Monty Oum's earliest know animation, featuring his friends. Upscaled using Topaz Video Enhance AI Audio and Video from different sources. [Below is the original description by Monty posted on Gametrailers:] Posted: Dec 23, 2006 @ 04:39 AM In preparation for my newest animation to come forth I went ahead and converted my very first animation from a SWF to and video file.

This here movie is in fact my first time using flash, and is a video that can be found also in my gallery at deviantart alongside my artwork

www.montyoum.deviantart.com

This was a big experiment for as you see here my oringinal plans of "head pasting" still stands throughout the work.

It is a process where I in fact take rotating headshots of my friends at several angles and literally paste them onto the animated bodies where at this point I was in a tossup between using acutal footage and CG.

the result can be well found in the movie I submitted here a year ago

So watching this vid, the black guy as Player 2 my friend James is actually just his head pasted to none other than my Body.

Whereas Player one (Chinese guy) is my friend Gavin pasted onto a CG body.

Time will have proved that I ended up using cg as well as many rennovations of my workflow were to be made.

I think I've finnaly acheived a decent enough level though to tell the story I want to tell.

So as for the future goes, keep an eye out for more to come!
