Learnin' with Gramps: Rusty Trombone
Channel: Right Arm Productions
Date: 2012-01-12

Gramps wants to share a new word with you - Rusty Trombone.

I'm thinking of having Gramps do a series of videos where he reads from Urban Dictionary or other such places on the net. In the meantime, this is a snippet from On Target With Gramps.

Technical notes:
The cartoon animation was done in Toon Boom Studio 4.5
I used Adobe After Effects and Edited it together in Adobe Premiere.

This being a "pilot" episode, I had to create (or choose) everything other than Gramps. It took tons of time. Future episodes most likely wouldn't be more than three minutes. 

One mistake I made involved Toon Boom. I made one continuous clip that was more than 7500 frames (30 FPS). From now on, I'll be doing many small clips. For some reason, the program can't keep the lipsync going right after about the 1000 frames.  That makes it very difficult to add extraneous movements and have them be accurately placed.
