ANIMATION EDUCATION -- RUN RICHARD RUN

shel here: our son shamus is between shots (he's been using our extra set up for a school project) so i borrowed the rich guy (richard wealthington) to do this quick run test. so fun to get my hands on a puppet again!






run test from handmadeheros on Vimeo

learned alot about posing this time around, and the timing part is getting easier so that's cool, and i'm starting to "sense" when a frame is right, still don't always know when they're wrong but there's a feeling when the balance and the pose and placement is just right that goes "AHHHH, YES!" those frames are so satisfying to click!

You must be absorbing animation skills in your sleep. Just amazing progress shel, good sense of weight on the landing steps.

Very cool!

Hey -- just out of curiousity -- are you left-handed?

Watching your clip, I realized that most folks (for no particular reason) have their puppets walk from left to right. Seeing yours go right to left -- it made me wonder...

Hey Justin and Shel,
