"If just start animated in straight ahead." "You often end up in a frenzy you staff." "And after two or three hours of it." "You decide... you rather be doing something else of your life." "Over the years..." "The great animators develop the solid working approach." "A method." "Has how we go about." "So the get on the get on ten upping drawings." "Or in a case the computer your end up." "Way really then one a way then one be." "So way we start." "What you do first." "Then what you do." "And what you do after that and after that." "Let's take." "We've take a basic walk." "A Monday in walk something without much character to it." "And will the begin the block it out." "Will start with the key positions." "And then Extreme Position." "WORKING METHODS" "Now this is the important thing." "Keys and Extremes." "I'm go a circle keys." "I mean, animators is love curves." "An curves is beautiful the watch." "So, they tend the circle is drawings." "You know, the drawing..." "The drawing 1." "Here's 5 and circle in then and..." "You know." "An circle in 3." "I had a polish animator ones." "Step in." "He would..." "He would go on the page." "This is." "He you go..." "This is would take this column." "We go 1, 2, 3, 4." "Five and would just..." "Circles all we them the page of the numbers." "He say:" " What you doing that for it?" "He said:" " Animation is round circles, lovely, lovely." "So, we love." "We love circles." "But idea was." "The your key." "Is a..." "A stroytelling, drawing." "The keys are quite..." "You can use a key as an extreme." "But extremes are not keys, ever see what ever you." "Your key drawings." "They are the storytellings drawings." "If we you did stick figures story board." "Or god story board..." "And I then just going walking, and pick up this." "And are gone write something here." "If I would do draw then on story board." "I probable draw the character come in, all right." "That would be drwaing 1 maybe." "That would be a key, all right." "Was the next storytelling drawing." "It is in here." "It is in..." "It is in..." "It's here." "It is in this step." "It is in that." "It's this." "Is touching." "The contact." "Drawing." "Storytelling Drawing." "Key." "Key." "Key." "Is probable the end having write, something." "That's how we thing about it." "What your keys." "You can then fill them." "Or if your, your position." "In a computer." "Here's the creature." "Whatever!" "He does this." "And does that." "Three." "Key positions." "And circle on." "Now with are..." "Would the graphic animation." "You..." "You would draw." "You my figure out litlle." "Litlle tiny drawings." "Does key." "And then, you do a this on drawing of the character." "You do, your first position." "You get on nice drawing, of this guy here." "And then, you get a nice drawing, here." "And nice drawing there." "You void it guy your three." "Storytelling things." "You can the feel won, then won a video." "The director will know what's happening." "You can see the timing." "Crudely from those three." "And your." "We've got confidence." "The extremes." "Would be." "What the next important drawings." "We got this key." "Obviously." "The next thing your going do." "To draw." "Having got in this three." "Fence post or supports or pillars." "Is, this, step." "His gone a go here." "All right." "That." "And we're going the call this contact drawing." "Now we're the foot is down." "And circle on when is down here taking the way." "I's gonna be." "Extreme I mean key." "Extreme we're there." "The of the he'll contact the ground." "Or is the maybe the,... thing who contact it's all the ones." "The whole foots, but... for say it can argument." "Were contacts." "That's should next important drawing, all right." "The next one." "The next extreme is can be that, drawing." "Were contact the next foot." "And, I would say maybe." "I think did I invert I do that." "If I, lift my pen slightly to." "So, is not po... the stretch done." "I think I do that in invert, you know." "Ok!" "So." "Key." "Contact which is an extreme." "Contact which is an extreme." "That's an extreme." "Then next one be the contact." "Just were's on the fingers is touching." "And, then." "Do I be interesting..." "All is." "Passing position in here I'm not sure." "But would be the start of the writing." "And then we end." "And those would be our extremes." "Today everybody is call." "In normal animation there calling extremes, keys and Key Animators is in robbish." "Milt Khal was the Key Animator." "And he did key see is in first." "Is that was the true over." "And when I finally got to see him working a lot." "I say:" " What you do circle let drawing, see don't let's my key drawing?" "I say:" " Would mean." "Let's drawing I'm working on." "That's important drwaing." "I remember." "I when the Frank Thomas when day." "On the work on the rest cat." "And..." "He's drawing this cat up a tree." "Smiling..." "Chatting it gap lady is so are like this I don't know." "Like this." "Upping the tree." "This scene the song or this he's chat go up lady cat." "Down here." "And he said:" " God have done on this God Dammit drawing all day." "I mean..." "I mean now I this I can't get right, you know I'm..." "Having a terrible job, I said..." "I said:" " Having a terrible job?" "Doing one drawing?" " God how's even going getting any work out." "You know, he's penny all day." "Doing one drawing." "Or all afternoon." "And..." "Would later..." "I realize of course." "What is doing." "What's doing the key." "He's gone that's the important drawing and scene for him." "And is working and all what it." "Is gone use that, is bring into that drwaing is goning we." "Stay there in do." "He's performances." "Base to around that drawing." "So that is a vital drawing." "He has to get right." "Now what happen's often." "Having done, having done you were..." "Say we got this one." "Having done this one." "Having got in this is one's down here." "Or the extremes." "Maybe in anticipation you might putting another extreme, here." "Before we touches it." "You might find by time you get down there." "You one change the foot, or you one change the arm, or you one..." "You just an fell, one change so you're rather be of out." "You change you're key." "That's often happens." "All right." "Then you come upping interesting way and then new right." "You do this." "Extreme drawings." "That's how of the think about." "You're come." "You're gone..." "In the minute your gone to come... the next complication which is the drawing between." "Drawing 1." "And the first contact." "Between the key." "And say the first contact." "Which gonna be the passing position." "In a walk." "Or the breakdown." "I never know what collet." "I means is one this, it's... the middle position." "With come the this but, you can see." "In a walk in a normal persons walk." "We do this." "We do this steps first click." "Click, click draw this, draw that one, draw this one, draw all extremes." "And, the position on the middle in the normal." "Walk of a person." "The hip's go up." "And a head goes up, on the passing position." "Normally, so, drawing 1 up." "There is a passing position smack in the middle." "Tow, passing position." "Three, passing position." "Four, passing position." "Five, ok." "That's who we've think about walk." "So, here where the keys." "Which the tellingstory like a comic strip." "Here are the extremes." "Most to than are contacts." "Now, break the scene in down into the middle position." "Call the passing positions or breakdowns." "Then we add our inbetweens." "And we done the scene." "Now we know the functions of the keys." "The extremes." "The breakdowns or passing positions." "And the inbetweens." "I'm we've got everything get order." "So, this is are basic the massive the bill the scene." "Will be doing much more interesting things with there later on." "Of couse the, fan see stuff comes later on." "What we're showing, is the way the think about it." "And way, to go about doing it." "So, we look now at the three ways the animator's work." "And will find the best way." "The first is the Straight Ahead Method." "Three ways." "Three ways to animate." "Which is just start drawing." "Like a kiddy in a corner in the math book." "Would just catch your pay any you." "Think what you gonna do." "Take a did graph an start." "And, what happen is the you get a wonderful flow." "Flow spontaneity." "Things occur." "Invents occur strange things occur." "You're going start walking." "You know, he go..." "I'm..." "I'm walking straight ahead I me to my animate doing always drawing and I feel, and I" "Oh!" "look, camera." "All that's interesting." "I'm doing interesting movement here." "Oh!" "Were was a picking up the, well..." "Things occur." "And some them very nice." "Interesting things occur of this put." "The natural way." "See what happens." "It's fun!" "The bad thing about it." "Is..." "And you can put your numbers on after words." "You know, you do all is drawing unless they follow on the floor and youre really, wobble." "But, you can more fast in the he had form." "Puttings numbuers on after." "So, it's not complex." "But the bad part of is." "That is." "Things expand." "You lose the point." "Of the scene." "Thing see go lose." "The point the scene." "And sizes change." "Dramatically." "You know." "You're the animated a creature this size." "And has you're a his have a creativity he and up this size." "On this you're ty in walking on the straight plane." "You know." "Is there hilarious thing." "Ken Harris, is nice the work the use way the get there." "And we can had assistant in the end." "I do a bunch." "Stuff then you're angry say:" " Oh God Dammit the animted everything." "So, I get up then he doing." "Then he say:" " Oh!" "Are need so drawing he..." "We would go straight ahead kind of." "And my character, because the way he was the modest man." "Everything get small are and small are." "And would take over everything get big are and big are." "So, and then you're run a scene." "Then when be change violent." "We the seen the man we have the clean all upping fix all after." "So... and this is the way there... this is the way they did in the early days." "You know." "And the director of course hate you!" "because stay of having somebody come in say..." """ " My father is dead!"" "There coming in there...." ""My father is dead!"" "You know!" "Because there into animated it's flow man." "Flow!" "Say..." "So..." "The next method they were done... in this is..." "Ride afther..." "Ride round Three Little Pigs in thirty nineteen thirty three." "Was the POSE TO POSE method." "This a code of Disney same." "I'm sure they this a scientific approach to this stuff." "And they share when added in a scientific way." "When in a share added in a...." "Very practical." "Way test everything!" "Test everything!" "And figure this out." "Which is the pose to pose..." "Using key drawings." "And all circle on!" "Drawings..." "And this gave you..." "The PRO..." "Is the clarity." "The clarity what's happening." "You can test." "The director can see it, the producer can see it, you can see it!" "It's calculated." "And it's strong!" "Then what they tried to do with its." "Which will show... a show method." "The problem was then the go... nicely." "So, will if go a happy... follow." "Or known this say, he said." "He's gone go the happy." "Where we go in the middle." "The go nicely from want the other." "But..." "He know were the hell you are!" "You know how long the scene is!" "And your..." "Your doing your job." "I mean your fulfilling the function of the scene." "And..." "Is also very easy." "Easy to as is." "Easy..." "The producer love's your is because it's... you can put charts on it." "Charts!" "And have the assistant..." "have people doing the work." "Of lot the work." "And doesn't strange in the milk of the... say you have of one god animator is got a lot of territory." "He can do some... reader nice drawings or clear positions." "And ever body else can..." "When indication how every do it ever body else come than is label way." "Carrie a true" "So that be come for quite way..." "The method they used." "Oh!" "I haven put the... the contrary." "The CON is loss of flow." "And loss of spontaneity." "The studios make money it the stuff's working." "But it just have in the this in." "Three." "The best method." "Which we they develop later in do we system." "Is the combination of both, obviously." "Straight ahead." "Is what do, first:" "Is the plan small." "Thumbnail drawings." "The called, still called thumbnail drawings." "Little drawings what we doing on it spend much time." "I use to take my little drawings." "And of course has we know in the chrome little drawing." "Or the little half drawing." "You have somehow, they human study built into is." "Get's the shape everything." "Real clear." "We blower up." "And then I just try do an nice drawing on top this, thing." "if I didn't have known enormous trouble doing the big drawing." "Anyway." "The think is you're draw up you're keys." "That tell story." "And they usually are the story board drawings." "The second..." "The runny around thing Roger Rabbit." "The first minute there so..." "I did very, very carrier full color big, color magic marker drawings." "Which I used almost extremes in the end." "So the in short than as animatic." "So the Spielberg every body we come down." "And see would let's gone be good." "Then we just had thumbnail scribbles." "For all any around stuff in the kitchen." "I mean really scribbles, I mean that was the baby." "And that was the... his jumper for the.." "For the... clock pendulum." "I mean stuff like that." "And I don't..." "I can't member were there even shot to or not." "For in the film, I don't think we did." "But..." "I use goes littles scribbles." "And I did blue the map and did nice drawings on top than." "Then, do the contact drawings i.e., the drawings that" "have to be there." "If it's drawing are..." "I'm coming in here are gone push this forward." "I would in do were is grip it." "I would do just were they" "If the palm hitting were it's were the flash or bone ever this contacting." "The thing!" "That drawing is gone have to be there." "All right!" "And then is gone push!" "As another contact, as another extreme." "As another extreme, ok!" "So, an you can test does click, you can test that." "You know!" "Done click, click, click, click, click push!" "In test out see how the timing is how is, you got structure." "Have in done that we've now got the bast of the pose to pose method." "It's clear, and...." "Then do several straight ahead runs." "Do the primary thing." "The made thing." "In get right!" "In get right." "Real right." "You could say the only Warner Brothers cartoons." "The new only them the really funny one's." "And good one's." "Are would Ken stuff." "He just got the primary thing right." "On the Coyote or Bugs Bunny." "There was not" "A lot of the was an drapery or fur tail following or..." "Win blowing I mean we's always just..." "Clom!" "Clom!" "Would the main thing your gone set up the gag, tell in gag, in push in telling clear." "And it get at really right." "Real right!" "Was the Disney guys who would get, later." "Get the main thing really right." "And then add all other stuff." "Which create believe ability." "And laugh you to watch thing for a hundred minutes." "Instead of 8 minutes short." "So, the primary thing would be" "I would say... the passing position." "Here, the... all important things." "The little anticipate here." "Putting up here, maby that, maby this." "Domp!" "Domp!" "All right." "We've got!" "Get out right now." "You can also have..." "I'm might, before you do that" "These put quest in" "Break it..." "Breakdown!" "Roughly." "To putting in before..." "Roughly." "So, I talking about putting in passing... i.e." "passing positions." "This is very refinement." "But this is what I do of lot!" "Now it get all these drawings." "Then, take drawing one and then do straight ahead one." "On what's happening." "We've got your fence post." "But your running between fence post to 1 and fence post 2." "You next extreme." "You go straight ahead!" "Would the hips say." "Everything from a hips practically, dances, all is putting." "From a hips there it everything." "He do you run on a hips, all right!" "And you do or run on a hips obscuring through any run right through the scene what hips." "You might..." "Then you might ok I got get ahead right." "Know maby is the shoulders next" "Or the arms." "I'm gone right, run right through the scene would the shoulders." "Run got put the shoulders." "There more gone do another run." "Through the scene." "With the head." "Straigth ahead run." "There more gone do another run." "With the hair." "Say its a guy would the ponytail or its woman with longer hair or guy its longer hair." "That's gone be..." "The last thing in my do." "If was a dog, the tail would be the lasting it do" "So, here are the keys." "Which the tellingstory." "Like a comic strip." "Here, are the extremes." "Most the them are contacts." "Now the, we have a building blocks in place." "Will the straight ahead runs." "On top of are pose to pose." "Ok, now let's give in the wobbly head." "Now let's give in a ponytail." "Next let's add some drapery, say a scarf." "And there's no end to it." "So you breakdown, so you done have the break your brain." "Try in do evrything want's." "And is kind of a calculated." "You get a calculated building mechanism." "To putting keys extremes." "In a call blood fashion." "And we done need... numbers the drawings particularly." "Maybe the keys or something." "And need do the straight ahead runs." "In different colors however you do it" "Separate, separate." "And you get this wonderful flow." "Which is setting one of real nice structure." "All right." "The director still love's you, the producer love's you." "Times running out." "Because you to of lot a work." "What you get really wonderful rice out." "You get of beautiful flow." "And structure the same time." "And these the method the" "Milt and Frank all they on tale is particularly I don't think." "And Ken later." "Any do animator." "Disney who was a very good animator, who any do Pluto or something." "He would the have the whole scene..." "He do this scene finish." "Clean up" "Tested we've know tail." "And any the sit down the finish drawings in the put tell in working straight ahead." "That shows he's usually get much better effect." "And if he's trying to figure out." "Were is the tail on this drawing, were is the tail on that, were is the tail, you know." "I mean, and you just can were you self I would think what do much were the" "But if I'm going straight ahead later" "I'm going do nice things, were the." "These your guy lines, you know." "These is what every, these the way the think about it." "You might one do just is a straight ahead thing or you might really lok yourself down any poses but they figure down this wonderful combination of seems obvious." "Now, but it's just wonderful just absolutely." "Freeze you, because your secure the same time your been the natural way... combination." "So, we've setup the terminology." "Of the difference between the storytelling keys, and extremes, the contacts, breakdowns or passing positions and inbetweens." "We've show the three ways to animated:" "The straight ahead natural way." "And pose to pose calculated way." "And the best way the combination of both." "And next session were going into more on time and spacing." "And some affable stuff did you read you need to know." ".:" "LEGENDADO E SINCRONIZADO POR VALENTIM :."
