Rotoscope gif (after page break)

For my Moving Images class, we had to do a quick rotoscope of this couple. They were dancing to some sort of incredibly annoying song.
For mine, I just rotoscoped the girl.
It's a little over a second long, so I turned it into a gif so it can be viewed however long you want without having to press "play" again.
I'm putting it under the page break, because it features a lot of fast-moving lines and changing colours, and is therefore potentially dangerous to people with epilepsy.

Actually...

Actually, it may not be blogger this time.
It might be the fact it's an mp4.

Either I'm going crazy, or the mp4 file is a little less synced than the mov.
So, here is the same animation from before in both .mov and .mp4 formats.
Please tell me that someone else sees the audio as starting later in the mp4.

.mov:

.mp4:

Lip Sync Animation

For Animation 1, we needed to do a lip sync animation using top-lit cut outs. In order to get the audio, my classmates and I went around and interviewed people in the school. I used the answer from my Writing and Literature professor. I made him Don Quixote, because he is Don Quixote.

Originally, he was going to swat away a creature I never made. When I got to the lab, I realized my paper wasn't set up to the orientation of the camera, so I worked with it. Instead of scrapping everything and starting over, I made it look like my gaffe was completely deliberate. I like it better this way, though. I feel like it's more dynamic.

And this time the video is an mp4, so if it doesn't work, it's Blogger.
I'd rather not have to go to youtube if I don't have to.

EDIT

So yeah, it's blogger. When I run the video without it being on blogger, the audio is still slightly out of sink, but not as crazily as it is here. Does anyone else have these issues with blogger?

Another WIP of that viking guy


So I worked a little more on this charming fellow. He's gonna have stubble at the very least once I've gotten him all filled in.
Those random white bits floating above the skull side will make more sense once I start actively working on that side. I'm avoiding it like the plague, however, because I'm not entirely sure how to tackle it just yet. However, I will get there.
I'm happy with it so far, but I'm sorely regretting my lack of white charcoal pencils. I'm trying to make the two I have last.
I WILL make the two I have last.

Sorry for the lousy cell phone picture again!
