Animation to music

[madanimator]

My attempt to animate a character to music. It's a quoll (a marten which lives in Australia) and his name is Jeff (I can't animate a character who does not have a name). I'm thinking about making him on one's when he's clapping his hands. Maybe it's too fast. Your feedback would be great!

Did you ever animate a character to music? Tell me about it. What was your thought-process?

[madanimator]

Thanks for your feedback! The song calls 'Are ye sleeping Maggie'. You can find a better version on youtube, sung by Rapalje, a dutch band. ;)

Wow that's very nicely done, I love the flow & movement of the quoll. It's very cute. Would like to see more of your work!

awesome irish dance. it does matches the dancing....... hyenas? anyway, how do you do that? it sure takes alot of practices to get it right.:confused::D

[madanimator]

Thank you! And no, that's not a hyena (although it looks like one, you're right :D) It's a quoll (a marden). Well, let's say, it's my personal version of a quoll. How I did that? Simple. I studies a dance sequence of disneys 'Peter Pan' (the pirate dance) and found out, that after two inbetweens the up or the down position comes. Here's the principle: up- position, inbetween, inbetween, down- position, etc. (on 2s-). So I check this principle out and it really works.
