Animation Smears, Wild Takes and Strong Poses from "Woodstock Slappy"

Animation Lesson:

 

1.  Here are some in-between smears that intensify the acting and animation in "Woodstock Slappy."

Slappy leans in on Skippy with a smear face stretch.    



 

Slappy makes a fast, single-frame gestures toward the stage... 

 



Slappy uses her arms to beseech Skippy to answer the question that's driving her crazy:   "Who's on stage?"








Skippy stretches up then goes down into a squash and freaks out as Slappy sings along with her accordion.

  






2.  Some wild takes from "Woodstock Slappy." 

Slappy wakes up to the song stylings of a screaming Janis Joplin... 
 

 



 





3.  And here are some excellent strong poses and acting from director Audu Paden and his brilliant crew of artists, story-boarders and animators on "Woodstock Slappy,"  helped by some great vocal performances by Sherri Stoner, Nate Ruegger and the rest of the cast.
