Hi everyone! I've been working on this animation for a bit of time, testing out the new features of Anime Studio Pro 11. I have to say I am very pleased with updates. Thanks for watching, here it is:

Aside from some of the stereo sound dropping out, this is really very accomplished. Great job.

I love this, the character animation/acting looks so natural. One thing that could complement your character style nicely is to add keyframes to the blinks revealing the curvature of the eyes. I couldn't find the example I was thinking of, but this one from Richard William's Animator's Survival Kit kind of shows it: https://philmullany.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/eyes/ And an animated example: https://youtu.be/2jRkx2PNVr8?t=1m11s Did you use frame by frame for this animation?

My favorite part of animating is when a character's face reveals emotion that is right for the scene. You did a wonderful job with the girl's face to communicate what she was feeling.

Great job

Thanks for the tip! I didn't do frame by frame animation but next time I'll definitely try this technique1

I'm not surprised Smith Micro shared it. What a fantastic example of the high standard of work you can do with Anime Studio. Brilliant animation and artwork Jessica :D
