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
