The Bridge Troll (Animated piece)

I have always want­ed to make car­toons, but I only start­ed ani­mat­ing for the first time about 2 years ago.
It has been lots of fun play­ing around, and I have recent­ly start­ed post­ing some very short clips of ani­ma­tion on Vimeo and Youtube.

I start­ed with some celebri­ty impres­sions, but I have now decid­ed to start using the basis of the voice to cre­ate new characters.
So I was recent­ly doing Bil­ly Con­nol­ly impres­sions, and start­ed ad-lib­bing dia­logue, when I thought his voice would be a good inspi­ra­tion for the voice of a troll char­ac­ter. I Then start­ed sketch­ing the char­ac­ters. I record­ed the dia­logue and start­ed ani­ma­tion.
It’s only a short 15 sec­ond clip, but I have big­ger plans for these characters.

What I find fun about these is I have com­plete cre­ative con­trol over the char­ac­ters. I design, voice and ani­mate them.
