Walk! A Tutorial About Walks

A good friend of mine (April Peter) had written a serious and thorough tutorial about animating walk cycles.
She has given special attention on how she looks at it from her point of view, what should and shouldn't be done while making a walk cycle (for example - walk cycles in place is a big NO) and it's also really nice to see all the short video samples she made, showing each step to be as clear as it gets.

Werewolf Character Design

Lately I've been looking into some character desing tutorials on Youtube when I came across a clip by Joe Vriens showing his way of work to draw this beautiful werewolf.
I thought it could be nice to share this one with you since he has a very simple technique and still gets a really nice resault.



here is a link to his blog if you would like to see more.

Laundry tales

This is a very nice short film done here in Israel (I admit I was touched by it).
The note in the end says "Grandma, Enjoy your new dryer" (more or less).
