Character animation was made by me.
(I acted a little bit too, I'm the small laughter

)

Hi, I have been very busy working on a project about miners and yoga classes for them (yes, it looks that anything in Chile involves miners). My work is to make the animation "as funny as possible". It's great to receive orders like that

I will post the final video on a couple weeks. Meanwhile, please check the video here.

It's made at 15 frames per second. Rocks falling were quickly animated on AS7 using physics.

I particularly love the knee slapping!

I am reminded of my Asian lady friend's distinct hand over mouth laugh. There was also this kid can't sit still on a wooden bench, giving himself wood splinter in his rear, laughter. We all have some unique way of expressing laughter. Some less painful than others, that didn't require tweezers.

As usual, it's excellent !
I just found the little jump very fast on the second file, but i'm sure the final result will be completly hilarious

Thank you, gregino. To think that animation was particularly difficult, because there wasn't anything clear except the character should harm his hand, so I tested many different movements trying to get a convincing and understandable effect. I think it will work better on the composed and sounded version, where they will add a hit sound and maybe some intensity lines around the hand on a couple frames.

Hehe, now you have to add that's my head on the laughing character.

I have another take, where the character is asleep. The animation is very cliche and the character's head is very frankenstein kind, made with several pictures from different people.

Ha. That's a great use of image warping and switches. The effect is very smooth.

Great! It is very funny and the animation has a smooth quality that's hard to see in other similar videos!
