Squares
I didn't plan this, so what else is new? Still I really like this sorta freeform jazz thing going on here. Gotta make more of these.

Still not perfect, but it's got some extra options.
This is where I'm going with all of this. Not the pill pals, but the technique. Pose to pose, holding a frame, animating to the next pose. I like the movement. I like the feel. Now if I can do this with lip sync, too.
Putting more ideas together with this. This is the progression of the animation as I was working on it. Here, using a static body layer with an animated head layer, I'm much more satisfied. It work quite well in that first clip. While I just went to town drawing random heads in the later versions. With some inbetweens and some easing in and out I think there is some real potential with this.
More layer fail. Layers work for some things. Like the changing expressions on a face, and simple lip sync. The static body just doesn't work with the movements of the arms. I think there is potential for using layers like this, but only for very short movements.
Failures with layers. This one just doesn't work. The whole thing is unsatisfying to me.
