The Girl Next Door

I finished this animation on friday, but due to a freak storm the internet was promptly shut down. I guess that's what I get for living in a rural Cornish farmland. This animation took me a bit longer to animate since I wanted to really perfect the animation on both character, but I still feel there's a lot more room for improvment.

The audio clip I used was from The Girl Next Door (Greenfield, 2004), and the idea for this was to have the characters do a lot more motions with they're bodies as they speak, to increase the dialogues substance.
The graph editor ended up being my best friend in this regard, as I could make exaggerated movements with the characters hips and arms. I also put more time into facial animation, as you can see the characters pulling faces and making large mouth movements. I feel all of this helped making the dialogue more interesting and vibrant, which is key to make the audience bored of the scene.
