Facial expression testing

Another issue which became apparent whilst watching my first draft of my short animation was that the expressions of the cat during the close ups needed to be more animated and sometimes varied. To really engage with the viewer the cats expression needs to clearly show what it is feeling and what it might do next. I decided to make a short test sequence for a number of different expressions to see how I can get the cats face to move. I think some of the shots worked quite well, however others need a little more work to make them more exaggerated and cartoon-like.
