Experimenting

As production for Advice From a Stranger goes on, I want the animation to be life like and less cartoony or such. I have done some tests (almost all fight ones are inspired by Grace) and hopefully should get better at lifelike animation in the future. Please critique at will so I can get better. :)

Nice job man. I think you need a new camera, though. What are you using?

Animation was very good.

@justkiddenanim8ion At the moment I am using A Quickcam Pro 4000 and a Panasonic HDC SD1 with an A/V to USB converter. Both only give 640x480 quality though so in some time I will hopefully get a 9000 and thanks :D

Very cool. Although some of them seem a little slow and exaggerated (punches the guy a foot off the ground) to be realistic. Don't sacrifice speed for realism, realism involves speed sometimes! Good luck!

[VIMStudios]

@UniLego Yeah I do agree some were a bit slower, as this is far from perfect. Practicing and looking at reference videos in quicktime frame by frame should help me.

I have no idea what that was, but it was awesome :)
