response to animating like pixar pros article

What I learned

1. It's important for a person to have some life experience to imbue their characters with.

2. If you're animating something that you never did before, try breaking it down into simple components. (If color-coding parts works for pixar, you might want to try that.)

3. Keep things simple, and if they don't work get rid of them.

My Opinions

1. I don't think I'd just scrap an idea that didn't seem to work, I'd probably just keep working with it repeatedly until I can figure out how to fix it.

2. I'm pretty sure stealing is a bad idea, but begging and borrowing are okay things to do.



How long did it take to make a Terri-Terry walk cycle?

class this week

1. I learned that there is a texture in Maya that looks like moving water, so I shall check that out at some later point in time.

2. I'd like to learn to animate quicker.

3. I was frustrated by the storyboard for the final project and blogs.

4. I was happy that I got a new computer and I was happy with my independent study`s progress. (Kevin's whining was not so pleasant.)
