Lipsync "Whatever it is you have to say"

This was our midpoint assignment, a 3 second lipsync. This project taught me the value of simplicity in an animation. Yes, animations are supposed to be cartoons and cartoons are exaggerated but sometimes doing less creates more. I had a tough time doing this because for some reason my eyes evolved faster than my animations skills, and I could pick out mistakes but could not figure out how to fix them. It was really frustrating but that is how all art skills evolve, I guess.

Horse Trot

Hello. I know it has been a while since I last uploaded something. I've decided to wait to finish an animation instead of posting bits and pieces. This here is a horse trot using layered animation. While I would never recommend layered animation in a regular character act, this is perfect for animation cycles. Whenever you have a character that is walking or running or jumping, etc know that a layered animation gives you the control over every tiny detail and makes it look natural.
