I can see those graphics in a game...
And if you want to know how to make comedy without dialogue, think of Gromit in Wallace & Gromit. And silent movies.

yea, i don't have a clue about games though, so maybe if i team up with a programmer after this movie. and yes, i forgot about Gromit, i used to watch them so much as a child :D
wow! i love the art style. it's so simple and yet, it looks amazing! the music is really nice, too. its minimalistic sound really goes well with this equally minimalistic piece. i also love the color schemes for each different area.
the trees look really nifty, too.
overall, pretty much frigging brilliant.
regarding the story, just look to the Another Day series. that doesn't have dialog, right? try using thought bubbles. or, right off the bat, show the viewer the story. like, someone steals his cake (which, in this case, is certainly NOT a lie) and this shows his quest to get it back.
also - please, please, PLEASE don't use that cake idea
Exactly what i was aiming, for, thanks :D and i was actually thinking of using the cake idea until i read the last part :D lol, but yea, thanks for the help.
oh, and by the way, the car looks groovy.
can you send that font you use to my email? it's clan2kroolz[at]gmail[dot]com.
kthx.
k, thanks, the next scene that isn't included here looks a bit better with the car :) it's got some bridges that it goes under with some nice 3D ish effects. ^^ and i will send the font now.
hmmm, i found this very compelling,
i think you should use tiny illistrations over their heads to show what they are saying...
like a tiny animation, but in a style completely seperate from the rest of the cartoon....
just thinking on it now, you could have a really rough looking drawing over their heads ...
like a tiny scrap of paper would be the bubble for the animation and youd have the animation with scratchy looking stick figures on the scrap illistrating what they are saying...
i could show you what im talking about if your interested...
another idea is you could just use face motions to signify things.. its a bit of tweaking, but you can make a simple motion mean anything and if done right, everyone will understand exactly what you are trying to say!
one last idea, is instead of having the actual characters talk, you could narrate the whole thing.... the music and feel of the whole thing sounds like a narration kind of story... and when you want the characters to talk, just use the narrators voice, like its part of the story...
pm me if you like, im not very busy :P
thanks for the help, i like the sound of the first idea, of having a sort of scribbly drawing showing what they think, and i am planning on using facial animations too. However, i think if i find a very simple story that's entertaining, the story could be shown through actions without any aid. Apart from facial animations. Thanks again.
I don't think the voices spoil the atmosphere at all, helps make it cheery. The car bit is a bit unexciting, but if you work at it you can make it better. I have no idea what the stroy is about and thats where I think it falls short at the moment. Try and express it a bit more.
that's the point, i have no story! I need one :S
Cool, I like the atmospheric affect. I think for a story you should make a evil blob that turns everything black and gray using a evil machine and then the to main characters will go and save the world by ummmm... you know ummm... saving the world. Then everything will be happy again. Ya, also nice music. I finally got sound on my computer so YES!
The car looks fine, but the weird creature in that scene on the background looks weird, i would delete him.
Looking forward to the final animation.
Good luck :)
i loved it sooooo much

You are using sigur ros. The best band in the world. HI 5!!!
I think your right about the no dialog thing but, to make it easier you should story board ahead. make sure you know where youre going.
Pm me when its finished.

I am indeed, i thought Sigur Ros would fit nicely :D i want to plan ahead and make a story, but how can i make a good story without dialogue, that's the problem. I will pm you :)
