On top of the commitment required to produce movement in animation Andrea Dezso has embroidered this figure for the animation itself. The figure doesn't just walk it rotates also. Very special and very clever thinking.









A beautiful example of sequential planning from Andrea Dezso. She calls this a story board but I think its amazing in its own right. It is for her animation The Demon Bridegroom.

A nice little showreel

Whilst having a look around at Staffordshire's online degree show I came across this from graduate Richard Cheung, it's a great little show reel showing a number of interesting experiments with animation techniques.
