Watching gamers figure out the whole inflation thing with game prices has been fascinating, makes me realise that different gaming eras have totally different experiences. We played and replayed those old hard games until we got good because games were expensive.

This is how I generally refer to the 12 Principles of Animation when teaching to new students. What do you think of the updated language I use?

My Twitter account is basically dead. 16K followers and I get zero engagement with posts, not that I got particularly high engagement anyway, especially if you don't play the game.

Crazy that this is from a Disney short in 1954. It has all the angular and interpretive elements of UPA and Warner Bros.

Incredible animated documentary from 1918 by Winsor McCay of Gertie the Dinosaur fame. This 12-minute film took 2 years to make and consisted of 25,000 drawings.

Something that's easier to do in 2D animation than 3D animation?

Game looks awesome, just curious about the way those arms kinda snap back when pushing the wheels forward, when all the other animations are real smooth?

I think this is why I like having green-screen sections in my latest videos, as I'm able to demonstrate things like this a little easier that I can't always find the words for with speech and visuals only, I very much like to perform things for clarity.

A couple of 1-hour animation jump-pose challenges I did with students. That second one was REALLY hard to work in out in one hour, but a great challenge to think about.
