Here is my critique

No one ever comments mine.

Yours was kinda simple, Needs to have a bit more happening to get that shirt on.

Here's mine:

I was going to inbetween this further, but I have to do some other stuff so I don't have time for this. Was a good practice though since I had to think a lot about the specific moves the guy had to make, as well as how the shirt fits on his body.

Sorry for the fairly simple character...I whipped this up in about half an hour..

My favorite so far. I thought it was well animated and kinda funny also, great job :)

Week 2: Heavy Shit

It's wed. and it can only mean one thing... that its wed. AND that its time for a new flash-off. This week your task is to animate your character trying move this giant block of heavy shit off the screen. The key to this excersize is showing struggle and weight of this seemingly harmless cube of 2 ton concrete. Your character doesnt have to be successful in the end but you have to convince your viewer of just how heavy it is (and no you cant animate him saying 'this is heavy.')

GOGOGOGO

That is really awesome. You did a real good job of keeping everything together. I just think it is a bit unnatural how the hood went directly on his head and didn't find itself on the dragon's neck. Whatever.

Cool stuff, i like how as he puts it on you have his mouth open from the opening tugging so hard on the top of his head. very subtle yet very effective.

Hello everyone. I would very much like to join in as I am bored with all the other work that I should be doing. Also, I'm a real fan of these threads!

Review: That was great Vincoid! as you said, it could have used a few more frames but I thought is was very realistic non the less... a part from his head flouting from his body but i understand that's your stylistic approach to your character so it's appropriate - it's not cool to always make everything look real otherwise you might as well film someone with a camera.

Awesome this one should really make everyone really exagerate the movements of the character, I'm excited to start working on this =)

Bout a 15 min quicky, probably do a WAY better one later, just home from work and too tired to put any effort, and i noticed his legs dont go back and forth properly, but right now...
I DONT CARE.

had a chance to get started a bit...

took about an hour.

thats pretty tight, it would probably add to the snapping, if you had the character hold when his arms are extended, and maybe had a loop of him shaking from the strain.

Nice one!
Now looking at yours, I think I messed up on mine, since I made the block 10 times bigger than
the guy.

oh well, heres what I got.
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/031208/7 2308_Heavy.php

Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time installing flash on my computer, so I'll have to do this on the horrible slow home computer.

Yeah, this took about an hour to do.
I don't know whether I should skin him, or at least outline him, but... I just want to practice anatomy and human movement really.
Even though this isn't real human movement, because I still wanted it to be slightly cartoony.

Enjoy :p

Work In Progress
This is my proper attempt at it, just outlined the basic idea, going to flesh it out in detail sooner or later, probably tonight as im off work.
Comments?

When the box is moving, one of the corners needs to keep still. Also when it reaches the top (right before it's about to tilt back over), slow it up. And then when it starts to tumble down on top of the poor guy, start to speed it up. Physics, woo!

Mmmkay, was gonna mess around with that anyway. Didnt think it looked right, just a soketchy version tho :)

Love these little weekly thingos, always fun trying to improve yourself with new challenges. A little disappointed i didn't catch this last week :( Ah well.

Here's my attempt at animating heavy shit.
Bam

Hrmmm...

The little guy swinging around as the weight heaves him is really nice.

I liked it as well.. My only suggestion would be to make the struggle reflect on his face.. itd be great to really get a visual clue as to how much effort it tkes to hold up that iron snowball..

the proportions are lovely.

I want to make a lot of shit and post it here but im not quite free at the mo.

catch you later

Back from school. Time for reviews!

I preferred the last one you posted. This seems more about the running sequence then actually moving the box. Plus I really liked the drawings of heavy things with in the box in the previous one, like the elephant's trunk. It's up to you mate.

Looks good so far Luis! Keep updated with how your doing - I like seeing the development in your movies.

I agree with ShirtTurtle. Very cute so far. I'm quite interested with how you improve the character - maybe you'll keep him/her like it is now but I think it would be a shame if you did. You could really add great stuff over what you've done so far.

It may be a week late but it deserves a review damn it! Yeas, very nice and smooth animation. I was surprised there was no colour - I always recognize your animations when you add bright happy colour. Otherwise the head popping out at the end was brilliantly funny.

Obviously there needs be character improvement (nobody likes stickmen - or do they?). Great idea! The arms falling off was a great touch. I would love to see the guy's facial expression when that happens. Oh shit! no arms?

I've been working on my movie since yesterday. Perhaps it will be up soon. or perhaps not.
