First, I made a drawing with vector stuff: ellipses and a rectangle. Then a bone layer was tied to the vector layer. By adjusting the bones, I tied them to the limbs in the vector layer. Then I could move the limbs of Boxhead Dancing Guy.
Next, I used an image from an earlier video instead of the vector layer and added bones to that. I created similar movements to mimic the Boxhead Dancing Guy. Voila!
Neat

Thanks! I am still feeling out the program.

So, your box-headed man, are his movements coming from a computerized interpretation of footage of you moving?

Unfortunately, it's not that cool.

That looks like such fun - I'm jealous! Can't wait for your next creative cartoon!

It's pretty fun, yes. A bit tricky at first, but
I find that my experience with "xfig", a vector
graphics drawing program for X Windows on
UNIX, helps a lot.
(Oh. And if you want to give Anime Studio a
whirl, it's $50 for the non-pro version that I
have.)

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to use
it yet, but as a music-oriented producer, I think I'll enjoy
having more on my video palette. :)
