I have finished this animation for a client. It is mainly done with Anime Studio, even 3d rendering with imported obj files and baked textures. Color shading, vignetting, motion blur and dof made in post.
The character animation is not very complex but I am quite happy with the result. http://vimeo.com/26382566
Wow, very good and nice character design. Only suggestion is maybe not articulate the lipsync so much as it appears he is chomping his words. But still, nice work.
