Triceratops animation

A Triceratops I animated for my buddy Daniel Lenneers film "One Man Army: Legends". These are the shots from the film and the original blue screen animation. In the first animated sequence something went seriously wrong and my hands showed up on the film.

@JesseRex1 Well, thanks! Practice makes everything good. Just keep doing it and you can't help but getting better and better.

Nicely done, I liked.

@Godzilla5alien Yep, 25 frames per sec. The dino puppet has a plastic skeleton with joints made out of braided aluminum wire. This is then covered with pieces of glued-on foam rubber (for muscles) and pieces of latex skin cast in plaster molds. I used After Effects with Keylight to make the finished composition.

@rikmills Thanks! Old uncle Ray is a big influence; Yes. You just can't get around him. Even if his dinosaurs don't behave naturalistically you feel that's the way they ought to have behaved.

How many frames do you do per second? i heard ray does 25 per second? and how did you make the dino puppet? did you use adobe after effects for the bluescreen thing?
