Cut-out animation part 2 - More rigging tips - OpenToonz Tutorial

This video shows more tips for working with a cut-out character in OpenToonz, expanding on last week's 2-part BB-8 rigged character. This week I show a more-detailed, more-realistically sized character, a skeleton, which more more likely match the number of moving parts your characters will have. I discuss the differences in using fully "boned" characters, versus partially frame by frame ones and using the plastic tool to add some flexibility to a rigged character. I try to speed through the demos as quickly as I can, speeding up the drawing where necessary, so you're not just watching me draw, but there's a lot to get through and I pack in as many tips as I can along the way, but if you want to skip through the video, here's the list of topics I cover.
