Animation Inflences

As i am on the way to animating i have decided to look at other animations to inspire me with my own... i can look on youtube for videos of people acting out the movements i want to help with the body movements.. but i will look primarially at animations to get a sense of what style i would like to go for....

This first scene i am animating has the character sleepwalking so i have already looked at real life footage of people sleepwalking but the piece of animation i looked at was a piece from Wallace and Gromit.. the movements of the character reminded me of the scene of 'The Wrong Trousers' where Wallace is fast asleep while the ''chicken'' is controlling the trousers with Wallace strapped in them....

The reason i looked at this animation is because the character Wallace is fast asleep and yet still moving around without his knowing... the animation is very exaggerated and a similar swing in his arms and head is something i would like to capture in my animation.

To get a better sense of the animation you can look at it via this link below.....
