First Test Animation

Hi folks,
Here's my first test animation of Danny, to see if my process will work. Apparently, he's scared of something.
 


I used a layered approach. Danny's head, eyes, mouth, ears, hair, and body are all on separate layers. The movement of his head is motion-tweened but the rest is traditional. For hybrid animation, I think it turned out really good, and had a decent turnaround of about a day.

I'm happy with the result, but I'll need to streamline my process to get more than 3 seconds done per day. It's only going to take longer in multi-character shots, effects shots, etc.
