What it's like to be an animator - Jiggly - 04-09-2017

This article What a Studio Ghibli Veteran Taught Me about Animation, was pretty interesting!

As consumers, we comment a lot on style and how good a show looks. This article talks about what it's like for people behind the scenes. While I love drawing, I doubt I would ever want to do this job based on the demands, even if I had excellent manga drawing skills! One of the other things this article talks about it how animation is made. I had assumed more of the early drawing processes would occur digitally, but it seems I was wrong there.

The main part of the article talks about Hitomi Tateno, the Studio Ghibli veteran, who gave a seminar where the audience participated in attempting to draw in-between frames for a simple animation sequence. It would have been pretty cool to be in that audience.

My brother used to try stop motion with Lego too! I saw some cool stuff people did back when I was doing my fine art degree.
