This month we start with four excellent community examples: a successful YouTube series with 3D monsters at a bar, a cartoon pencil narrating design tutorials, a deranged wizard with full-faced lip sync, and a skeleton with smooth head turns. Then we answer your mailbox questions about MIDI support, using puppets for video chat apps like Skype, and how to add foreground and background elements to your scene. Then we'll finish with some tips for making claymation style characters.
