Lip Sync for a Character with a Beak - Revised

After I got some critics and feed back on my assignment I decided to improve my animation a bit. I re-did all the frames where he rubs his face with his left wing so I could make the wing more feather like and less drapery like. I also tied up some drawings and made sure he is not sliding around the screen anymore. I hope the improvements made my attempt better and not worse.

Lip Sync for a Character with a Beak

I animated and pencil tested this character I, myself, designed. The idea was to try and create a lip sync for a character with a beak. I put only about 4 hours in to this so the work isn't the best. I think the lip sync worked but I am not as pleased with the character's acting, especially in the end where his head is bobbing way more than I wanted. I also wasn't worrying too much about his placement and he ended up floating around a little bit. I guess it still counts as an exercise. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Pan in the Park (supposedly Ibirapuera in São Paulo)

This was an Layout assignment where we had to create a multy-plan pan. We also needed to have a character animated in a walk cycle. I was going to animate something specific for this assignment but I it turned out I ran out of time. I decided to follow our teacher's original instruction to use our old walk and run animation assignment instead of creating a new one. This is how it turned out. Hope you guys like it.
