Just finished this MTV Ident for kicks. Thought it would look ok.

nice. I like the character's stumble at the end. It gave a real sense of motion

Looks pretty sweet...Think you could explain the process? How'd you do the skate board rotating?

I filmed real skaters and edited a short 15 second snippet. I then used the paint tool (every frame) to draw out the rider, board, trucks and elements in separate layers. The rider is on gradients.

Cheers for the feedback. Loaded Boards saw it and now there is somethin going on.

Sweet. Good work lordybob. I would have went through the same process too frame by frame. That just goes to show this motion work is not for anyone but perfectionists and people who like working with details.
