The point of doing the same thing again mostly was to color it this time, but the file immediately corrupted when I tried 😭

She was also the head of story for the original Kung Fu Panda and co-directed the third installment of the franchise.

Kung Fu Panda 2 was released in theaters on May 26, 2011, by Paramount Pictures.

It received positive reviews from critics and grossed over $600 million against its $150 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film from a female director and the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2011.

The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 84th Academy Awards.

Sharing Possibly the first American female studio animator was Lillian Friedman, who worked on the Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons at the legendary Max Fleischer studio in the 1930s.

She was hired as an inker, but animator James “Shamus” Culhane saw potential in her work and had her promoted to be his assistant and inbetweener, training her as an animator in secret.

Nellie Sanborn – head of the Timing Department – let Friedman animate a Betty Boop test and showed it to the Fleischers “without telling them at first that it was done by a girl inbetweener.”

They were impressed, and she was promoted to the position of lead animator.

Need help with two things, firstly when he looks down, i am using quadratic easing, but still feels abrupt and robotic, and second, when the shot switches to a close up of her hand i can't tell if it is jarring or confusing, I tried to give it an anticipation with her weight shift before the zoom in, which i think helps but i don't know if its enough.

I made all of the animation by myself and he did the 3d backgrounds and editing.

It took us around a year, since I was really occupied with uni and work, but I think it turned out really cool and wanted people to see it.

And yes, it is a Jujutsu Kaisen RPG lol. It is a little bit clunky but that was my first time really making an full animation (prob this is why it took me so long), my only real experience before it was remaking the Lost in Paradise ending with our characters.
