I just ran across this animation today and thought I'd share. It is a thing of hilarious, 8-bit beauty. Also, it's definitely :nws:

A couple things.

First, here's me trying to learn CG better. This needs a lot more work.

The biggest problem I can see is the the bit around 00:15 where the guy is jumping back and forth. It looks like the torso is leading the motion, rather then the legs. Try to add a bit more weight to the landings and anticipation to the jumps, and maybe have the "outside" foot leave the ground slightly behind the "inside" foot.

Okay my turn!

This is a rough scene from an upcoming group film I'm making for school and I'd appreciate some feedback. There's also a very outdated leica reel of the whole film from October in the related videos if you're interested.

For those who are interested, here's the finished short that myself and 10 other students have been working on for the past year. Sort of a quasi-anime zombie type thing. Enjoy!

I still find it odd that 3D can cost more than 2D. Maybe that's due to the cost of rendering farms and less of the actual process?

It all depends on the scope of the project in question. If you have a TV show or short film with a constant cast of characters, a few set locations and a style that's not too rubbery and loose, 3D would probably be the cheapest and easiest. Once you start having a bunch characters that only appear for a few scenes or using a wide variety of locations, the amount of work required for modeling/rigging/lighting rapidly inflates.

I think the motion is motion fine, it just needs to happen over a few more frames. If you stretched the last 3 frames out into 5 or 6 and filled in the inbetweens, I think it'll really sell the settle back into the neutral pose. Otherwise it looks great stuff, especially for a 1 day challenge!
