Animation sCritiques Notes from 11 Second Club

After watching a few 11 second club eCretiques, I wanted to keep a list of tips and rules that I commonly see within the reviews. This list will help me grow as an animator, and continue to make me aware of my own mistakes.

Rules

• Watch out with Repetitive gestures.
• Do not twin the movements on left and right limbs.
• Make sure your thoughtful on where you have the eyes looking.
• Hitting a brick wall can be solved with and Ease in.
• Watch out for static poses, especially on obvious areas.
• Be mindful of blink, add more ease in when going up.
• Add a red ball to the nose, to track extreme head turns.
• Keep the lips loose
• Make sure your not missing your phonemes, make sure they are clear.
• Set your staging to have it easy for the audience to understand.

Tips

• Define a character - What are they feeling? What goals do they have? What do they do for a living?
• Define the environment - Where is the character located? What are the props that help define the area?
