Topic: Dialogue Test

These are my two attempts at animating dialogue. The first is towards realistic arm movement, and the second is more cartoony. I would like some input on which one is best.

Re: Dialogue Test

The first one. The second one doesn't look cartoony, it's way too jittery.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: Dialogue Test

I would say neither and try moving the arms a lot less. Unless they are yelling and it calls for obnoxious movements, try toning it down.

Re: Dialogue Test

I have the same opinion as Olsonstudios. The arms are really distracting and annoying.

Re: Dialogue Test

Also, try not to just copy/paste frames in a loop, and make the moves more gentle unless he's screaming and/or flipping out.
