Here is the first video upload of 2024!
Though it might seem a bit confusing, I assure you that everything here looks the way it does for a specific reason.
So what's the difference between "rough animation" and "tiedown?"
In rough animation the focus is to work out the basic mechanics of your scene, which includes things like key poses and the placement of your character(s) within.
The tie down stage is where you start adding your details (based on your model sheets). It is also where you add your timing charts, and figure out your spacing.
In this clip I have the head of one of the characters enlarged, simply because the details of the face become lost, or are next to impossible to draw accurately at such a small size. Basically, they are down to less than one pixel in some cases. Yikes!
So there you have it!
More updates to come, so as always: stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
