Heh, you know I really hated the movie this clip came from but the animation is shaping up nicely.

ok i got most of the basic stuff done now im just gonna take my time on the mouths now tweeking them to look perfect and flush out any bad parts

looks pretty good. The only real crits I have right now are that if you watch the ant that's eating the metal's eyelid, it turns sideways for a while. It needs to stay upright the whole time. And, if you watch the ants bodies while they are talking they stay completely ridgid for a while, mainly the middle and lower sections and their legs. This makes it seem less realistic. I would make a slight breathing morph and apply it to the character's with repeat on so that it repeats over and over again simulating breath. But that's just my opinion.

definitely progressing well.

I like the expressions of the faces so far, although I think the eating one could use a bit more reaction to what the other is saying.

More body movement!

Heh, shaping up nicely. Took 2 veiwings to catch the slingshot at the end since it isn't really pronounced enough, but like the head shake 'I know what you're going to do please don't' of the paperclip eating ant.

Nice animation of the square grass also.

Aside from the points above, there just seems a problem with the intro of the 'bossy' ant and the whatever type of grin that is (still shivering from it and not in a scary way). The transition of not paying attention to paying attention to the clip eater..well, I don't know man but that grin, smile, whatever it is is just wrong. I can see 5 different ways to change it I hate it so much but if you change it I'll hate you not only for life but afterlife, it's so disturbing it's endearing. Heh, anyways, nice job so far.

Noratio · 10-07-2004, 10:22 PM

Good work, and you have good time to fine tone it. I don't know if that eating sound should sync?

chrispo · 27-07-2004, 03:01 PM
