Description Hello everyone!

What you see here is an animation test I've been working on and off on for the past month. The goal here for me was to help with animating characters and objects as fluently as possible, along with helping to develop the design of some of my original characters some more. Although Mark (the young boy that for some reason has a circle for a head) and Flops (the walking, talking rabbit) are not that complicated to draw, it does allow for me to easily play around with how characters move a bit more since they're really basic designs to begin with.

Also, I plan to be using this animation among others while I'm trying to decide whether to change my major at my school to animation instead of computer science. So, if you have ANY suggestions on how I could improve this animation, my art style or anything else I may have submitted, please sound them out and I'll be happy to hear and consider them. If any of you animators out there had any suggestions, tips, advice or even warnings that you could give a guy wanting to pursue animation as a career, please let me know of those as well through a comment or even a note. All the help I can get to improve is priceless to me right now, as I'm still weary as to what to do with my major at college.

One last thing for anyone curious: this runs at 30 Frames Per Second, and all of this is frame-by-frame animation (except for the doors in the intro).

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. One of my favorite movies, if I do say so myself.

I don't think I've seen the original movie in a long time either. I just saw this clip on YouTube a month ago and thought it would be a hilarious thing to turn into an animation.

It also helps that Jim Carrey is extremely expressive in just about everything he does and says, which makes it easier on my part to convey emotions on the characters.

He really is expressive. Sometimes too expressive to the point he's like a living animation (which is cool by me).

That might explain why he's one of my favorite actors as well. I love the work he did for the Ace Ventura movies, and his acting in Bruce Almighty was phenomenal as well.

That's for sure! Although I guess it's been more interesting for me, especially after reading the responses I've been getting from animators all over about this animation and pursuing animation as a career.

Still, glad you like it!
