Pencil Test

[pasithea]

About 17 seconds long, it's part pop-through but mostly pencil test. This is the setup for a dance number. I think the nods need work but I'm pleased with the walks, cuts, timing, and winding the victrola. To me, this is my first animated character that really feels 'alive'. Any inputs or criticisms totally appreciated (even if you hate it, heck, especially if you hate it. :) I apologize it's in Quicktime 7. Foul Bilbo Jobskins tricksied us!

Y'see, I see 'Pencil Test' and the first thing I think of is that old test for whether or not one needed to wear a bra - you'd stick a pencil in the crease under your boob and if it didn't fall out, you needed a bra.

And then I saw 'animation' and became very confused.

Yeah, I know, but I fail that test and it's depressing (except when playing sports whne I'm rather happy about it) so I'll stick with this definition. ^_^
