No Way! Shup! Animazoo Newness!

It's release time again! It's funny because Hawks was telling me this morning that I'm not so much a fashionista as I am the reviewer of animations. What do you call a person like that besides dancista? Especially when it's much more than just dances? :D Hah! Anywho, no fancy effects, just me demonstrating newness from Animazoo in my photosphere to the tune of Dr. Demento - Fish Heads (cause *I* can). :p


This release marks the beginning of a new concept for Animazoo animations - different sized animations for different avis. Also included in this release (by popular demand) is the first set of ready made, modifiable gestures made by Animazoo.

New gestures:
play coy 1.2
bow 1.1
bow 1.2 (female)
Animazoo curtsey 1
Animazoo curtsey 2
Animazoo curtsey 3
Animazoo whoa!
whoa! (surprised)

The focus for this release has been on male AO, as the female AO stole the show on the last release! There are however some new female animations, a new dance and of course a new freebie!

Male AO:
As before, Dave has used an open source AO (ZHAO II). This means that you pay only for the animations in the AO. The AO is preconfigured with three different mood notecards for both sizes of avi - that's 6 different configurations using over 30 animations!

New animations:
Animazoo dance 14.2
cutsie stand 1.0 (2 sizes)
Animazoo model pose 5.0
male run 1.0
male standing 3 (2 sizes)
male standing 4 (2 sizes)
male standing 5
tapping feet (3 sizes)

Blended (i.e partial) animations:
hands behind back 1.0
hands on hips shuffle 1.2
scratch head (3 sizes)
wave 1.3

This months freebie:
crab 1.0

New @ Animazoo

Dave Bellman of Animazoo has released 5 new dances today.

• Dance 12
• Dance 14
• Animazoo dance 11
• Animazoo dance 9
• Animazoo dance 10

This release is a little confusing as the dances are still numbered & conflict others at his store. The Macarena (a free anim offered at Animazoo) is also named Dance 10. What he has done is added the word "Animazoo" in front of this newly released dance 10, that is nothing like the Macarena. *shrugs* I still love the dances. It would be easier if he did name them other than numbers like Gillian said, "I wish they would come up with more original names so I didn't have like 25 "dance xx" in my animation folder."

As usual I've put together a video to show the new dances, but to kill two birds with one stone, I've added surfing footage & played with effects. Hawks & I are debating on new editing software, so I need to see what limits I can push with WMM. Enjoy...
