Lecture on Value 101. When an image flashes in your mind, as an artist your first instinct is to capture it exactly. That's the amateur in you reacting. The experienced artist will view that vision as a guide and know it is ok to divert from it.
It's ok to change it and apply principles to make it better. Think like an artist! You eventually have to draw your perfect vision so one important principle to always keep in mind is value!

Hoy queremos compartirles un blog en Tumblr con el que nos hemos topado y que son un recurso invaluable para los animadores: . En el proceso de animación es muy importante hacer una investigación previa de todos los elementos que van a aparecer en pantalla. Los artistas encargados de los sets saldrán a tomar fotografías y verán miles de referencias antes de tomar las pequeñas decisiones en los diseños finales. En el caso de la actuación hay algunas vías similares que seguir pero siempre es bueno ver y estudiar lo que otros han animado antes.
En el cine de acción viva la habilidad de transmitir emociones y personalidad es responsabilidad del actor mientras que en la animación esto le corresponde al animador. En este blog encontrarán pequeños clips con keyframes y referencias de actuación… incluso efectos especiales.

I had a chance to check out this past weekends animation offerings and I must say that I was thrilled with both. First was the Toy Story short Small Fry that is playing in front of The Muppets.
This is the first animation I’ve seen from Pixar’s new studio Pixar Canada. It came out great and for a short the quality was right up there with the film. The story was fun and very entertaining. I can’t wait to see more out of that studio. I then went and saw Arthur Christmas. Let us know if you had a chance to see either of these two this past weekend and tell us what you thought in the comments below. Thanks, -Steve.

If studying in school is essential to getting good grades, couldn't you say the same for creating good animation?
If you truly want to have better animation, you need to study. More importantly, do you know HOW TO STUDY? When I was a kid, getting good grades never came easy to me. No matter how much I read through all the material, I would still do poorly on my tests. It wasn't until my Mom showed me HOW TO STUDY, that things changed. I came upon the same realization very early in my career. I remember comparing my animations to the first Monsters Inc.
"WHY CAN'T MY STUFF LOOK LIKE THAT? " Then it hit me. "just because this works for me, it doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you. "...because I'm dumb. SO LETS START STUDYING!!! In order to study, we need to study something. With every shot or every test I animate, I try to learn something new and get something out of it. For this demonstration I have selected a shot from the movie THE SECRET OF NIMH. Why Did I pick this shot? ...Why? Amazing Animated Short Films.
