Wow! The animation looks so fluid and natural. On top of that, the models themselves are highly detailed and very well lit. This is top notch stuff. I'm jealous!

Hey, I'm actually a noob when it comes to animating, and I have a question. Did you keyframe all the animations or did you use presets to do the same? If keyframing, then how do you get results that are so organic and natural looking? Not expecting a detailed answer, of course, just a nudge in the right direction! Thanks!

But I did everything myself: boarding, modeling, animating. Each short took few month. In a few years I got my first job as an animator in a studio.

Great job. So much emotion, no confusing poses, and great timing. When you animate, do you do key poses first, then animate in-betweens, or do you just animate motion, then adjust timing later? I'm still struggling between the two.

Great stuff bro. Did you start out in traditional animation and just transition into 3D or did you just start out in 3D? I find that learning traditional animation first, although not necessary, helps tremendously in doing computer animation for the principles are the same and it seems much easier to adapt then computer animation.

What I really enjoyed most was the models. You've got some pretty awesome 3D models! The animation is more or less most of the time, though. But I'm quite fond of the animations with the scorpion and a certain few with the green beetle. But still, sometimes the reactions to damage/etc, even some of those with regular seem WAY overplayed and sometimes so cartoony that it gets really cheesy/embarrassing. But there are some very nice moments, I will give you that. But they're spread-out. Kudos!
