Re: character animation reference video

Okay, but you're doing this backwards. First: Decide what you want to animate. Something. Then you look for reference for that.

Reference doesn't dictate what you create, you dictate what reference you use.
It's the equivalent of asking people to show you every cool video they can think of so that you might get a random idea from one of them.

Re: character animation reference video

okay, but now be more specific. I can list a hundred movies of the top of my head, let alone TV shows that are 'funny and exaggerated', but it might not be funny or exaggerated to someone else.
Usually when you ask for reference, you give an example of what you are trying to achieve with a certain scene goal. What you're asking is so vague it's almost useless.

But here you go. I just hope you understand why your request is nonsensical.

Re: character animation reference video

please don't take work created by other animators as a strong basis. It's a good reference to see how they did certain things, but it's wrong to use it as the base.
