One of the biggest problems I see in newbie animator's work is never savoring the moment. It's all moving all of the time, never resting on any particular idea. You have to stay in the moment of the scene and never reveal what is coming next. The character doesn't know, so your audience should not know either. Give the viewer a moment to relish in that idea and the accents you bring to the poses.

Hello, My name is Angie and I live and work in Los Angeles, creating animation for film and commercials for the past 17 years.

THINKING ANIMATION:
the Gap Between 2D and CG
2006 and started this blog to promote it. My co-author - Jamie Oliff - reads the blog regularly, but is a bit challenged typing on a keyboard...so, he is here in spirit.
