Hi there,

I have almost finished a new demo piece and was hoping to get a little feed back on it before I render and put the final on my reel for Siggraph.

I think i am a bit torn between trying to make it realistic or cartoony...I think its done, but is it not snappy enough? http://forums.awn.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Any advice?

**WARNING: rough language, rap lyrics. ( I hope that its ok to post, srry otherwise!! )

(6.6mb Quicktime)

The music is by Slum Village.

Here is a still from the animation:

Staging, upper body and facial animation is nice. The only thing you should take care is the lower body, make it move like the rap singers do! make it walk from one side of the stage to the other. Right now its nailed right there, no pelvis or legs movement...

Keep it up!
