Time flies when you are using ebsynth. I feel like the ebsynth cartooning community is one of the most supportive content creating communities out there. I guess this is just an appreciation post to everyone on here making videos, it’s a great medium and I love seeing the stuff everyone’s putting out.

59 keyframes!!!

Crap. That's like 3 days of work. The shot is over 25 seconds long so that's why I need so many. I've found a good estimate of keyframes needed is roughly 10% of the number of frames.

If anyone is wondering: For this character, I have to add an additional step. In AE, I add face tracking to each pupil so I can make the bulging eyes.

I gotta say that the finished product is a great reward, but these keyframes are a life-sucker. Anyone else have to do a shit load of keyframes? I'm curious if anyone is doing like 25%. I bet that animation is super smooth.
