Push Pull Animation

[algildea]

wonderful animation - anticipation, thought processes, story development, weight, beautiful timing - just top class!

[RunningPostosuchus]

so CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!

[TheTelenation]

Wait . . I know this youtube name! Your the Dr- Whooves animator!

You epic Boss!!

[CookieFridays]

It's awesome. But I noticed, the chest seems to twitch/open a little before the character actually touches it with the stick.

[wolflover1230]

haha! My names meghan! And its spelled the same way that yours is!! That's funny right there, you dont see that alot, mainly just Megan

[daisy7indistress]

cool !! Its really very good !!! d animation is so good n Marco is so cute !!! B"3

All the best for future :)

[Tuss36]

Very good. The only thing I see a bit bad is when he goes from the chest to the stick. The movement is too quick and a little stuttery, like there's frames missing.

[slugbiter]

Lol it's voiced by a cat!

[Kablinx]

Haha! I <3 the ending! :D Most people don't watch 2 the end of films so they think they're boring :/

[MsBannaphone]

Holy bug in a pizza box! That was amazing!

[shardinea]

Oh my... that totally sucks for the lizard. Nice animation though :)

[Groth1175]

I will use this as an example of how good CG can be!

[Groth1175]

This is a great example of good cg!

[DraGramis]

Dude, how was this never #1? Its better than alot of professional ones ive seen.

[ForgottenDreamzy]

That's pro

And Marco is adorkable-3

[d314152]

Well created! Looks awesome.

Poor Marco.

[RebelSkiichan]

This is actually really clever! I like how you incorporated different aspects of pushing and pulling, rather than the stereotypical pushing open a door or tugging something away from another. Really nice job! ^__

[TheRainstar13]

wasn't one of the rules it coulnd't have a mouth?

[spiritpup]

@TheRainstar13 Unless they've changed the rules (I doubt it), then it has to have a mouth.

[twilightprincess640]

[DaChristian101]

[reneecliche]

This is absolutely amazing.

[LoriannZWeaver]

"6 years now (started when I was 14" haha sorry i didnt read that.

[LoriannZWeaver]

spiritpup if you dont mind sharing i would really liek to know how old you where when you first got into 3d and how old you where when you made this animation.

im wondering because when i was 14 i used 3dsmax for awhile and got quite good. and now im 16 and wondering if i should start again.

[spiritpup]

@LoriannZWeaver  Well I first got into 3D a little over a year ago (I was 19), and this animation was made over a period of two months. I finished it in November of 2010. But I started with traditional animation about 6 years ago.

[ThunderDrakos]

Nicely done on the facial expressions

[k95j]

Nicely animated I this is done in Maya isn't it?

[MrBlackpantha]

aw hes cute :] I wanna see more of him 

[Finchwing]

WOAHHH that's amazing!! O_O congrats on the email from Dreamworks! 8D

[leadmare56]

DAWMAIGAWSH HE'S ADORABLE!!!! :D

[tessco12]

four words, this-is-so-AWSOME!

[mavoelker]

i thought it was gonna smash its head in there o_o

[goldendraco13]

DAW HE IS SO CUTE! ^ - ^

this is so well made - wish i could animate...

[Titanosaurus45]

you should do somthin else wit this little guy hes cute

[CatRBailey]

I love your expressions! I want so badly to get into Ringling. This is really inspiring work. Must have taken a LONG time to do. Very entertaining!

[Hortensie]

This is amazing. :O The character is really cute. ^^

[Mobey115]

adorable

[Wolfyzheart]

What did you use to animate this? I have interests in perhapes starting to animate things.

[spiritpup]

@Wolfyzheart Thanks! I used Maya to animate it, but I really suggest starting with hand-drawn animating if you've never done it before. Jumping straight into 3D animating without a background in hand-drawn is a bad idea.

[JayKaiLol]

This is amazing!! :D how long have you been animating? :3

[spiritpup]

@JayKaiLol Thanks! I've been animating for about 6 years now (started when I was 14).

[Shroudheart61]

that is adorable! You have great work. ^ ^ And, lols, I love that little species-confused reptile, Marco! >w<

[Silver101Wolf]

did u use like a lion purring sound effect or something XD best animation ever! hehe

[spiritpup]

@Silver101Wolf Not a lion, a normal cat. xD

[TesseriShira]

Incredible! Well, I hope to see more, especially if you ever work for Pixar. And I hope to see you there, cuz working for pixar is a dream of mine.

[nightbanewolf]

so good, by the way, what grade did you get? I bet you got the highest

[midnightlupus]

That is possibly the best animation I've ever seen :) is that a dragon of some kind?

[spiritpup]

@midnightlupus I honestly don't know what he is, and neither does he. His mom might have been a dragon and his dad could've been a lizard... or not. I don't know. xD

[SILENTEYESWolfSeries]

sometimes this stuff hapens. XD

[HechEff]

@spiritpup Well the writers of Animaniacs got away with not knowing what the main characters are, so why not?

[BloodThirstWolf]

This was so cute! 8D You did a wonderful job! It feels like this was a short for a Dreamworks movie :)

[gumi124]

AWESome!!!

[wolfheart133333]

do you work for pixar or somethin? cause that is awsome!

[spiritpup]

@wolfheart133333 Haha, nooooo I don't work for Pixar (but I'm flattered that you think I'm good enough!). I'm hoping to intern for them this summer though! And hopefully from there I can get a job animating.

[wolfheart133333]

@spiritpup hope u get a job!

i thought it was rly creative how u uaed the dragon creature's crest to show it's emotion along with the facial!

brilliant work!

[Wolfyzheart]

ABESOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!

[deomew]

kewl!

[lilredfox16]

amazing animation very smooth great job!!! *favs*

[AniyuuWolf]

So smooth, I bet you could work for pixar in a snap!

[imissrose123]

that was amazing! :O

[TigerDragon1001]

And also can you make more videos with this 'Marco' of yours? He's awesome and so is your video! The whole thing just flows so well.

[spiritpup]

@TigerDragon1001 Thanks! I'm actually working on another video with him right now. :) It basically consists of the same thing (trying to get inside the chest), but it's more exaggerated with his movements.

[Kingofshmoeland82]

@spiritpup I saw the animation you did with the dogs on DA and i thought it was really good each time i see your DA page i see another awesome pic or animation or story How do you do it?

[Fr0stDog]

When it said, "Push Pull" I thought of it just doing that. :3

Thinkin' outside the box, Spiritpup! :D

[NoreyDragon]

Oooh wow!!! This is absolutely amazing!! And so smooth... <3

Great job!

[Irukapooka]

So freakin' cute! I can't believe that you only finished this in 2 months! I thought it would have at least been 6 months to create something like that with such an amazingly detailed character.

[Wolfmutt123]

XD LOL! The ending was funny and cute!!

[HeartofRomance]

That was great sound effects and all!

[saradavinci1995]

OMG IT's so awesome!!!!

LOVE IT! :D :D

[TigerDragon1001]

Awesome! Cute lizard thing I like how he moes it looks almost real! :)

[TheMonthofMayo]

that is amazingly well done. i wonder what was in there that he was so eager to get...

[Murtagh42]

The audio excited my cat - I guess she thought it sounded like purring. LOL

[DevArtsHiei14]

@Murtagh42

Well that is cat meows and purrs. : ) 

[3Honeypaw]

How long did this take you? It's so good. :)

[mitzymoonina]

[jazziirawrr]

Great work spirit. (btw this is Leapingwolf from the old wolfquest forums ;D)

Marco is very adorable (:

[TheMrSugar]

poor little guy, but it was pretty funny though, nice job. :)

[MossfurMedicineCat]

i loved the ending you need t make a move or episodes of somehting you are great!

[RotitaYamaneko]

Oh wow, this was unexpected. Lovely follow-through animation, mostly on the cute little quills on the back of his head!

[chilliwolf]
