Timing in Animation: Animation Mentor Newsletter

Hey Everyone

I ran across this quick article on Timing from the Animation Mentor Newsletter. It's written by an animator named Kenny Roy and you can check out his blog here. He does a great job in describing his thoughts on working through timing in a workflow and especially early on when you are still trying to figure out what timing is. He mentions an "inner monologue," which is a great way to do your non-dialogue pieces. So take a look and get some tips to one of the most important principles of animation. Timing!

Tips on Body Mechanics

The Animation Mentor Newsletter came today and it had some small tips on body mechanics from Wayne Gilbert. An animator that I feel is one of the best at explaining and breaking down simple planning for working through your body mechanics exercises. Lots of what he says can be found in his book on his site www.anamie.com. You can sign up for the newsletters here. They are always a good resource and great updates on the industry.



So check it out. More on body mechanics to follow. An older post with some more on Wayne Gilbert here.
