11:00 Morning Character Animation Exercise: The basics and Exaggeration

This morning to start working in Character Animation. We are going to use our Andy the Android character we created this morning. Remember that you are drawing your own character to create as DH | 10. The animation lessons we are learning now transfer directly to your own character.

Disney’s twelve basic principles of animation were introduced by the Disney animators Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas in their 1981 book The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation.

The book and its principles have been adopted by traditional studios, and have been referred to by some as the “Bible of animation.”

Today we learn about the principle “Exaggeration” and how we are going to incorporate this into our Character Animation. First we watch / then we will do guided practice projects until lunch.
