One thing that I remind our animators at work is to avoid anticipating your anticipations. It just ends up looking funky-junky. I'd prefer to see something run a little smoother than that. Thanks for the great feedback! Glad this one hit upon a need. :o)<BR/><BR/>-kKeith Langohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496328772372705317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-1111419116049942172005-03-21T09:31:00.000-06:002005-03-21T09:31:00.000-06:00Great, no, fantastic tutorial!

Perhaps that would be to much contrast.

My bad on that one. And yes, you could look at contrast in motion as a sort of pre-anticipation, but I'm not sure that ideal applies across the board. It's just a good mnemonic to help figure out how to settle something. You'll still need anticipations for moves regardless of the hold direction in almost all circumstances anyhow.<BR/>-kKeith Langohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496328772372705317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-1111352629056885752005-03-20T15:03:00.000-06:002005-03-20T15:03:00.000-06:00Hey Keith,Great stuff and very useful!

I find, like you, that the process of laying something out for students really helps me get a handle on the concept myself. Of course, it's even better if someone else does it for you!<BR/><BR/>Two other comments:<BR/>1. You flip around between avis and quicktime movies. Not really a problem, but I prefer quicktimes for a couple of reasons. You can scrub them properly and they don't automatically rewind. (I think there may be a setting in media player to fix this; I just can't find it) The rewind thing is important for something like this tutorial because it's really hard to see the holds at the end of the animations if they pop back to frame one. <BR/>2. The contrast concept is great. It's kind of like a mini antic, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Pat<BR/>pat@patrickmcnabb.com<BR/>www.patrickmcnabb.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-1111208532348543642005-03-18T23:02:00.000-06:002005-03-18T23:02:00.000-06:00Wow Keith, you're so giving of your time for the l...Wow Keith, you're so giving of your time for the love of animation.

I wonder if you can use someting like this on your animation clips that you post in tutorials, for showing frame number.<BR/><BR/>http://www.jonathanrnelson.com/tutorials/dailes/daiies.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
