smooth is easy in flash, just motion tween the shit out of everything
its getting arcs and easing right thats hard in flash

well, you cant tween everything... only 2 dimensional motion...
if you want it to look natural, cel animation is the way to go. its just very time-consuming.
you made very good use of tweens though. usually tweened motion comes out looking very robotic. yours looks very natural though.

hmmm....it's a little awkward...some things are moving SUPER smooth, while other things pop very noticeably. Take the mouth for instance compared to the arms. The arms move really smoothly (tweened I imagine) while the mouth goes from closed to POP open in one frame. The ghosts also contrast the smooth movements, and look like they were animated on ...threes? At any rate, I think if you are going to go with a choppier style, take out the tweens in the body movement afterwards (convert the entire tween to keyframes, remove the tween, and then remove every 2 out of three keyframes to slow it down) I love the design style, it looks great, but I think you need a more consistent look for the animation itself. Great job, and keep up the good work!

yeah some things pop and some dont because he is not fully symbolized with a full library of expressions. i just rigged the drawing i did. it only has one other mouth shape because i was showing a friend how replacement animation works in flash and just left it there in the test. i worked at a flash studio, so i know the motion tween to keyframe trick. Infact i did a similar trick for his head. (if you use that trick a lot, be careful it can ruin your spacing and timing) i also want the ghosts and the dude to be different in the line of thought that ghosts are wiggly.
it was mainly just a test i crapped out in a few hours to see what i could do with the drawing. i had no real goals for the style of motion, but you are right, as a film it will have to be more unified.
thanks for the crit!

This is very smooth and wonderful. I like the crisp cleanness of it all and the emotional character of the character. Hoping to see more!

I love the style, the opacity of the ghosts, and the overall mood... I just love it! (Did you use Flash, because I swear I could never get it to work this great for me! :])

Oh, definitely! Your style is always so fun and I think that you could do something really interesting by continuing this.

It's a nice style on the main guy
I can't tell how smooth the ghost's tail is though 'cause of the loop but I guess that doesn't matter
