Holy shit mano. That sucks. Contacts are soooo comfortable. After about 10 mins I stopped noticing the slight difference in my eye. Could not feel them at all. But definitely get glasses AND contacts. You wont be able to wear your contacts all the time for health reasons. They told me max was twelve hours and a normal wake period for us is like 16-18
Nice. Pretty good. He forgot about video safe black though. Thats why it gets all funky with the black vector lines sometimes and really dark spots.
I'm doing this all in Photoshop, Premier, and Aftereffects. I'll use flash as like a casing so to speak. Have it contain the animation but only take care of menus for scene select, play pause stop skip etc. I doubt each chapter is going to need much in scene select though. I'm not sure how long each ep is going to be yet. Depends on what comes out of the pilot episode.
It truly is Gary. :) Cell shading, gradients, layers. I love layers. I think the hardest part will be special effects like covenant mining beams from their ships. Thats gonna be interesting. I think I'll be fine on the rest of it. I already have the technique worked out.
