More testing in dragon frame with cut outs

So today gave me a good idea on what i need to do to make sure I'm fully prepared to start animating, and i need to start thinking about getting stuck in next week!!

Most of the cut outs worked really well, i still need to work on the walk cycle and the little girl, the 2 most difficult animation parts... great!

So heres the clips i did today that went really well, (or ok).

The feather worked brilliantly!! i'm very pleased with that, and with an extra bit of time spent on this i could make it quite beautiful.

Above are the tests that worked ok, still maybe need a slight tweaking, but if the shots are short enough they maybe ok for what i need. 

This was the worst!! i did the movements too fast, so on the next one i just tried the legs and replaced them less frequently which worked a lot better yet the legs are still not right. 

Below is the crow test, which was again awful, i need to use full cut outs and replace for a better look. 

So, i kind of know what i need to do to get stuck in with my cut outs. 

And then start testing with my main puppet... oh please god work!!!!
