Eric Goldberg talking pose-to pose, spacing and breakdowns

Still a little mad at myself for cheating the planning stage in my last assignment I stumbled across these clips, uploaded by Jeremy Hopkins.

Animation guru Eric Goldberg talks about animators not using strong poses enough.
Eric says he usually figures it all out before he even starts to draw. Pre-thinking, that's what is lacking today with many young animators.

Do I feel guilty as charged!



What's missing in CG and hand drawn reels.



benefits of planning



benefits of pose to pose in CG animation



about Ken Harris, who knew EXACTLY where to put his breakdown drawing



That's it for this time. Thanks Jeremy for uploading these clips.

And don't forget to check out Eric's book "animation crash course". You can find it on amazon...!
