ok it's a little early for christmas but i was playing around with an excellent 'ball tutorial' by Dr Ken Kopecky: http://www.kenkopecky.com/hexels-2-5-animation-looping/ The 5 minute lessons learnt from his blog enabled me to experiment with moving bodyparts without drawing every frame - and i just kept rolling (pun definitely intended). i used this technique on the character Kevin's - body, hands, head and mouth and then used traditional drawn animation for the arms and legs. the animated christmas lights are changes in opacity over time and the dressed mannequin movement is simply a 'squash' and 'rotate' over time also. The final 'gif' lighting looks slightly different from this video and is on my blog here: http://markknight78.tumblr.com/image/153487940142 and is just for reference. i'd rather you stay here on youtube :) Thanks Mark
