Today's Inspiration:
“Animation is very slow. When you’re an actor, you depend on spontaneity in a scene
and it’s hard to work up spontaneity when you’re doing separate drawings.
The faster you work, the more spontaneity, and that was one of the secrets of the early
Ferguson animation drawings. He could draw almost as fast as he could think.”

“I thought Pinocchio was harder for everybody than Snow White. We finished Snow White and we said
‘Ha. We can do features!’ And everybody went into Pinocchio with this great load of confidence.
Boy, six months later we found out, and Walt found out,
that what you learn in one picture doesn’t necessarily work in the next picture.”

Today's Inspiration:
“They love to see the drawings move and the characters think,”

“Remember that! It’s what they like to see in our scenes.
We should always let them see what the characters were thinking!”

1. Appeal in drawing.
2. Staging.
3. Most interesting way?
4. Is it the most entertaining way?
5. Are you in character?
6. Are you advancing the character?
7. Is it the simplest statement of the main idea of this scene?
8. Is the story point clear?
9. Are the secondary actions working with the main action?
10. Is the presentation best for the medium?
11. Does it have 2 dimensional clariy?
12. Does it have 3 dimensional solidity?
13. Does it have 4 dimensional drawing?
14. Are you trying to do something that shouldn’t be attempted?
