<p>The Star Wars Wicket and Chewie animation / e-card I had been working on late last year is finally up and posted on <a href="http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ecard|10001|10051|896814|147551;-102001;181568;-102062|ecard|P1R2S|ecards?&amp;totalCategories=54&amp;sortBySelect=&amp;categoryId=-102062">Hallmarks site</a>. If I had a little more time I would have liked to have added a few more sound effects however, I think it turned out pretty good. Wicket and Chewie were a blast to work on and I was super excited that Lucas liked the designs and approved them along with the initial animatic I did below. The story, art, directing and key frame poses/animation were done by me based on my animatic, all in vector with a few raster files for texture. A big thanks to my pal Will Sanchez for doing the in between animation and really plusing it all up, Will&#8217;s a jedi animator! I&#8217;m hoping I can do more of these e-cards with a variety of characters from the Star Wars universe. I have a bunch of ideas brewing so I know the force is with me! LOL!<br />
Below is the original pencil animatic I did so you can see the before and after.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the final flash animation</p>
