Bouncy, snappy animation, clear and effective staging, very good timing - me like. Especially the jump was nicely spaced, with good weight during the catch. As long as the style's simple and graphic, AS can take you a long way.

Hi, Looking nice, but there's room for improvement. To loosen up the arms, you can use the wave principle. In animation, there's the principle of lead and drag, resulting in an animation pattern called the wave principle. It simply means in plain English that body parts don't start moving , stop mov...

The great thing about Animation Studio is, that you can just build in on top of the animation that you already have, for hand drawn animation you have to basically redo every drawing for that. Even if a lot of it cannot be used in Animation Studio, I still can reccomend three books to you - Animatio...

@Amiga Man - The basic reasons why we wanted to do the series in a Anime Studio type of software were threefold - the graphical design of the characters permitted it, the budget would be very tight, and we didn't want to outsource the animation to China. I was a supervisor in China on several occasi...

@Neeters Guy - Thanks. There was a great team working on that one. Wilbert Plijnaar, who did the storyboards, layouts and BG paintings, later moved on to Disney, he did boards for the latest Goofy short and The Princess And The Frog, and he also boarded the Dodo-sequence in the first Ice Age film, a...

I think it's very professional and I like it to a certain degree, but for my taste the style is too much zip 'n pose, too much Ren & Stimpy (animation wise, that is). I've never been a pose to pose animator, I always did my stuff straight ahead whenever I could, and I would usually be more inter...

It's hypnotic, but it's also very dark and disturbing, in spite of all the happy colors. I'm quite certain that you meant it to be disturbing, so I think you did a good job on it. Looks intriguing, hope to see more. I hope that the Costa Rican government has a different view on diminishing poverty t...

I see what you mean, but it's still too remote from the way I prefer to animate. Usually, whenever possible, the first thing I do is to animate from a strong line of action, and then build the details on top of that. There's not that much animation of mine on line right now, but there's some older e...

Since I'm personally more interested in cartoony stuff like Tom & Jerry, WB Loony Tunes and Disney, and in acting, rather than in graphics, AS isn't really a solution for my personal stuff either. Maybe I should switch to something like TV Paint. Unfortunately it's expensive and not in my budget...

Overall I like it. The storytelling worked fine. I agree with sbtamu's comment on the eye blinks. Without them, characters tend to lack a sense of life What you also would consider is body sync. In professional animation, we solve the body sync before we even touch the lips. The way to do it is to l...

Given your nick name, I bet you must be familiar with Take 2 then, my all time favorite animation software of them all... Sadly, I hardly ever get to draw any more. Whenever I get involved in drawn animation, it is as a director and overseas animation supervisor for a series that outsources its anim...

Thanks. I animated the dogs paw using vector point animation, as bones can be a bit rigid. I had fiddled around a bit with Anime Studio before I started working on this assignment, but I'm hardly an expert, and, as a dinosaur pencil pusher from the heydays of traditional animation, things like riggi...

Denmark? On several productions, I worked with former students from the animation school in Viborg, most of them very talented. In Holland, I worked with Holland-based Danish veteran animators like Per Lygum and Bjorn Frank Jensen, and I've met Borge Ring a couple of times. I animated on Help I'm A ...

It's already a year old, and nothing really spectacular, but it is an example of Anime Studio Pro 5.6 used in a professional production, for the pack shot of a German TV commercial. A direct link is not possible, so please select the Payback commercial at the bottom of the page. http://www.trixter.d...

I have won the right to make an animation for a company and now we shall negotiate about the price, how much is it possible to charge pr. second/minute? Is it a good idea to charge for the movie and then charge for the copies or is it best to make a cover all price? If the price is to high they pro...
