Animation Tips & Tricks

BY: Shawn Kelly

FOREWORD

Hello everyone! Welcome to the irst collection of the Tips & Tricks articles that you’ve been seeing in our monthly newsletter over

the last few years. If you’re a regular reader, I just wanted to thank you for all the support, all the encouraging emails, and for all of

the great feedback and follow-up questions! If you’re a new reader, however, there are a few things you should know. First, I love

animation. LOVE IT. I love everything about this art form. Doing it, talking about it, studying it, etc. Which is probably the root cause

of the second thing you should know: as much as I seem to continually promise to be less wordy in these articles, it never really

happens, so don’t hold your breath. And third, after re-reading a lot of these tips and tricks, I clearly have an unhealthy obsession

for fried chicken and Bacardi Anejo y Coca, so just be prepared for that as well! :)

Anyway - I hope you have fun reading (or re-reading) these articles. For the most part, they’re just me rambling on about this or

that, but it’s been amazing to hear from so many of you that you have found them helpful. Thanks again so much for all the great

feedback! Please continue to send in your questions and comments to tipsandtricks@animationmentor.com - I read and reply to

every email that comes through, and a lot of your suggestions end up becoming great article topics!

Keep animating, and as always -- have FUN!

Congratulations!

If you’re reading this book, that means you want to be an animator, the coolest job in the

world! We are animators from Pixar and ILM who love our job and wanted to share what

we know with others so they could experience it too. That’s why we decided to start

AnimationMentor.com a few years ago. Since then we’ve graduated 335 students and

seen them go on to exciting careers. We’d like to help you do the same thing. Because we

went to traditional art schools, we had to learn most of what we know about animating

from our years on the job. However we were lucky enough to ind people to mentor us

along the way. Now it’s our turn to share what we know. Our 18 month program teaches

everything we know about character animation.

We hope you enjoy this book. It’s just a sample of the great stuf we’re teaching at

AnimationMentor.com . We hope to see you in class!

Bye for now,

Bobby Beck
