Drawing a manga character using inkscape.

While this video is not a tutorial per se, it provides a great insight into how a more complicated inkscape drawing is constructed. It is basically a step - by - step construction of all the objects in the drawing put into a neat little video. Below is a thumb of the finished product that can be viewed at the artist’s deviantart page.

The video (hosted on youtube) is embedded after the thumb, so you may not be able to view it if you are reading though an feed reader.

    He does it with ffmpeg

    from the comments at the top of the latest version of the script:

    ffmpeg -r 24 -b 4000 -aspect 1 \
    -i ‘movie/movie%04d.png’ \
    -i ’soundtrack.mp3′ \
    -f mpegvideo \
    -y ‘movie/movie.mpeg’

    Anything that can load filenames with serial numbers will work, but I use ffmpeg’s mpeg2 encoder.

    ffmpeg -r 24 -b 4000 -aspect 1 -i “movie%04d.png” -i soundtrack.mp3 -f mpegvideo -y movie.mpeg
