Side to Side

Gotta learn how to animate the double bounce. I'm off to learn at the feet of Preston Blair! Ok, that's not too clear. Let's see if we can find some Ub double bounce.

Also on the animation to-do list: Stock puppets for Gavv and Jeff. Start with Heino and HG and go from there.

Won't have to worry about animation for HG's eyes, either...

Now where did I put the Dancing Heino clip?

Ja, ja, so blau, blau, blau blüht der Enzian,
Wenn beim Alpenglüh'n
Wir uns wiederseh'n.
Mit ihren ro-ro-ro-roten Lippen fing es an,
Die ich nie vergessen kann!

Wenn des Sonntags früh um viere die Sonne aufgeht
Und das Schweizer Madel auf die Alm 'naufgeht,
Bleib ich ja so gern am Wegrand steh'n, ja steh'n,
Denn das Schweizer Madel sang so schön:

Holla-dia-dia-holladi-holladi-ho,
Holla-dia-dia-holladi-holladi-ho.
Blaue Blumen dann am Wegrand steh'n, ja steh'n,
Und das Schweizer Madel sang so schön!

Of course, the animation of the eyes is one of the things that gives a character some "life." And Heino doesn't move around much. I should make a Heino DDR style game in flash. All he does is sways back and forth.

On the other hand HG tends to move around a lot. There'll be more work involved in setting up all the animation cycles for an HG puppet.

Gotta do a Soapy puppet, too. Look! No mouth or eyes! Easy lip synch!
