A natural, easy, man's walk can be drawn over sixteen frames. A natural, but fast, woman's walk could work effectively drawn over eight frames, although, again, the demands of the scene would dictate this. To get more subtlety and fluidity into your walks, there are other points to consider. In all the illustrations so far, we have considered the body as more or less an oval with matchstick arms and legs stuck on. In reality, however, the human body is quite flexible, with rotating and bending...

Electric Pencil Sharpener. Although it may seem a luxury to the uninitiated, anyone working in full-time animation is likely to purchase an electric pencil sharpener. Such an aid is invaluable when a great deal of drawing has to be done and time is of essence. In other circumstances, of course, a manual pencil sharpener is sufficient. Peg Reinforcements. Often, when animation drawings are shot over and over again, the peg holes on each drawing become worn or damaged. To avoid this, it is useful...

Nbetweening producing the drawings inbetween the key drawings is of fundamental importance to the success or failure of animation technique. An inbetween is a drawing that is usually exactly between two extremes, or key drawings. Consider for example, a ball rolling from A to C. If the animator wants more inbetweens between the key drawings say, 1 to 9 , they would appear as In a studio, inbetweening is done by the assistant. It is essential that the assistant accurately carry out what the...

On most graticules, all the field sizes from 1 to 12 inches are clearly marked 1 to 15 on a 15-inch graticule , as well as the TV cut-offs for most field sizes. This makes it far easier to judge the field size of any animation. Also indicated on the graticule are four directional reference points north, south, east, and west. These offer direction, if the chosen field size does not have the same center as the largest field on the graticule 12 or 15 . If, for example, you want to use an 8-field...

Like walks, runs have their own personalities, depending on the requirements of the scene, the psychological state of the character, and even on the texture of the surface on which the character is running. Consider, for instance, the difference in running styles for a sprint and a marathon. The sprinter uses short, sharp, explosive movements caring little for preserving stamina. The marathon runner, however, sacrifices speed for economy and runs in a far more relaxed, economic, upright style....

Alternatively, a profile take might appear Then the inbetweens would be 4- 5 With a violent take, there is great anticipation in all the movements. If, for example, the head stretches up, it must first squash down. If the head stretches forward, it must first squash back. An even more exaggerated take is the double-take. Quite simply, a double-take uses the same basic positions as the standard take, but has extreme and eccentric inbetweens. If the keys are Then the inbetweens would be 4- 5 Note...
Correct Breakdown Position 1
Returning to the walk itself, you may wonder how to animate the rest of the body so that the whole figure is in movement. The most important thing to remember in all standard walks is that if the left leg is forward, the right arm is forward to counterbalance it see drawing 1 . Similarly, if the right leg is forward, the left arm is forward see drawing 9 . Following all the principles you used to inbetween the legs, you can now produce a passing position for the whole body. First, slowly act it...
