Hey guys.

I thought I'd post my short film here. I'm primarily a character animator (as will be obvious when you watch my film) and would welcome the chance to work with other skilled CG artists on additional independent films.

Nice work there.

The girl looked very real, and the knight just looked funny. Classic slap-stick humor. I'm guessing the other knight(the one he fought) was ugly too? She was running from him?

Good job, I like it

Animation books etc.

MonkeyLips,

Can you recommend any reference books etc for animating. I'm interested in character animation as well. I've modeled a few characters but I want to start rigging and animating.

I love the movement and hesitations.

A lot of people think they have to make things look completely realistic to do an outstanding animation, which is really not true. This animation would be great for a demo real or maybe even a short to add to some type of production. Great creativity. . .
