Looks great! It's already good, but keeps getting better.

The trailer gives a good preview of the work. This reminds me that sometimes "style" is often just a creative solution to limitations. Thanks for sharing the back story.

For inspiration.

The prompt for this:
1. Keep it moving to the right.
2. Capture the sense of movement.
3. Add at least one custom character.
4. Don't touch the camera.

I’ve been entering this lately for inspiration. I can usually work up something in a day or so, so that fits in with my schedule. I have to confess the rigs that I submit are little unfinished, but I don’t know if it’s possible to update the files there. Anyway, thanks to the people behind AnimeStud...

Your experience as an art director shows here 'cause this looks really good especially for a first video.

Neeters_guy: What an innovatively simple approach which gives spectacular results! I love how you have leveraged the flexibility of this approach by breaking the eating cycle in to two phases.

Some "advanced" features shouldn't be attempted until the fundamentals are mastered. A super basic template approach could involve nothing more than importing a simple rig like Crazy Guy from the library and swapping/altering parts. Will it look good? Well, it depends. Animating takes time...

Amen to that. Happy New Year, everyone!

This sounds like the old "mandcon" rig. It's discussed in this video at 19:33 .

Completing such a long piece is quite an accomplishment. The story is a bit young for my taste, but your effort clearly shows through.

Looking forward to your next project.
