Go bigger!

You have all the right ideas for sure but its all just a little too restrained.

Go bigger with all your poses and build more arcs into the inbetweens. Remember, animation is a caricature of life,...

A good idea Claire. I'm glad you're avoiding the 'giving up if it doesn't work' syndrome. We experienced animators can give the student everything but 'experience'. In my opinion, experience is what...

Remember on head turns that things always move on arcs. In other words, if a face is looking to the left and...

Hi muurtikaar.

Very quickly....

It doesn't really matter with this exercise if you shoot it on one's or two's. The important thing is that the action works. You would probably see it better if...

Hi Rach3.

I agree with Larry about the final head position. I also agree you did a nice head turn.

Now try one more thing...

Before your initial turn, add a little 'anticipation' to it. ...

Hi guys.

I have to be quick on this as I'm off to my (very!) early morning class right now. However, if what you're talking about is building a simple animation stand, here's a great link...

Yes, the book will be dealing with pretty much everything animation/computer related in terms of RSI, Carpal Tunnel, eye conditions and other painful issues. I'm still piecing the final...

Thanks for your responses. I hadn't heard about the electric eraser problems Cooker and I've never used on myself. I always believe that 'natural is best' so I've...
