Supermarket Fever

Short film sent with the "Animation Mentor" newsletter by Hichem Arfaoui. Some really nice character animation - obviously the dancing bit has fantastic fluidity, but the subtle things like the walk cycle at the start whilst the characters browsing the isles caught my eye. Notice how the emphasis on weight has shifted into his hands - its like his hands are pendulum driving the whole cycle and not the leg - a very subtle nuance of somebody just wandering aimlessly round a shop, very clever! I also liked the establishing shot - the diegetic sign at the beginning sets the scene whilst giving the title of the film - 2-4-1, efficient!
