If you want, you can privately send us the file so we can inspect and try to fix it.

Cheers sir, but there’s no need to. It was just a quick experiment while building up the scene, and Is the only thing that got messed up, and, as is, has moved on an evolved considerably since the other night.
along with the start of character studies.
Once I’ve finished a couple more bits, I’ll share the base scene for the bridge, character sheets and more on a separate thread to help show my process, and, in ways, share some of my production experiences through it.
Thanks for the offer of help… hope what I’m doing here will also help u guys at some point

indeed! …
just playing with silhouettes there… evolving the characters using simple shapes and build upon them while keeping in mind what software you’re using to animated through… so so all creative, concpets, explorations, sketches and studies are through synfig.
A lot more character studies to come…
Quick test using @veermetri05 controller plugin
Intend to heavily use the plugin for this for various scene elements as well as character control.

It’s been a while… but it’s always fun to return to synfig… it’s like a mind cleanser to the usual shtick I have to do on a daily basis…
Really wanted to participate in the monthly challenges, in fact I did start with the raindrop, and had a nice twist to the 15 second story arc, but time was the problem.
Anyhow, here’s a quick, one day looper.

Quick recreation of the Auto-Batarang HUD from Batman Returns for the actual prop from the movie, as the footage that was used sadly has been lost to time.
Sequence with no effects for the Sony Watchman screen :

Sequence with CRT/VHS effect with the audio from the scene….
even after rendering out at 2k res, youtube compression still messed with the sequence.

Selecting manually 1080p or 1440p, it looks a lot better that with the default 360p it proposed me!
I almost forgot that it existed

It’s strange how their compression picks up on the scanline aberration caused by the curve of the CRT shader.. even at 2k res… while here even at 640x480 lossless then passed through handbrake, it just looks perfect. The actual final output for the Watchman is interlaced NTSC/PAL (no CRT effect).
A little test render of a character rig I was intending to use for the first synfig challenge back in January ’25.. Sadly came to it too late and other commitments got in the way.
It’s one I intend to complete, as part of my winter “things to distract myself with”, and share once done.
