Description Careful! This has sound in it!

This was the final project for my largely useless 2D animation class. Just a very simple walk cycle, pose, and lip sync. The voice was provided by a friend-of-a-friend, only because I insisted on having a female voice actor.

If you're unaware: Xephalia is a martian, and she appears in my alternate comic, At the Heart of it All.

yay, animations too!

let's see...

Lip sync

looks good!

Pose

It's great! although the character changes size (by a bit) at the end of the turn.

also, his left arm lowers too soon...

Walking

- the walking looks a bit too rigid...
- I think it needs just a little tiny bit of head bouncing, but that is just me.
-it's interesting that the tail, ears and antennas are moving... but not the scarf...
-having both feet on the same level can be confusing, it makes it hard to determinate which foot is which

but it still looks like walking!

Sooooo...

Since this was just for a class... we shouldn't keep our hopes up for a Concession animation?

(I'm amazed no one used that emoticon yet. However, I'm also not surprised, because I can't believe I just did.)

Wow! The lip sync is right on the spot and the animation is pretty much flawless Nice work! I'd completely fail at the 'ose' one, how do you go from side view to front, to side without making it all... ... Y'know, skewed.

SonOfNothing In reply to Otterbane [2009-05-15 13:47:27 +0000 UTC]

...Practice?
I had to do a couple of turnarounds before this, so I had time to figure things out. It's nothing that can be explained, really.

"No I will not anally probe you!"
Aww...I was looking forward to that.

Ahem. The pose and lip-sync were pretty awesome. His expression could have been a bit more intense and in motion during the lip-sync. But it's a lip-sync. Not a facial animation test.

The walk cycle however...Was a little less. Seemed just slightly too fast and slightly too slidey. Remember that when you walk your knees bend just a little more than you show here, and your whole body bobs up and down during the process, basically your head does "The Wave".

LARGELY useless! Great way to put it. Thank the gods that's over. And this still kicks ass. I don't see what her problem was. o_O

I think she was just angry that she heard the words "anally probe".
