ASSETS - Animatic Key Frames

Upon creating the Animatic for the now scraped idea, I used Traditional 2D Animation Techniques and referred to the best of the best for additional help and techniques.

During this time I studied the lectures and Master Classes of Richard Williams. This was the Animation Director for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'

Specifically, I looked at his teachings on the Walk Cycle, where he talks about the importance of the 'up's' and the 'downs' of the Key Frames. Also, the contact positions and the fact that he mentions most Walk Cycles in 2D Animation are done on '2's' (12fps).

He also states that it's possible to make an animated character look faster than intended if you work in 25fps. 

I really heeded his advice hear, and to be perfectly honest I already knew all of this. Richard Williams has always been a great inspiration to me and Ive studied his teachings many times in the past when Ive engaged in 2D workflows.

It was just great to brush up on some of these techniques.
