Hand drawn animation (The Body In Motion)

A Hand drawn animation short I did recently. 705 images required for this 3 min flick. this is my tribute to master animators like Richard Williams, Hayao Miyazaki, Akira Toriyama, Matt Groening and to the late Bruce Lee and Charlie Chaplin.

I just had it screened in front of some directors/producers at this Animation event (Wanimate's Show off Your Shorts) and they liked it, Impressed even. I am humbled by it. But the credit goes to Richard William's The Animation Survival Kit Book coz I studied everything from there.

gimme feedbacks, critiques, wateva. Hope you enjoy it. Been weeks working on this, a pain in the ass drawing all 700 images by yourself. but Hey, I finished it in time for the event (15/09/2011). so it's all worth it.

I used 'Lover's carvings' by Bibio for a soundtrack. it has this nostalgic feel to the tune, Great music.

I love this. what sort of soft ware did you use for capturing and compiling? 

[wukongzzz]

@Nertrender I just used Adobe After Effects cs4. I think if you do Hand drawn, whatever software is not really important. but I find After Effects and Toon boom to me my favorable software to transfer all of my drawings.

yeah, frame by frame hand drawn animation is time consuming, but to me it's worth the effort and time. thank's, glad it helps.
