Wulfie Animation - win the race

Here is a looping clip of one of the scenes from the Wulfie Trailer. I thought I would post it to show the different stages in the process all in one scene. 

Most of the characters are in the key animation stage, with the turtle animated in Anime Studio with his shell a line version and his skin textured. The skin works really well and is easily achievable in Anime Studio, hence the reason we are going with it, but as the case with alot of computer generated animation its just too clean and the best description of this I have heard is from a Japanese 3D animator, "the computer animation will never be as perfect as hand drawn", kinda sums it up really, but its a trade off, time, money and texture animation for not hand drawn. I miss the pencil though.

Incidentally this entire scene was made in digitally, from storyboard image all the way through. Oh and in 2 different countries - (another reason for the digital process).
