# did you
add the black lines before or after you optimised?

# before
without them it topped 300KB even at that size... I could possibly lose more frames, but the heads get too jerky then

p.s. just seen bounceattack (linked below), loved both of these - hope there's more in the future!

# I think
the black lines might be fooling imageready into putting too much detail into the real lines - there are lots of specs showing up. I might be wrong though, I have a hunch the best way to do it is to squash the image, optimise it with lossy turned on a bit and then add the black lines and optimise again... maybe.

yeah, I'm practising drawing by hand, it's quite fun :)

# IR
doesn't remember how it optimised it on prior goes, unless I maybe saved it out as a gif first... hm, may experiment sometime.

mind you, a lot of those odd specks are artifacts from having lossy turned up to about 40 and the palette down to like 32 or something - oh, the perils of turning DVD-quality video into a board-sized animation!

# I know,
but it wouldn't matter, the first optimisation would smooth the colours, the second would do nothing.

then again, you could always get rid of the black lines, squash the image and then use the height tag to stretch it when you post... I don't know, wooyays used to be much simpler ;)

# or just make them nod fewer times?
or is that too simple?

# hm...
will have to see how the frames match up...

# :P
I try not to use size tags 'cause they can slow things down for a lot of people... I do have simpler woos, it's just this one fitted in so well - the amerib3tans would get it more though. ;)
