There's a Starbucks on the second floor of John and Richmond if anyone would like to join me for a coffee afterwards. :o)

(2) Friday Sept 28th - 12:00 - 1:30 pm in our regular classroom 516

I look forward to seeing your WIP animation -- last chance for help before final animation is due next week....

I'll go over the process of moving from blocking to rough and then final animation. Animating this way allows you to make the most of your posing and timing and build layers of detail into your scenes from blocking to final polish

Here's a beautiful example of this layered approach by the ridiculously talented Jamaal Bradley
