Animation Sketches - Not Typed!!??

I was really inspired by Decembers 11 Second Club audio clip and was planning on doing an animation to it. Turns out the month of December was very busy -- as always, and I didn't have time to animate my idea. I was looking through my sketchbook and I decided to time it out to the audio and post it anyways. Doing these thumbnails and timing it out to the audio is a huge time saver! It makes you think through the entire shot, whats going to happen when, the contrast of the characters, things that will work and might not...and it doesn't that too long to do!





Maybe I'll have time to animate this one day!
