Description
Finished my kitty lipsync for digicomp class!
It's my kitty characters Matzi and Minx. Minxie likes getting toms all flustered, I think 
Soundclip from A Knight's Tale.EDIT: heh, suddenly decided to use the Rufus icon I made for this. I've been addicted to making LJ icons lately and I'd just watched The Rescuers xDDD
Picture from Disney's The Rescuers

The term is 'animator', hun 
Perhaps, for a while, if they'll have me it would be an honour. After that I want to go home and help the animation industry in my country

A weekend. AND THEN SOME. -dies- It was 135 frames all in all, but well worth it ^^ (quite a bit of it was just holds anyway xDD when I chose my clip I made sure to pick something relatively easy that would still allow for some character acting, because that's always fun ^^)

And it shows off your MAD SKILLZ too!

Ahaha, aww, that is too cute! ^^ Your animations are so wonderful! =3 And that is too weird, because I literally just watched A Knight's Tale the other day! xD

Beeeutiful! I've watched it a billion times, Their expressions and movements are so perfect! That toss of his head, then the stunned realization of what he just said...
Awesome. Excellent job, bringing two pretty realistic characters to so much life!! Those ear movements in particular are so perfect!
And I love The Rescuers!! Evenrude was one of my favorites. XD

aw man i love the rescuers....!
And i'd love to see this animation XD
Do you ever submit them to other sites that play without the download deal?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw no, I'm sorry! I only do that with the really big files, this one is 4.5 megs so I didn't bother. heh. Does it not work for you?
The Rescuers is awesome love. I hadn't watched it for ages and I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid, so seeing it again was so nice, espcially since you understand a lot more than when you were younger. and then I found out that Rufus was supposed to be Ollie Johnston and I just had to make an icon out of him xDDD

Beautifully animated, Shelly. 
Nice strong keys, expressions and timing.
My only suggestion would have been for the male cat to pause with surprise before he says "...I mean no."; or have that "wait a minute" expression. My storytelling instincts are going mad. XD!
But of course with time constraits and my crappy animation, who am I to judge! XD! Awesome work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh? o.O I thought that's exactly what I did, gave him that wait-a-minute look of horror as he realises what he was saying. hm.. o.O
It was your stuff, wasn't it, that was on the comp all the time I was doing this xDDD there were two big files open on photoshop that looked like yours, some cat walking away and a row of cactuses, and I couldn't close them because they weren't saved and I don't like touching other people's stuff xDDD but anyway.

AWWW!! ^-^ I'm sorry. Ya coulda closed em'. I believe in the "snooze ya lose" attitude at our good ol' school (seeing as that's what some of the crappy administrators believe anyways).
Anyhoo...I love watching your stuff move. . .it's so awesome.
Interesting though....even though it was only a rear view of the cat, you managed to guess it was mine. Either I'm really special and have a kick ass unique style (w00tw00t). . . . .or I simply named the file accordingly (meaning my name was on it). Either way...YEAH! I ROCK! XD!
Unfortunately your line quality beats the crap outta mine...yeesh, it's good. o-o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha gotta love (or love to hate) the crappy administration
Oh no, I guessed it from the style, so yay! xD and I realise I haven't actually seen your stuff move proper. o.o

Hmm...maybe I'll post that very assignment on DA.

This is so undeniably COOL.
Man!!! I envy you so much, you can breathe life into your characters like this!
Even though it takes hours just to make a little clip... still! Awesome!
I love the head tilts you gave Minx, especially at the beginning when she's approaching. She's so coy or something? Almost flirty.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha, hours? Try days! xDDD It took me a whole weekend and then some to get this done and up, I think. among other things o.o
hee yeah. Minxie was supposed to be all flirty, but in a cool way. She's not a slut, just likes getting a reaction out of toms, I suppose xD I'm glad I got that bit across

LOL gooooosh that was fantasticly adorable and loook people love it! I wish you'd make a full animated movie someday.

You're such a brilliant animator! =O
I loove their expressions ^__^
Though I think the white kitty moved a little too fast, I almost thought my browser played it too quick first time i saw it o.O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, speed is a problem since I'm used to animating on 24 frames per second, and on computers they play it at 30 fps. bleh. but I hope I'll get used to it!
Thanks for the commenting, Kanu!

I love that movie. Even though we had to study it in History class.
Awesome lipsync!! Ahaa "Von Lichtenstein". He's such a doof.

That's just too awesome! I had to watch it like 5 times before I could comment! I love the bit where Matzi speaks, you've used the ears really well to convey expression too.
I look forward to seeing the little "Swift Animation" thumbnail in my devwatch <3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww
It was 135 frames exactly o.x -dies- though of course quite a bit of the stuff in there were holds, so it wasn't too bad. I still had to draw a crapload, though xD

Really?! Wow D: Still really awesome, though! x3
