So last week I recently finished up Jason Ryan’s webinar series on fundamentals. Really great stuff and I learned a lot. It was pretty refreshing to hear about these concepts again after graduating from Animation Mentor and working a bit. Kinda makes you want to jump back in and start anew with some personal tests for learning.
It was also very interesting to see his workflow using flipbook for planning and then going into Maya. I never really attempted it before, but I think I might with my next test. I can’t really draw very well, but it really makes you think about how your animation is going to work throughout the shot before laying down any keys. If anything I’ll learn a bit more about planning which is something you can’t really learn too much of.
