I haven't bumped into this before. I'm keeping things very simple in my short, largely because I'm afraid to put myself into a corner. ( It's limiting, I know, but I have to deal with this approach for the time being ). Thank you very much for generously sharing this information. it will come in handy later, when I muscle the nerve to tackle groups in 2d animation. Best, Alex Hi Mike,

This is one heck of a trick, very clever. I haven’t bumped into this before. I’m keeping things very simple in my short, largely because I’m afraid to put myself into a corner. ( It’s limiting, I know, but I have to deal with this approach for the time being ).

Thank you very much for generously sharing this information. it will come in handy later, when I muscle the nerve to tackle groups in 2d animation.

Best,

This 'feel' comes across in texture of motion- 1's, 2's or 3's. i think i've posted drawings corresponding with exposures in many past posts (You might have come across them?). And for the exposure sheet and me, it's like bookkeeping and i don't fill it out until everything has been determined. My timing is set through real-time playback and then record the frame exposure right on each drawing. It's a workflow that is personal to each; some plans everything on the ex-sheet before animating. Hope you'll find what'll work best for you. And you are right- there is no one universal absolute way, only personal. Happy day to you in Australia :) Thank you Alex for the many feedback :)

This coming week I will finish reading them all. I'm always curious to find out about other people's workflow. I am still emulating bits of various techniques, it's a melange. I try not to ignore what my instinct is telling me though. About the last advice you gave me - the digital part - I am being stubborn I guess. I will only switch to a paperless application when I really know what I'm doing on paper. I went on and spend a small fortune on paper, I'm getting it shipped from UK. On another note, I read an old post of yours and at the end of it there was a peaceful picture of some ducks on a lake. It reminded me of 'Fly Away Home' ( filmed in beautiful Canada ) .I saw many years ago, it didn't star ducks but geese. It's a wonderful that I think would appeal to your sensibilities. Have a great weekend, Alex Yes, Mike, I found them, thanks. This coming week I will finish reading them all.

Thank you for showing us how you built this scene in all it's stages. It really helps to get a grasp on how to approach a scene like this. Did you think if you did more than three variations the scene would have looked too chaotic? Beautiful work as usual! Thank you for showing us how you built this scene in all it’s stages.

Thank you David :) Yes I feel that for this scene, one extra variation might make things too active and didn't want to invest the extra time to find out; I think it's also good to learn to spend just the right amount of energy per scene need, since it takes massive amount of time in our work.
