This shows an important concept: animated acting is not the same as proper stage/real acting. A lot of animated acting would be just plain bad if real people did it in movies. It’s sorta obv ig, but knowing the difference is important. A shot may call for more of one or the other

Just wanna say that this stuff is context dependent. Pushing poses is great but needs to work with the motion. The pose on the right works if miles does a handspring or something after. The left doesnt have that intention to me. So the right pose may be the wrong choice. Context!

Spacing spacing spacing. Can't emphasize this enough. The contrast in energy you get is my bread and butter of animation.

Although it’s the same timing, by playing with spacing/adding texture, you can achieve different results in the end. By understanding the intention/idea behind the move, you can then decide what type of ‘energy’ you’re looking for. #kyosil #animation

I'd love more animated dramas tbh. Animation can tell stories in a way no other medium can. It applies to all types of stories.😌
don't usually see animation (especially as stylized as this) used for something as mundane as romance tbh? I think that's what makes this exciting to me, really interested in it

One thing I like about mixed frame animation is that the frame rate becomes part of the animation. The choice to use 3s over 2s for a particular motion for example. I like having that control and for it to be for a reason. I’m not certain smoother is always better tbh

For action heavy stuff I’m in stepped until basically the very end. Spline and polish are the same for me. I find because I set so many keys, the transition to spline never feels floaty. But it’s also important to think about spacing while blocking. Doing stepped with 1s in-

Question for my fellow animators. Every animation is approached differently of course, but what’s your normal workflow when creating a hand keyed animation? Are you blocking in stepped or spline?
