The first one is a shot progress from Jamall Bradley, and the other one from Joe Bowers, 2 very good animators who worked on Disney's Tangled<br />

<br />
Have a look at these great videos from animator Ugur Yetiskin.<br />
He's made little videos covering a lot of great tips on facial animation that I've found super useful to remember.<br />
So far he's made 5 videos where he talks about <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/26847772" target="_blank">Blinks</a>, the <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/25549277" target="_blank">head direction</a>, the <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/25486066" target="_blank">eyelids</a>, the <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/25426882" target="_blank">eyes direction</a> and the <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/25738790" target="_blank">mouth corners</a>. Enjoy!<br />
<br />

In my research in getting good performance in animation I discovered a couple of super useful links :<br />
- The first one is a 3 part tutorial by awesome animator Samy Fecih, and talks about good <a href="http://www.cgchannel.com/2010/06/tutorial-posing-and-body-language-part-1/"><b>posing</b> and <b>body language</b></a><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
- The other link, from another great animator, Brendan Body, talks about <b>acting </b>and<b> subtext</b>. It's a 2 part tutorial that I've also found really instructive. You can have a look at the <a href="http://brendanbody.blogspot.com/2009/09/some-thoughts-on-acting-part-1-subtext.html">PART 1</a> and the <a href="http://brendanbody.blogspot.com/2009/09/some-thoughts-on-acting-part-2.html">PART 2</a><br />

I've discovered a really interesting website called <a href="http://www.reelbarrow.com/"target="_blank">Reelbarrow</a>. It contains a lot of amazing demoreels from professional animators that would certainly inspire a lot of peopleKrzysztof Boyokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12505066851991864019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612339887655454961.post-85771752781572282372011-04-10T13:20:00.001+01:002011-04-10T13:28:27.078+01:00RangoIt's a bit late to post this comment, but a couple of weeks ago I went to see Rango, and I really went to the cinema that day to see if it was as good as most of the people were saying, because I really wasn't convinced by the trailers.<br />
<br />
But man, I was blown away by this movie. So beautiful in every aspect, and very different compared to every other animated feature that I've seen. It's cinematography gave me the impression that there was a real cameraman who was filming everything. Well done to everybody involved in this !<br />

Here is my updated demo reel, with a selection of shots that I've made while studying at Animation mentor. Hope you enjoy.<br />

I noticed that in many cases doing the simplest thing usually works best than trying overcomplicated choices. <br />
<br />
A good friend and animator recently told me that many young animators want to prove to themselves and everybody else what they're able to do, which most of the time results in overcomplicated acting choices. Sometimes having the animated character nearly still on screen with a strong pose is more powerful than having him do some crazy movements.<br />
<br />
A few months back I learned the importance of a good performance to get a sincere animation. After that I also realised that the best acting in animation usually works with a strong but also simple performance.<br />
There is no need to put crazy overlaps, follow through, arcs or anything else unless there is a purpose for it. An over animated character makes the look insincere, and this is where the planning stage becomes a very important step to me.<br />
When in the beginning I know exactly what emotions I want to portray, I've found it extremely helpful to write everything down on a piece of paper and then come back to these notes later to see if the targeted emotions are still there. And again, when I see that I went a bit beside my intended goal , I receive comments from others that the action feels overdone. Hope this makes a bit of sense.Krzysztof Boyokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12505066851991864019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612339887655454961.post-22040991454551328532010-12-18T14:27:00.005+00:002011-04-16T08:01:01.168+01:00Animation Mentor is finished!!!!Hey,<br />
to who ever has been reading this blog in the past few months, I have to apologise for not putting any updates.<br />
I was doing my last Animation Mentor class, and by far this has been the hardest.<br />
It's all finished now, I'm really excited for the things to come but extremely sad as well because of the AM community that I'm already missing. It has become like a family.<br />
I'm not here to talk about sad things anyway :), the last class has been awesome and my mentor, James Chiang, had a very unique way of teaching that really helped push myself RRRREEEally hard.<br />

Those are probably the shots I'll be polishing in the last term to have my final animation demo reel ready.<br />
