Hi Animotion,<br>
it will be gr8 if ya post the procedure of ur animation done. like u
acted out urself or sketched out thumbnails or whatever way you took
for this... <br>
This is a good try.. id like to say the following things...<br>
<br>
1) WALK - Its slow dude... pretty slow and the biggest mistake - the
hand and leg sould move alternative, left leg and right hand should
move together with a bit offset.<br>
<br>
2) Walk lacks weight, try giving some up down body movement as he keeps his feet down.<br>
<br>
3) Give some holds to the poses so that they get clear to convey ur
message. It seems to be floating now and before the viewer understands
the pose, it passes by.. itll help make your movements faster too.<br>
<br>
4) Make the blink faster. 6 frames will be more than enough. Make the look at move faster and in between the blinks.<br>
<br>
5) Give some in-betweens to make the movements of head specially to make them follow an arc....<br>
<br>
This is wht i can comment now... goodluck n Happy Animating. Do let me
know surely if any my comments seems not to be working... thnx<br>

<P>hi abhishek,</P>
<P>this time I stayed with the first idea that came in my mind when listening the clip, for the walking character I acted out all the things shown,</P>
<P>and ya, the walk is slow but when I acted out it[with stopwatch] I figured out it to be a 1sec step walk.</P>
<P>the businessman character was actually rude when I started, but suddenly he started looking dumb and funny, so there he is.</P>
<P>I enjoyed making that clip, because of more movement and acting , I wrote some MEL scripts to make things working fast so I can concentrate on the flow of acting, </P>
<P>thats it.</P>
<P>thanks for crits, bye.</P>

<P>K firstly the concepts not quite clear dude....maybe coz the other character iznt gettin established dat well...</P>
<P>Then&nbsp;another thing that i notice&nbsp;are&nbsp;the hand gestures...they look pretty floaty rite now...they need sum hold 2 establish the poses...n oh yeah offest the timing of the hands a bit...rite now both the hands move at the same time....</P>
<P>N as abhishek says the walkz pretty darn slow...n oh yeah the hands seem 2 be movin simultaneously with the same foot! Geez! <IMG src="smileys/smiley3.gif" border="0">&nbsp;Get some reference or sumthin like The Survival Kit or Preston Blair n check out the walks in them...u ll get an idea thru that.</P>
<P>Umm if hes supposed 2 be talkin 2 the audience then make him look 2wards the cam when hes walkin...rite now it iznt quite gettin registered bout whom hes really speakin 2 until he stops ...</P>
<P>Yup datz it basically itz the timing...jus get dat rite....!</P>
