I've decide to have a go at doing an animation involving a walking character like Howl's Moving Castle from Studio Ghibli's film... Howl's Moving Castle.

I figure if i parent separate animations to a larger drawing, I could get a really dynamic animation that way!

'Round of applause'

playing around with this animation i rotascoped. using sliding pictures and things

Franz Ferdinand - Take me out

Just got reminded of this on a music channel. it's the sort of style i want to go with. the shaky collage effect, but with metal textures and a bit of a darker slower pace to match the music.

Upload time

RIGHT THEN, now i know how to upload so i get get a couple of my animation experiments on the screen!

lets start with the first thing i did. I still have an abundance to electrical tape from the first project we did at Uni...



This kind of stop motion, for a smooth nice animation, really needs to be in a studio with a nice clean constant light, not with the light from an overcast day like me!
