"To enable you to animate walks... or anything else you want to." "From the very basic... to the most sophisticated." "The method..." "We'll apply any kind of animation were the C.G., "coot D."... stop-motion or games." "We'll be learning." "And will be relearning." "The basics... we'll build upon them layer... by layer... by layer." "Until we mass to them." "STARTING RIGHT" "I think there two kind of the animation." "I think there's." "The first thing any student does or you draw as a kid school book." "in the math book or something." "You animated little figures in ball you change tend change one thing into another." "You morph." "From any student film." "Have a trade turn the a frog, turn into a woman into a car, into a airplaine into what ever." "All animation based on change." "I think." "So you're changing one thing to another." "And that last about five minutes." "Can you can't stand them anymore." "However interesting it's." "You just unplug after five minutes." "And other kind animation is drawings or images." "Computer images them walking talk." "Which that will sustain for for a hundred minutes." "72 minutes." "Of kids effective have key." "So obviously we're going change we're going choose." "Images a walk and talk." "So..." "Change still as we'll see of the four base." "Change still apply's." "To everything you do." "Any always this methods..." "All show you of..." "Limbering things up." "His what to do you get more bang for the buck." "When then the movement..." "You're gain a have more change." "And you can use these things any most crudely." "Or you can use in an extremely subtly." "And from the computer animation as far's I can see." "The... great think about computer." "animation." "Is the you can be incredible subtle." "You can do tiny moves." "So..." "This is..." "You use same method you use... incrementally tiny." "Or can use very broadly." "I learn would I know from same the great animators for the "Golden Age of Animation"." "They invented the system in method our going study the sixteen DVD's." "Unfortunately for me" "I had to learn the hard way over years and years." "I end a pan ploing some my teachers." "In other here learn full nam another who just friends."

"Would a ker." "But based solidly one basics." "I really on thinks there is any more." "In this sections." "Your going study over four hundred... specials animated the exemples." "We'll begin with basics stuff like the bouncing ball." "And fundamental things like... timing." "And spacing." "This sections... are both highly learn." "What need to do... in order to learn." "You can just tip any I would... a summer different subjects." "Like walks." "accents, vibrates,... dialogue in anticipation." "Well,... are last your home!" "But I recommend you swallow the whole pale." "Start from the basics." "And than move on layer by layer." "True." "To the sophisticated use the basics." "Would be showing how to think about animation." "By showing post positions." "And then full animation." "Will show how animated." "And also have not too." "What this is... to get limber." "this... you get these." "To get... snap you do that." "Any billet." "Any is." "Craftsman like way..." "like a carpenter." "That you draws."

"Will we need to do... our intelligence scribbles." "Your gaining knowledge we need do it." "There's no substitute for it." "For all the 2D animators." "Drawing should becomes second nature." "So the we concentrate on the actor actions." "And the timing of them." "And give the performance life." "Ask a model to move through series... of the quick relate to short poses." "Use slightly transparent paper." "Working for the bottom of the pan out." "So, they can see why the previous drawing as." "The pose she last thirty of forty seconds."

"Immediately were work will double... in quality." "I then about constant probably." "Is very interesting." "From the San Francisco class.... we did... couple of guys in while brain computer animators." "We'll went see they said... good a work is absolutely... way bad our mean Monday morning."

"Precise..." "System..." "And..." "Simple." "It was great minds... the took animation from a crude innovate." "Try to a major formule and entertainment..." "In just twelve years." "This is history." "The what they were studio just valid today." "Using all advance technology." "With these DVD's..." "I really recommended: start of the beginning in the work your way through." "Many animated use have my book." "And they use for reference." "Are doing sneak." "So I look up." "But if you take the time... these sessions will save you."
