two actors to interact with each other. It adds a new perspective to the movie.
Having two actors in your scene, adds a little more complexity in the technical side of making a movie, such as:
- Choosing location
- Changing camera angles
- Directing the actors to use gestures to animate the actor
- Building a conversation between the actors
As you can see from the video tutorial, xtranormal’s ‘if you can type you can make a movie’ philosopy is true and yes it is easy to make animated movies.
The next article will show you how to download the xtranormal State offline animation program and install it on your computer. State gives you more control making your anitated movie and it is really easy to use.
