I'm not offendend by your animation, but I think drug usage is very bad!
Sincerely I HATE drugs, in every way it can be used. I don't understand how the drugs can improve any situation... If you're in troble WHY you get more troubles with drugs?
The only "drug" I can suggest are chocolate! :D

P.S.
Sorry for the OT! :roll:

Haha, the squirrel one was great! :D
The animation isn't perfect but the timing and acting is very good I think. The squirrel expressions and poses brought out his character very well and I was hooked from start to finish.

I did lwaxana,

I am an amature beatboxer. I don't have any videos of me beat boxing yet, but it was fun to use my skills for that particular skit. I hope to do more soon. =)

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Wow, nice beat boxing! :D After watching the Squirrely episode, I spent all day yesterday trying to add some beat boxing samples to the theme song I'm working on! Not much luck with it so far. lol

I agree with AmigaMan. You have a knack for timing!

When they're swinging their arms around try adding some overlap on the arms so they have a bit more of a snap.

"Overlapping action implies that not everything happens at the same time.

Take the example of moving a character's arm from a position of rest to that of picking up a set of keys on a table. A common mistake would be to advance a few frames from the at-rest position, then move all of the arm elements (objects) to the final position. This technique would result in a very lifeless motion (because everything starts and stops moving at the same time). The proper sequence requires that the upper arm begins to rise first. Then the forearm pivots out, followed by the wrist bending back. Finally the fingers curl around the keys. Each of these motions begins before the preceding motion is complete, providing the realistic overlap that your viewer expects. In other words, the motion of the arm rotating upward is overlapped by the wrist bending back."

Hey thanks spoooze!

I appreciate the compliment and the advice very much ! and the link. I downloaded AS Pro so I have been learning everything by trial and error, so any advice or tips I can get really helps =P


I'm looking to make friends on here so If anyone needs beats or samples of any kind hit me up I would be glad to help. I produced music professionally for a few years so I know a thing or two about getting the sounds I want.

I working on the next few episodes already so I will have more material up soon. thanks again everyone this is a great community ^_^
