Animation Blocking - Notes and Chunks - part 8
Channel: Jean-Denis Haas
Date: 2018-12-16

How to block out your animation, how to plan your animation blocking, what to avoid, what IS animation blocking, all these questions are the basis of this new series and a topic that's really important for new animation students.

Now that we are in the "Worklow" section of this series it's time to look at the time and schedule benefits of structuring your animation notes for your shots (either through your own critique or notes given by other people) and mental and organizational benefits of breaking up your animation into chunks (or beats or whatever term you prefer). 

Here's the playlist for the "Most Common Animation Mistakes":
