Should you PLAN your animation

There are two ways to animate (pretty much):

1. Straight ahead - create 1 frame after the other
   • [(] Hard to change smth
   • [)] Fluid
   • [)] Spontaneous
2. Key framing (pose to pose) - create the most important frames first and fill the gaps afterwards
   • [)] Faster method for complicated motion
   • [)] Easier to adjust
   • [(] Can feel rigid
3. Combined

How to chose:

• Effects like water or fire - straight ahead
• Heir and clothes - straight ahead, after the character animation is done
• For most stop-motion you'll need to use straight ahead
• 3D - key frame

2. Then try to recreate it in another
