Thanks, Henrike. Yeah, that’s exactly why I searched for materials first … and I did have some ideas I wouldn’t have had if I had started with the sketches. I will definitely post the video on Facebook in September!

I think it`s a great idea to find materials first and then start sketching the character. You can get fresh new ideas that you hadn`t even thought of and don`t have the problem of having to find the right stuff to fit your idea.

Can`t wait to see the end result. 😀 Be sure to post it in the FB group when it`s online!

Thanks Monica! I wish we could just show the film today. It was a big step forward for me as a storyteller. I’m glad you understood the process from this post. If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks Brock! I’m having a blast and growing a ton. Yes, the character was animated by taking one picture at a time and then I compiled and timed out the pictures Photoshop. The Effects are all digital. And yeah, it was a blast to play Charlie: as I walked down the street I had the coolest interactions with people. Chaplin was a master storyteller, and a favorite among animators.

That’s Awesome! I look forward to seeing your finished project. Looking back to your first animated shots I can see a huge improvement, it makes me so excited to think of the things you’ll come up with in another couple years! Keep up the great work!

So much talent! Your timetable was put together fabulously! It helped me picture the entire process from beginning to end. I can’t wait to see the film!
