Hey Amira,
I really like your work and am interested in what you have to share - but It's almost impossible to make out what you are saying :(
It would really help if you didn't add background music, used a clip on mic and not recorded during morning prayers (or close your windows)

All the best!

Thanks for sharing. I was looking forward this video. Funks has a point, but I figured it out by watching the layer palette.

The technique is a switch layer with group layers for the side and front view. Where the switch occurs, you move points to match the view. There is one neat trick where she makes the upstage eye invisible by changing the outline and fill alpha to zero. It's made visible (step key) just as the head turns front.

Overall, it's a basic approach, but done with good knowledge of animation principles. For example, she has the head look down in an arc during the turn, which effectively hides the switch. She knows her stuff. :)

Fun to watch, but like already mentioned, I couldn't understand what was being said. :(

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful work.
Maybe somebody could fix your audio for you?
It's a shame that the audio isn't clear, but I did get the jist of it.
It was very clever how you made the right eye seamlessly appear as though it was one smooth movement..

Really smooth turn and very nice eye expressions.
