I'm currently in full steam to produce backgrounds for my new series Fair Game. Here's how I use the admittedly half-baked 3D features of Moho for 2D animation backgrounds. SneakyPeek Blog: https://kilianmuster.com/fairgame Official Site:...

Vlog: Fair Game – Announcement

While Shadywoods is making the rounds through film festivals, here's the latest thing I'm working on: Fair Game, a sci-fi steampunky sitcom. I will be doing everything, design, animation, direction, all voices (unless someone wants to do a voice for free). And I...

Oldie But Goldie: Squash & Stretch

Squash & stretch is as old as animation itself and I’ll show you how you can use it to free your puppet animation from the rigid shackles of a bone structure (or at least make it look like it was). Flipping Head Turns!...
