The past two posts have looked at techniques I use to animate as efficiently as possible. They are common tools for time management, and can really be used for any endeavor. I definitely find them useful for managing my stress level and allowing me to crank out more footage. But you’ll notice that the title […]
In my previous post I talked a little about the challenge we all face when trying to decide whether to spend our energy on quantity of animation or quality. The conventional wisdom says that you can’t have both. Given a set time period, you can either get a few shots great, or a great number […]
I was sitting with some of the other animators at lunch the other day and the topic of “speed” came up. Not the drug, but the eternal challenge animators face between “quality” and “quantity”.

Howdy folks! I’ve added a forum to the site in order to foster better communication between all the amazingly wonderful people who have purchased and/or used the Animator Friendly Rigging tools. I get a number of emails and questions about various tips, techniques, etc.. and I realized that there are probably lots of people interested […]
