Topic: Cartoon Gags Test

Max and Untitled Man battle it out on the set of Jeffery And The Old Man Love Bites!

Vimeo.

I've been told recently that my animation is very cartoon-y, I decided to try some "cartoon gags" you'd see in Looney Tunes. (Hitting People with mallets, etc.)

I made this in one hour to test it out. I'm posting it here just to see what you guys think.

Enjoy.

I love the mallet hit.

But it's all a BIT too fast.

Nicely done.  The animation was smooth and it had that cartoony feel you mentioned.  I think a big thing with having cartoon like animation is having the minifigures do large movements/overemphasized actions.  You should make an entry for the hamming it up mini challenge.

With the bottle of club soda try using one of those trans 1x1 round cylinder things, instead of the big trans dome piece. It would make the bottle much more minifigure scale (unless you were going for that look).

It's getting somewhere, needs some more smoothness though.
