Hey spoooze, I have a question: how do you do the slight shadings on the edge of the characters' faces and arms? That's something I've ben pretty unsuccessful with so far.
It's pretty simple really.

I usually divide the character up into layers. I usually have a "master" layer which is the layer I animate on and the layer I open up to see the other layers. I usually give this layer the character's name i.e. "Joe" or "Martha".

On THAT layer I go "Layer Settings" and to "Shading". I then click the check box for "Layer Shading" on. I then set the "Shading Direction" to about 92.

P.S.
Working on re-uploading the film so the vid will be down for a while.
