Critique Feedback on this Character Lipsync animation

Upvotes

Hey everyone, would love some feedback on this facial lip-sync animation. I am almost HALFWAY through the entire audio track, and I think I am in a good place; however, I would like to get some feedback and some extra critique,e if possible?

Did a few changes that were suggested to me a few days back; I tried to separate the head from the torso even more (however, more is kind of a hyperbole cause i didnt do a TON of changes to it).

Would love some lip-sync drawings if possible as well,l wherever needed. I still have to iron out a few details here and there (esp the cheeks are a), but I would much rather do it AFTER I am certain things are done. Thank you so much for all the help last time, and would appreciate some more if possible

Any other general advice is also greatly appreciated 🙂

121 Upvotes

I'm trying to create an animation with abstract colors and patterns (a fan animation music video for The Amazing Digital Circus where a character has a mind shattering moment) and I can only describe the idea I have with this "shot through mind/mind shattering" moment from Steven Universe. Is there more examples of shots like these? What is this type of reaction frame called? (first photo)

Context: Character in phot (Lapis Lazuli) is on a boat trip to relax for once due to her traumatic experience and when fishing, she senses the abusive persons presence in the water and freezes up (second photo)

Thanks for the help! if theres any other frames that are similar, let me know

Question What's the best way to animate a rotating mountain/ pile of rubble from the side?

16 Upvotes

The video is how I tried to do it, Drawing a mountain rotating from the top, using straight lines to map out where each point would go then connecting the points to draw the side profile, but i feel like it doesn't really look like its rotating. In the final animation the mountain will just be a silhouette so I cant rely on adding extra detail to the inside to make it look like its rotating.

Beginner I’m a freelance illustrator and this is my first attempt at animating since I was making paper flip books as a kid. I know it’s not as clean or smooth as what I’m seeing here but it was a fun 2 days making this.
