Wait what? Didn't you do this a few weeks ago? As an FBF test?

That statement is very flawed. There is more than just making things move. There is a big difference between making a character move and making a character live. Sure, anybody can take the time to make a tiger walk, but it takes skill to time out each step and make an 800 pound tiger actually look like it weighs that much. Talk to any professional animator and I guarantee that nobody there say animation is just animation.

but it talked about things that are so.... idk... already there? obvious? nvm animation to me is how I do it. It had easing, weight, and tweening, (and more) but it was something that was "given." nothing I've never heard of. I taught me something again I learned a long time ago, there is no secret to animation. ooh jeez if I find my older movies I'll show you guys how pathetic they are :P basically anything before dream collab check them out and give them bad reviews.

oh and PBass I hope I didn't offend you or anything, I have a bad way with words when I have the flu.

No no, it's cool. I was in a sour mood earlier. Sorry for blowing up like that. But the book is still very very valuable, I really recommend that you grab a copy to have with you whenever you animate. Sure, it talks about things that are obvious, but it goes very in depth on how to do them. Such as breaking joints and dragging action, more indepth arcs and timing, and tons more really great stuff. I really recommend giving it another look, or even try and find a copy of the the DVD version, which is excellent (Although very, very expensive). Sorry again for getting upset, I didn't mean anything by it.

Yeah, and he learned first hand from geniuses such Milt Kahl and Ken Harris! I think he even worked with Frank and Ollie for a while.

Though one strange part of his book was the first couple chapters of him just drawing naked women.

Why must everyone say this ? that is my first animation if you remember i made a thread that PBass told me about the book in which was shortly after i made this.

The only things i have done before are walk cycles , unless they count this is the worst
