Born to direct

Single shot Definition Core Concept : A shot that features only one person on screen to establish a direct, 1:1 relationship between the character and the audience. Framing : There are no constraints on shot size. Whether it is a distant Long Shot (LS) or an Extreme Close-up (ECU) of just the eyes, any composition featuring a single individual is classified as a "Single Shot." When to use A Single Shot is not chosen simply because a character is physically alone It is used when there is a specific "psychological intent" Portraying Internal States : Used when a character is lost in deep thought, experiencing confusion, or making a pivotal decision. By excluding the surrounding environment, it gives the audience the sensation of stepping inside the character’s mind. Isolation and Alienation : Even in a crowded space, framing a specific character in a single shot can visually demonstrate their exclusion or psychological disconnection from the group. Exclusivity ...

 Pendulum In pendulum animation, the key principles we need to learn are overlapping and follow-through Rules The lubrication of each joint is the same. The weight of each joint is the same. It gradually starts moving from left to right and gradually comes to a stop Second Practice - Moving Pendulum If you haven't seen the stationary pendulum yet, check out this link First Image Now, the Root moves 15 frames to the right Second Image Overlapping occurs at the fastest sections of the motion In the fastest sections, the weights at the bottom try to maintain their original position, creating overlapping motion. Then, when it stops, where should the weights be facing? Should they continue to follow inertia and face left, like in the Second Image? Let's think about it, Overlapping occurred in the fastest section. This mean that when the movement gradually slows down, the weights are still carrying that mometum and being pulled forward with force of acceleration. Third Image Therefor...

Pendulum In pendulum animation, the key principles we need to learn are overlapping action and follow-through Rules 1. The lubrication of each joint is the same. 2. The weight of each joint is the same. First Practice - Stationary Pendulum If we drop the weight from this pose, what will happen? The weight will fall sequentially and preform a pendulum motion. Now, There are some important things we need to remember Start by animating the weight closest to the first root. The period of the amplitude should remain consistent. In other words, if it takes 10 frames to swing to the right, it should take 10 frames to swing back to the left It should gradually come to a stop due to gravity the timing remains the same, but the spacing varies. If there is a diffence in the period of the amplitude, the pendulum moves to the right in 10 frames but returns to the left in 9 frames, it will appear as if the pendulum is trying to return to its original position too quickly ( ex : An antenna or an obje...
