Correction: "I keep calling the mouth one shape, but really it's one object... they are separate shapes connected or joined shapes. The mouth object sits on only one layer." jg

A quick explanation of how I set up a character in Anime Studio Pro 7 and animate them using point level animation. A great way to add stretch and squash to your characters. If you find this explanation helpful then please comment so that I know to make more. I could also make some more detailed tutorials. Thank you for watching.=)

I took some time to finish up a short cartoon. This was animated with AnimeStudio Pro 6. First however, I penciled out the rough animation in the program “Pencil” it’s free open-source animation program that allows for both vector and bitmapped drawing. Then I took that pencil test into AnimeStudio to finish up the cartoon.

I recently met with a certain Ryan Simmons. He’s the owner/animator/illustrator of Cartoon Solutions and a very nice guy. He brought to my attention that a cartoon made with existing characters could give my cartoon more views and exposure. His StarWars Spoof cartoons already had a large fan-base the minute he created them. Thank you very much for the advice Ryan! So, in finishing up this short cartoon I made them little kid versions of Edward Cullen and Bella from the Twilight Saga. I’ll have to watch closely to see if this one get’s more traction that my other animation tests or toons.
