More Animation Process from ParaNorman

Even this long after seeing Laika's ParaNorman, I am still extremely impressed every time I see some snippets of the process behind it. This one shows a bit about how all of the different departments worked together to make Angry Aggie.

Animation Workflow: Joe Bowers

Disney animator Joe Bowers has done an interview where he breaks down some shots he did on Disney's Tangled and Bolt. He breaks down everything from timing and spacing to squash and stretch. Some really amazing tips from a good animator. Plenty of nuggets in there from his time with Glen Keane as well.

CG Coach: The Feature Animation Process

Hey Everyone

I recently found this post over on CG Coach's Blog. It breaks down the feature animation process with definitions and plenty of examples. All the way down the line from: Story, Layout, Modeling, Texturing, Rigging, Animation, Surface Shading, Lighting and Rendering, FX and Compositing. It has breakdowns for just about all of these and seems really helpful. Check it out here: The Feature Animation Process.

Check out the site as well CG Coach, seems like a great resource. Look around and enjoy.
