Hi Chin2 - most people have their very own hands which they carry around with them wherever they go. So the easiest way to learn about hand animation is to hold your hands out in front of you and observe what happens when you wiggle your fingers. Really, it's that simple. You'll notice for example that if you curl one finger the others will naturally follow; your fingers don't move much from side to side but your thumb can have a field day. Act out your animation and, if you're doing your own modelling read up on hand rigs as they'll save you time and avoid weird, twisty hand shapes.

There seems to be something wrong with the end... the Virgin media bit cuts over it!
Liked what I saw though, good luck!

Thanks for the comments. I originally made this for a much shorter competition hence no helicopter chase, love interest or sibling in the attic.

Haha! Nice, simple idea. Have a look at our entry, "Mr. Alice", and let us know what you think!
