How to Break Into Animation...

 A quiet motivational speech by Steve Hickner-Dreamworks Director, from CTN Animation Expo 2009.Going through his past 30 years of experience in the industry, he gives lots of practical advice and hints on how to get into the animation industry, pitfalls to avoid in it and surviving as well. I really like the way he explained all the incidents with a touch of humor and the points or advices like 'always ask for opportunities not money' and the smart ways of convincing employers, interacting with colleagues etc.....Even though its a bit old video...i would like to share in ma blog because it really motivated me and if u missed to watch.....the video is right here....

Perfect Imperfection




I came across an interesting article from Cameron Fielding's blog  FLIP, a small research done about the
body movements, arcs and spacing from live action to animation. He is digging into the details of arcs and pointing out some imperfections in perfections of arcs from live movements that we animators used to avoid
in the final polishing of animation. I personally  feel like this article will help animators working in games n live action movies because this studies can be applicable in some kinda animation styles. I think its worth while to read this very informative article and have to say thanks to Cameron for sharing.... :)
