Flip book time!!

Shiro Ninja sanjou! It's time to flip some pages! Below is a shot I just finished animating in which the boy is doing a spinning back kick!! (Please disregard the scribbles on the sides... This is still a rough pass, and I try to reuse paper as much as possible for our tree friends...) Animating the traditional way means constantly flipping pages to see if the motion is working. This scene will be a lot faster when it's edited in real time, but at least we get an idea of whether or not the action is working.

Until next time...
