Ed's the man! Now he's expanded from clay to CGI! Is there anything this guy can't do?

I'm checking out your other stuff now dude.

[EgolandTed]

ah yeah, sorry about the other stuff.

Thanks J-mac

yeah, the "edge of the desert" bit is rubbish, i know. but i cant be bothered to go back and fix it now, im doing one more movie quote for practice, then maybe its time for a big project. :)

Dont hold your breath though, this stuff takes ages!

spectacularly awesome, ted :) even in a work in progress you use such an extraordinary and paradigm shifting bit of dialogue as that, one that a viewer such as myself would appreciate so much, as he does.

nice, crisp animation, and a few of the phonetics are spot on; 'drugs' 'hold'. watch it silent, he doesn't actually say the dialogue, but i can appreciate the difficulty of trying to lipsync pre existing dialogue accurately. the mouth is a complicated hole. bravo sir!

Thanks for the feedback CAS,

Yeah, its just a trial run. Working out the processes of animation before i start a real project.

stay tuned! ^o^

WOW your putting yourself down about some really cool stuff man!

[CloudAerisSephiroth]

absolutely, i'm not a blender vet or anything but from what i can see the rudimentary groundwork is in place, natural, fluid body language, a few of the words' lipsyncs nailed bang on, the rest of the lipsyncing not far off at all and clearly, from what you say, a realistic and simultaneously ambitious vision for a possible animated project.

i'll be waiting with bated breath ^_^
