My Animation Shorts

**jamjiggalam** · November 17th, 2011, 09:32 PM

Hi, my name is Leon. This is my first time posting my stuff on here. I like to do traditional 2d animation and here are my films.

This is my second film since I started pursuing animation. It may seem like a slide show in the beginning, but it gets better so please just watch it all the way through.

This is my third film and won
Best in Show & Audience Choice Award Winner of
4th Bi Annual RCC Animation Showcase 6/7/2011

edit: i know i should have said this a while ago, but critiques/tips would be much appreciated. especially on the second one. thank you.

The fighting moves in the first video are really cool!

very interesting stuff, really nicely done on those fighting parts, nice and pretty fluid motions!

here's a pencil test for short im currently working on.

oooh! spinny-roundy, very nice. Something I would suggest is maybe try having the rotation of his head start at the same time as the background scrolling. There are a few frames where the background "rotates" but the characters head maintains it's angle and in doing so the illusion of rotation is broken.

Bubblegum: Nice style, good direction, but felt unfinished.

Wuxia: So far, there isn't anything that's distracting although I would also like to see this finished as well.

Pan Pencil Test: Reminds me of Gerald Scarfe and Bruce Timm.

Other things worth mentioning: While I did like your music choices, it would be advised to look into the Newgrounds Audio Portal or it's affiliate Symphony of Specters for music.

Thanks a bunch for your feedback and music tip! I feel more motivated now to actually finish these works!

really nice story and animation in the first one, loved it!

here's my latest animation, 'Satyr'

**rumpenstiltzkin** · June 9th, 2012, 04:27 AM

oh man, that was really nice! only little thing that i reacted to was the camera when he falls to the ground, it was just a little bit to synced, could maybe just be a little offsetted? and a shake or something when he bumps in the ground.

im just amazed ´caus myself struggle to just draw 2 or more ppl interact, and you animate it really well
