Homemade Werewolf (and Werecat) Animation, Part 2 (Werewolf/Werecat Transformations)

This is a sequel to my earlier post on amateur/homemade animation. Let's start with this fast but very fluid werewolf transformation:




The same artist, Eric Strother, surpasses this with a superb and beautifully smooth puma transformation--look at how the entire process occurs in one shot, with no cutaways:




Next comes a finely detailed werewolf transformation from Luis M. Pérez Suárez, showing a gentleman enjoying his change into a well-muscled lycanthrope. This TF uses cutaways to good effect:




We'll take a brief detour out of 2D animation with "An American Werewolf in Maya." I think this is better than many of the transformations we see in computer-animated cartoons:




An anonymous comment on my earlier post reminded me that I forgot to include one of the greatest amateur werewolf animations of them all. Created back in 2004 by William Short of "Voria Studios", this is a definite classic:

In many respects it's an example of the archetypal modern werewolf transformation: shots of the expanding back developing ridges and bursting through clothing, extreme muscle growth, and snout formation--all accomplished with cinematic direction and an excellent soundtrack of moans, groans, and snarls.
