So... I spend all my other time on other projects as well as this one, though spent mostly on miscelanious parts of the animation process... such as modeling teeth, tounge, rigging said objects, then creating blend shapes from scratch, Its rather sad that I wound up only having about 6-8hours to spend actually animating the rig! XD

haha, thusly its no where near finished, but it seemed everyone was very happy with it when presented, so Im posting this for all of you who haddent yet.. I plan on cleaning it up, lengthening it out (the full clip is about 2 min long) and tweaking the rest

Im aware the angry stage isnt done, nor is it polished, nor is the motion of the head well off, just live with it, Ill fix it later Im tired of final projects and want a vaccation! XD

Those that are curious about the sound clip it came from a very amusing robot chicken episode, hehe :D

This is great! You should do more animation. This is better animated than most of the animation demo reels.

The emotions look good, especially in in stage 1. The 'm' sound pops up a lot and is not easily read on his lips...I think that might make the mouthing of the words work a bit better. Sometimes over emphasizing looks better. I like it, though! Nice work :)

Dont mess with a Dragon, for you can become crunchy and therefor taste good with your choice of condiment.

well not counting the walking and falling, I spent about 6-8 hrs on the lipsyncing and head movements, from what I hear thats pretty good :D though lipsyncing has got to be some of the most hair pulling borrng-est parts of the animation due to not being able to listen to music and it being very predictable and such, so that 8 hours wasnt counting about 2-3 hours of accumulated breaks (probably even longer, but hey I had other finals and such) XD

The walking part of the animation is a bit harder to guess as I did it on free time, for no real assignment (at that moment) and I was up late at night doing it for fun kinda, so I didnt keep track of the time, then spent some time tweeking, so that might be around 8 hours in itself somewhere... the falling down was prolly another 2, still the blendshapes for all the facial movements trumps all these with probably 10-18 hrs :P and then modeling/ texturing tounge and teeth, 4-8, and rigging teeth tounge 1-3. all very tough to judge Im guessing thats what the ammount to total, concidering I like to take alot of breaks specially for projects with no due times XD
