Mr Gangfield flashed Theodore a sly smirk. “Do you believe in ghost stories, Mr Wythert?”
“Only the interesting ones,” Theodore joked.

Hey, guys!

So here's the first official rough animation for the Valiard animated trailer. I won't start posting tons of GIFs any time soon, but I thought that the first one is special enough to share.

I've envisioned this gesture of Theodore's since the day I wrote this line of dialogue. I just knew I wanted him to swiftly look around to check the other people's reactions to Gangfield's question. Theodore's a terribly sarcastic and self-conscious person, so to finally get the chance to show it through his performance is a real treat.

This still needs a ton of ironing out, but my plan is to get everything roughly worked out first, so it won't be pretty for a long time.

Big thanks to everyone who gave their input on my last Theodore animation. I never went back to fix the old animation, but I applied everyone's advice in the new one.

To anyone who's about to ask, I sketched the keyframes on paper, scanned them in and added the inbetweens in Photoshop. It runs at 24 fps, mostly animated on twos. (Sorry, a ton of people always end up asking me about this.)
