My new video is finished (you can watch it here). This one was mostly about drawing, I didn´t do much computer stuff. I just drew the frames, scanned them, edited the pictures to the right size (1280x720) and played them. I was drawing chronologically, and I didn´t have a plan for timing. I think it´s visible in the video, because it may be a little bit slow. So, I will give more time to planning next time.

The video consists of 29 pictures and each one is shown for 0.06 seconds, which may be a strange number. It´s approximately 18 frames per second. I have tried different timing (12 fps and 24 fps) but this one looked most natural.

I´m not sure why, but when I tested the video by taking pictures of the raw frames (only pencil and all messy, no details) it looked better than now, when I inked it, and added the details. First think I do is drawing all the frames with a pencil (a very soft 6B, next time I plan to try 8B) and then inking it with a black pencil, to make it more visible after scanning. And I think that´s it, most of the description of what I did and how I did it is in the part I post.

Now I can go prepare the next Shaolin Bishop video where I will try another "tip to learn animation".
