wazo-bird anim

[CarlCampbell]

I love it! I think its excellent! THe movement is really bird-like, really jerky and sudden. The fur is excellent and the animation is perfect for the character. I see this reel of yours coming along nicely, can't wait for an update!

Definately, I think the frequency is fine, you just need to lower the speed a little bit.

Thats a tiny pumpkin you have there!
I was expecting for the noise to end more quickly, or the bird to react to it faster. After you see him squinting off into the distance, he has no reaction to the big crash sound. If its bad news, I think he should have a fright, as my sight was fixed on the bird and he remained frozen for quite a bit.
What I expected is that something/someone would burst out of the left side of the screen. The anticipation is a big one, I think the bird should show some emotion when the noise reaches its "climax", some sort of cartoonish bug-eyed-ness and the tongue coming out in a freaked out manner, that'd look just great IMO.

Excellent job though, you are one hell of an animator!

truly beautiful, sadly I have no crits for you.. maybe one.. and that's that you should make more and show us! I want to see how that character that scared the bird away looks like! :)

take care

Very nice indeed! Is this the logo animation for your company then? I think the pumpkin should decrease its spin much slower though.
A (mistake) you got there is that when the first bird runs off-scene the pumpkin warps to the left. Probably you need to align the two clips properly or make sure the pumpkin aligns in the right position for when the seconds bird passes by.
The smoke/dust looks much better now also, but it still needs to look less spherical IMO.

lol... very good indeed ;)

You have all the ingredients for a really killer piece... you just need to do a bit more.

The thing that gets me right now is the freezing. When the character stops, he can't totally stop, or it looks strange.

Stand up from your machine right now and try to hold completely still... you can't do it. Your body is constanly being pulled toward the ground and making tiny adjustments in balance to compensate.

I think the timing of motion in the run, look, etc is spot on. You just need to fix the locking off issue... and send your reel to Icepond when it's done.
