Animation Time! - Jelly Rig

Today's Inspiration:
The Study of human anatomy is so much more than the naming of parts and the understanding of their function; it is the celebration of our wondrous physicality in the world. The biological complexity of the body can be weighed against its aesthetic beauty, so that the life that drives us is seen to ripple and pulse above and below the boundary of skin. Art is the perfect tool for revealing such knowledge. Throughout history, artists have used their trained eyes to look deep into our lives and into our very existence. They have given much to the history of medicine and they have also removed the taboo from seeing too much. ... Anatomy is a very potent subject, and the subject is us.

Animation Time! - Brute Rig

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.”
