Thanks for the comments guys,

Yep the running is just some tweaked mocap data and I am crap when it comes to key frame stuff so it is a little rigid.

Just done another 2 shots and hope to have the rest done very soon. They are not great though as my animation skills are without doubt my weakest and something I really need to practice and learn more about.

Final is done and added sound although I think I may be even worse at sound effects than key frame animation :headbang:

Be nice to have a few moven suits, a motion capture studio or a selection of pixar animators chained in the corner.

looks interesting, loving the look of it so far... any storyboards on paper or just working off from a script?

Cheers Marlon,

Unfortunately there was no real budget for this so I kind of made it up as I went along. The guy it is for is happy though and so we are going to try something else out.

Will upload some other bits when I get them done.

Cheers,

Leon

Cheers Murambi,

Saw your request for tuts on this kind of thing and would recomend checking out christopher desse stuff.
Did the shader set up for my version of the joker from Akira.
