Pixar Class Week 2
Not showing anticipation-----feel like some other force applied to
accelerate until foot leaves
after contact frame-----spacing is getting more small
need show very obvious contact frame!!
it is difficult to stay at the same place when the torso moves so much spaces-----step forward
contact frame is STRAIGHT
at least 3 frames are required to let audience see what it going on the screen
heavy ball takes a lot more frames to stop-----root is the heaviest part of the body(ball)
every frame should be able to tell a story-----posing is very important
Polish Checklist
Show People
Pose++
(Drag) Loosen Body
PBJ-----Physics Believable Jiggly
Intersection
Arcs&Spacing-----trace root, nose, wrists, elbows, feet and knees
Show People!!
Trace nose-----can see what causes weird movement going on the torso
Jiggling-----(ex, 4frames-6frames-8frames start move around with 4 frames)
GLEN KEANE-----TILT, RHYTHM, TWIST
SEE contact poses!! not only feet but hands, contact pose is straight!
Neck-----massage overall shape of the torso

Pixar 1 class notes week 1
Pixar Class Week 1
A brief summary of my first pixar class, oh, it seems like there are a lot of great animators are there :D
Rhythm, Timing, Beat
Rhythm-----pattern, texturing, timing
Learning drawing is vital!
Anticipation------every movement in animation should have
Arc-----every single thing in body should have
No overshoot, no energy
exaggerate first and then pull it back until it's fit with animation(Don't be afraid of exaggerating too much)
focus on PRINCIPLES-----staging, posing, anticipation (mainly missed)
Rhythm, Timing, Spacing-----nail them down FIRST
KEEP IT SIMPLE
They never seen good timing and spacing for Jump assignment
contact frame-----right before and after the energy applies, foot touches the ground, stretch legs
look for contact poses-----key
video reference-----cool motion, we could get the acting that people can't think of consciously
video-reference-----push things more, search what makes animation unique
show 5 times before dailies
be careful the gap between keys-----graph editor
Smooth out until the keys faded out-----I don't know which frame is the keys, ease-in and ease-out
