imotion (Tutorial)

Here is a short tutorial in how to use imotion to create an animation. Your task is to use a character and create a short animated movie with this character moving around.
You may want to build a set like in the tutorial or you might try to green screen your animation and find a scene to smash it into.
I am very interested to see what you can come up with this afternoon.
