Boxhead Dancing Person Guy Cartoon

So, I got Anime Studio. I can make cartoons
with it! Or---I guess, I could, if I were to
practice a little more. :)

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.

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!

Ha! That is out of control! Good job. :D

Thanks a lot, Rocky. I thought of your blinking gal when I made it.

[breathead]

Thanks, MG!

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.)

Very cool...

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