This is a clip of a mixture of animation experiments that I've been doing in school. It goes over a lot of different mediums and such.
The quality sucks because I've never converted a .mov to a .swf before and... finding a good program that does it, free, is well, a pain in the ass :P That and because of the length, the quality is bleh.
The hand drawn in it gets chewed to crap from the compression so I'll upload that seperately.
Music for the bear dance part was an old piece done up by da man, DJ Zim Skunk. We could only use non-copy writed music for that piece and I bug him a lot about his toons and putting them in some of my school animations ;) <3

Thanks for the educational expamples.
I am curious, is the action figure based animation like done on "Robot Chicken" its own genre, or is it considered basically the same as claymation?
The problem of lip synch with the paste-over mouths seemed to differentiate it sufficiently from claymation, and the relatively inflexible quality of the model seems to make it unique.
You could take the classic wood posable artist's dummy and paste a mouth and eyes on it and achieve the same effect, of course skipping the use of copyrighted figures altogether.

I can't say Robot Chicken is going to start a genre of shows done the same way. It may be a fad that keeps mostly to itself, but I have to compliment the producers of the show on making the stiff joints and inflexible models of action figures actually make me laugh once in a while. I think it's intentional they tend to make hand gestures that (I chagrin at the term) look "gay." It does give affectation, so that's part of the goal of animation, eh?
Weird Al's "Weasel Stomping Day" and some et al. definitely have been as funny as any other animated comedy to me. Come to think of it, they did some claymation like stuff in at least some scenes of that...

Yeah, it's all the basic poop to work on motion and timing. I never took the fundementals class, which this is, so it was like going backwards. Because of time, I didn't put a whole lot of effort into these because of lack of real interest.
Did they make you shoot it all by camera too? I wish I could have just done it digitally :P
