Funny animated clip

Here's a short animation I created to work on shadows and an all around more professional looking animation.

Part of the final sequence to the film I've been working on

Well it's just about 100% done. I've finished my animating, now my brother is doing what he does best and is cutting out some of the fat and adding background sound and beginning and ending titles.
The project for those that don't know, (which I'm assuming is most) is an education film to teach kids with aspergers how to interpret facial expressions and body language.
I've learned a Ton on the project, but now it's done and it's onto the next one... Which I don't have, so I guess it's job hunting time again.
Happy Animating, and God Bless

Practice Lip Sync Animation

I stopped my last animation because I was doing some more research and I got some great tips from The Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams and thought it best if I just started over with this new audio. I think it turned out pretty good. Any critics or suggests are appreciated

Blessings and Happy Animating

Another Animation Practice

I have been playing a lot of Uncharted 2 lately, and in that game your character has really good climbing animations/mechanics. So out of seeing those I was inspired to create this.

11 Second Club Animation

I did this as an assignment for my advanced animation class and Aprils 11 second club as well. I unfortunately wasn't able to get it into the competition in time so it is now just another animation that I've done.

Easter dress twirl

I was inspired to do this animation by a little girl that I saw while I was walking around a mall. She was dancing around in her dress and I thought she had such great character and motion that it would make for some great animation practice.

Simple Animation Practice

The above animation I out of inspiration by a blog that I came across a while ago; which I can no longer find. The idea is to do a simple 2d animation within an hour or so to work your skills and get better and better. This one being my first one, plus trying to do a lot of tricky perspective and camera movement took me maybe two hours. Overall I am pleased with it. It definitely hasn't been gone through with a fine tooth comb, but any suggestions or critiques are welcome!

Thanks, and happy animating
