I tried making animated avatars a while ago, but without much success (see below) and mainly due to the lack of decent film clips. So I gave it up. Yesterday I stumbled on literally hundreds of movie clips from various films, including LOTR. Where did I find all this? On my own computer! My sneaky brother has been making them for years and he never even told me. So (after I strangled him) I began to sift through them and actually make something decent (well I think they are decent anyway).

P.S When he shows me how to make the clips I shall post a tutorial for y'all so hang in there folks.


First Attempts



Second Attempts

WOW! Those are great, J'sF! I especially love the Wraith one - the framing is excellent

I agree the wraith one rocks! I love that one the most it just stood out to me.

Thank you Arwen. I think the Wraith one is my favourite as well.

P.S You can call me JF, it's easier than J'sF.


Thanks Eldárwen.


Heh, that's the longest one there Mrs.Gamgee. It has 150 seperate images I believe and it took Imageshack ages to upload it.


Thankees Idril Falastári.


Aww..thanks Gil. I won't be posting the tutorial until next week (maybe tomorrow) so I hope you can hold on.


I know you have Haldir! I'm not sure how to do it myself yet, i think it's something to do with Imageready. Apparently it's really simple, but I think I'll let my brother do the LOTR clips - I'd just be here all year capping the entire film otherwise.


Thanks Lady Dark Moon. The first ones I did don't look quite right. The clips stand out too much. The Frodo clip is in the shape of the Lothlorien brooch.

oO I just noticed the frodo one too! the animation thingy is in the shape of a mallorn leaf!!

Lol, yeah. I think on of the main things about animated avatars is to try and disguise the fact it's a box. So I figured out how to make them into different shapes but actually they are still the same. Alll will be revealed.
