I really like your animations! Just out of curiosity, why no faces?
Thanks humanodon. (incredible name btw) /Just out of curiosity, why no faces?/ I exclude faces, as well as a lot of detail in general, for a number of reasons. Simplicity is golden. Consistency is important. And the faster the better. Designing faces for characters, along with appropriate facial expressions would just take too much time. With all this project required in the time frame set, I had to be honest with myself that my level of design skills could not maintain a consistent over all look beyond geometric shape. So Cadell and I both felt very comfortable keeping the same aesthetics as the "Are Chimps Cultural?" video and trusting that with each episode our skills would improve! As each episodes wraps up, I can feel this happening! Small amounts of confidence and skill are accumulating and bit by tiny bit the videos shall convey this! (I hope!)
Thanks! (By the way, to quote stuff, you can put these things: | around the text | but without any spaces. Also, at the top right corner of the comment field is a tiny link that says "markup" with all kinds of other stuff you can do.) The two episodes so far are pretty well put together in my opinion, so I'm interested to see how the videos develop further. That makes sense about the faces.Small amounts of confidence and skill are accumulating and bit by tiny bit the videos shall convey this! (I hope!)
Thank you humanodon.
Look at me learning and applying interwebby tactics. Thank you. I appreciate your interest very much.(By the way, to quote stuff, you can put these things:around the text but without any spaces.
