Animating Lies!

Frank's lesson on affectation and sub-conscious gestures was cool, so I found some links on how to animate a lie.

I'm not sure why this subject inerests me so much. Maybe because it's a lie in a lie on paper... or somethin...

Bill Plympton!

This guy is an insanely good animator. I first saw his stuff in the mid-nineties, but had since forgot his name... I asked Frank and he knew straight-away! He then charged me with the task of doing some research and inspiration-hunting, as I am planning on doing my narrative in a traditional/funkadelic coloury style.

This is what I found...

How awesome are these shorts?? Plus, there are hardly any backgrounds n' junk.

Sorry about the missing half of the screen.

This is the character I'll be using in my narrative... yay!!!
