AUDITION
CONVERSATIONS:
The
purpose
of
these
is
to
allow
the
animator
to
showcase
their
ability
to
act
through
a
character
as
well
as
show
off
the
characters
on
our
part.
Before
you
begin
animating,
we
highly
recommend
watching
Inanimate
Insanity
II
Episodes
7,
8
and
9
thoroughly
to
understand
how
the
characters
move
and
interact.
Also,
Niall
created
his
own
audition
for
the
last
animation
test
which
shows
off
some
very
good
character
animation.

Fan
and
Knife
Fan:
Knife!
We
have
a
problem!
We’re
in
an
endless
white
void!
THERE’S
NO
BACKGROUND.
Knife:
Wait,
so…
there’s
really
endless
possibilities
here!
Fan:
What
are
you
talking
about!
*panting*
Knife:
Whoa
dude
you
should
calm
down.
Why
not
try
flying
off
that
pillar!
Fan:
Sure!
*camera

Fan
on
pillar,
Fan
flies
off
of
pillar,
spreads
his
fan
full
out*
Weeee!
*Hits
invisible
wall,
falls
to
ground*
Wow,
that
hurt!
Knife:
Endless
possibilities!
Hahahaha!

not
provide
