I made this jumping lamp animation on Maya. This is just a test animation to check Jason Schleifer's Grease Pencil. And yes, don't expect a high quality animation, as this is just for planning the shot!!

Testing.....................PAP.......................
Ummmm......I was just testing this cool little animation software called Plastic Animation Paper or PAP. The drawings are very crappy. I had to draw everything with my mouse. And that sucks!!!! Looks like I'll have to buy a graphics tablet, to make some good looking animations on this software!! Thanks to Jason Schleifer for his inspirational work. I just couldn't stop myself from getting inspired by this master animator.

My recent Test Animations (Animation Mentor Style)!!!!
Hey everyone! For the past few weeks, I was working on some basic traditional animation techniques. Currently I worked on some bouncing ball exercises from the Animator’s Survival Kit. One of my friends, who passed out from the “Animation Mentor”, compiled his AM work and made it available to me.
MY APPROACH TO LEARNING: First, I learn the basics from the Animator’s Survival Kit, then I analyze my friend's work and try to find a better approach. It takes a lot out of me, but it’s really rewarding!
I was just testing and improving my animation skills and these are some of my test animations! Check'em out!!

Norman Bates
Hi everyone! I made this animation in Maya, and I've used the Norman rig.
This animation is based on a little story: This guy Mr. Norman Bates is totally psychotic! Or you can call him a retard. His mom died some time ago (he killed her), and he is keeping her body, and believes that she is still alive! Now check out what he has to say about his mom. He thinks that she is just not quite herself today!
And here's the pipeline of this animation: 1) I spent some time listening to the sound file 2)I determined the personality of the character 3)I acted out the character in front of a mirror 4)I imagined and thumbnailed the whole scene 5)I blocked in key poses 6)converted to linear 7)retimed and made the breakdowns 8)shuffled the keyframes to loosen up a bit 9)Added lip-sync and facial expressions 10)converted to spline 11)added secondary motions and overlaps 12)fixed the f-curves as needed, created the lights, 13) Playblast!!
