Hi, I was working a couple months ago in a video documentary about Mauricio Redolés, a poet and musician (something like the "chilean Bob Dylan").
The documentary is directed by a friend of mine and finally will be released this week on a little cinema in Santiago.
I worked on the animations which start each chapter, on this video I fastly put all they together to show you them, so please don't judge about continuity.
Final walkcycle is for the credits. Some animations were slowed by order of the director (in my opinion, dance sequence were the most affected)

Design was part of another friend, the main idea was to describe the diferent personalities of Redolés, combining tarot and lira popular art. We all worked for free and this this documentary is nonprofit.

PD: Here is a zip (mediafire, 47.5 mb) with all the anme and image files, if you want to see them. I can't guarantee they be too ordered, but maybe could be helpful for someone.

I really like this.. basic, simple but really effective in my eyes. It would be really good to see this applied to a strong narrative. Keep it up.

Thank you christ, I liked the style too and actually I'm thinking on using something similar on another project, I mean, with simple drawings, masking, textures and diferent layer blends.

That's weird, try going directly to my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/tazatriste, that should work.

That worked! I liked them -- as you said, they are too slow, but it helps to know why!

Beautiful work, Selgin. Your interpretation of the flat Tarot card style is very accomplished.

Thank you all for the kind comments. It took several long nights and just now I can show you the animations. I'm glad you like it :)
Here is a gif of a test I did before having a real plan about animations.

This looks amazing. I love it when digital animations can retain an analog look and feel.

I learn something new from your work every day it seems!
