I think the characters are appealing, really well designed and well rigged. Each one demonstrates features of the software that reward careful study, and are tutorials in their own right. They also show that AS10 is not limited to a particular style or "look". One thing I would add to them...

That looks terrific, with some very nice animation and design.

Great to know that Anime Studio is being used for a series. I'd also be very interested in working on that.

These are wonderful! What a great use of image layers.

Really good, full of nice touches and I also like the designs a lot.

I get what you're saying, Steve (exile), but you only have to watch the film to see where his heart lies, and I may be mistaken, but I think Nicholas himself would have to agree it is not the characters that excited him. That's nothing to do with the characters being generic, or symbolic - that does...

I find the characters to be the weakest link in the film - their basic design and rather stilted movements seem almost like an afterthought - but what is going on behind them is absolutely amazing. The level of detail is staggering, the backgrounds and graphics, the subtle, understated colours, and ...

The appeal of 2D is that the artist chooses what to show and how to show it, by defining his or her o...

Excellent work!

Great film. Very well done, and an interesting theme.

I love it Dave. I had to keep clicking the horse just to work out how many versions you have put in

Excellent! Interesting working technique as well. The design is terrific.

Really great animations. I like what you're doing with ASP very much.

It's very impressive. Really solid looking.

Terrific reel, so varied in style and technique. I love what I see of your work, and was inspired to visit your website to see full versions of those clips. Your choice of music is always great as well; I have heard none of it before, but I really like it.

You definitely have something. I find this latest film of yours is full of atmosphere and strangeness, and is quite compelling viewing. It'll never please a mainstream audience, but that should not be a surprise to you. Films made with AS often look a bit too clean and controlled - you have managed ...
