(Animation)Making of Gladiator

There are several elements that I like about this animation:

Firstly comes the character design as through the years, it is this particular style, that I found amusing just by itself. There is an appeal in its simplicity. Personally I would like to master it for the creation of illustrations on various subjects.

Secondly the way action happens within the screen. There is no real movement, except for the lips and individual limbs that is used to emphasise the mood, word spoken and make characters appear more realistic. This approach would not work for a lengthy production but as this is in a category of a small sketch, it works perfectly.
