Hello I'm making a series of short animations based on a cartoon character who does not realize he is one.

He is in doubt though, since objects arround him don't obay the rules of normal life.

In this clip (http://www.unlikely.nl/andrew/unlPhone_sm.mov) he is having a telephone conversation.
I would appriciate it if you would all have a look and help me out with weirdnesses and other issues. Basically everything I fail to notice being within production.
The animation almost solely consists of one camera angle and I'm wondering whether I should really change angles once in a while or whether the one (it's actually two, I know) shot benefits the storyline.

Hoping for your comments,

Corny

Ps: shadows on floor and wall have no been rendered yet and also the background isn't finished.

Hey UnlikelyCorny,

I really like the style you're using. As far as animation is concerned, he really needs some movement in his shoulders to loosen him up a little. Also, at the 41 second mark, his left arm seems to lose focus. Overall, the left arm and hand could use some polish. I guess with this piece, you need to ponder how confused you would be if your phone unexpectedly started jumping all over the place when ringing. Would you feel comfortable using that phone? Even a laid back person might at least pick the phone up and examine it a little while using it.


I look forward to seeing more.
