A New LBT Mini Movie!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. To create an entirely new LBT movie from nothing but existing parts in the LBT movies we have so far. It looks like it may go pretty well. It is extremely difficult though. Now remember, this is a first attempt, and with an extremely difficult background (I'll definently design a better one next time) It is far from perfect, but I think it's a step in the right direction. It is a plan for a future LBT project of mine. I think it'll go very well. Now, I will probably need some help on this. The 5 second video you're about to see took around 20 minutes to make. At that rate, I'll be dead before I can make a 30 minute LBT mini movie

Anyways, here's the movie. I think you can download it. It's only 300k

This is a first attempt and is therefore sloppy, but I can make it work out just fine.

The frame rate looks really low. Is this normal?

No, but I can change it to any rate I wish to. I just wanted to be able to view it long enough for it not to be just a flash on the screen

It looks bigger then my screen, or is that normal, even on full screen?

Well, I did design it on my wide screen monitor so I guess it could effect the normal aspect ratio. Try changing your aspect ratio to either 5:4 or 16:9.

Guess I have to download tempenc to reencode it to do that.

In any decent media player, you can just tell it to display things in a different aspect ratio. Media player classic and VLC will do it without having to do anything like recode it.

Hello:
You are doing great, and I can understand it can be very hard to do. Keep it up!

Got it to play, it seems certain areas move a bit independent of the rest of the video. Though it may be normal with the text appearing.

The whole text thing may make this more appropiate as a webcomic, unless you can string a decent frame-rate animation together.

I can do this, but I need to be more organized first. I didn't exactly do this the right way, which is why I need to try harder next time. And.....a better background is essential. That one is insane! One pixel movement makes it look like the thing is sliding across the screen. I was just testing it out mostly. I didn't spend as much time making the background as I should have.

It's important to test things to learn how to do, and not do, things.
