Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

As a beginning animator, I had fun doing this short animation. The lip sync for the snowmen was pretty involved as the four part singing was done separately so each of the parts had a little different timing. So each part had to be lip synced separately. I guess you would not expect the snowmen to sing in perfect timing, LOL. Silent night was a first attempt of me and my daughter to sing 4 part harmony. She sang two parts and I sang two parts. Learned a lot in the process. Used bone angle targeting for the first time.

A sport car in the city made with Trans to Rotate Tool. thought it could be useful to other animation.

The classic endless four step runs from the 60s TV shows of my childhood. A lot of frame by frame using switches for characters. Each character has a transparent frame to make it disappear. All my drawings were done with a mouse. MP4s of the parts as listed were joined, to eventually make the whole. Then the background music and explosions were added.

The main wheel is rotated with the physics engine which then moves the other parts.

Tutorial: Moving A Pump With Physics

-- Bone layer, bones created with 'Sketch bones' tool, shadow layer effect
--- Chain, drawn in vector layer, layer effects added

The chain is created in three parts to give the 3D look. Each part has a style that can be changed.

Was inspired to use artwork by Giger and traced a few parts of different images. Created the song just for this animation a simple Emaj bar chord the lower 3 strings starting on the 5th fret. The synth made me think of Heavy Metal (the movie) I hope you will enjoy this one. No sounds were added to the file they can be got at SoundBible.com
All was created in Moho 13.5 - might be a large file to open in Moho you may want to import it by layers if you decide to download it.
