If I may be so bold I'd like to cast this thought into the mix. I post it because I think it's helped me understand better why and when to animate on 1s and when it's okay to animate on twos. As Milt Kahl might say, "It's all in the timing... and in the spacing."<br /><br />The sequence in question is driven by excited dialogue that has it clocking in a 5 seconds. Not a lot of time to get a lot of detail on screen. If the dialogue was 10 seconds long (and if there was room for the longer sequence in the film) then... I imagine it would work fine on 1s. But here is the important question: If this were to be on 2s *and still fill the same 5 seconds* you'd have to drop every other drawing from the sequence so that you could pad each duplicate drawing (the 2s) back in.<br /><br />What frames would be dropped? What frames could be dropped. I feel confident if we consider again the wonderful drawings represented here the answer is that we wouldn't want to drop any!Rodney Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953461648033310302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-81619619592449396342011-06-10T18:38:28.444-07:002011-06-10T18:38:28.444-07:00Maleficent... perhaps my favorite Disney character...Maleficent... perhaps my favorite Disney character of all time. Relentless, cold, calculating and, oh by the way, able to transform into a giant fire breathing dragon! One of a kind. She made such an impression on me as a child. Best of all was the message she helped deliver (despite her attempt to defy it)... good will triumph!<br /><br />I hadn't given much thought to the raven helping in her moments of more subtle performance.

Freelance Animation School was co founded by John Ewing first as an animation studio then developed into a full fledged animation school. He came into class to give us a lecture and it was soo great! it was so nice to have a Disney animator giving us advice about the work styling of how and what the work progress was. it was really inspiring.Hamid Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771712558182437994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-37994949432746426302011-06-10T14:54:37.122-07:002011-06-10T14:54:37.122-07:00Guh!

I met Marc and Alice in the mid 90's up in Seattle, and had the pleasure of visiting with them from time to time on my trips to California. Their home truly is a museum of wonderful, one of a kind art. I was just recently down in CA visiting with Alice, and she always has something new (Something of Marc's she found in the house) to show me. They both encouraged me so much with my art.. I wouldn't have made it this far without their support.<br /><br />Thank you for this post and for creating this blog!Sarah Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519364555928551066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-56385383518874661872011-06-09T13:14:37.092-07:002011-06-09T13:14:37.092-07:00Thanks Andreas.Thanks Andreas.Alexandre Augusto Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828501495989250272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-17205320497227883272011-06-09T13:11:21.325-07:002011-06-09T13:11:21.325-07:00Hey Andreas!

The drawings he did for the "Country Bear Jamboree" and "Pirates of the Caribbean " for the parks are simply sensational, they are definitely among the best drawings I've ever seen.<br />Thanks for sharing these amazing drawings from Marc.<br /><br />Andreas, I am a big fan of John Lounsbery, and we do not hear much about him as happens with Frank, Milt or Kimball.<br />To me he is one of the greatest animators, and his work was superb!!<br />I have the book written by Canemaker and I read the chapter on the Lounsbery, but I believe you should know a lot about John. You could post, when possible, some informations, stories about him and maybe some animations or drawings of him?<br />Thank you Andreas. All the best.Alexandre Augusto Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828501495989250272noreply@blogger.com
