Here’s a shot of Aladdin fighting Snake Jafar. We were trying to get the characters to interact with the actual architecture of the castle.

Here’s some ruff animation of the scenes I did for the Happily Ever After show at Disneyworld. It’s playing nightly now, so go see live it if you can. It’s much more impressive projected on the castle at Magic Kingdom

Hi Randy, can you please tell us how to get better at timing. How you plan your Timing charts? Also any thoughts on how to use timing that it does not look pose to pose nor floaty? Thanks

The thing new animators struggle most with in timing is the idea of slow in and slow out. Everything that moves (and has mass) has to build momentum in movement and needs to slow before coming to a stop. Even when you move your head there is a “slow out” of the first position and a “slow in” of the final position. That is one of the values of timing charts as we figure how quickly (how many frames) it will take to slow out of a pose and sloe into the next.

The secret to keep your animation from looking too “posey” lies in the breakdown, or transition poses. These are the poses between the main poses that define the arcs and spacing of the in-betweens. These poses are fundamental in helping your animation flow smoothly from pose to pose. It’s also good to remember there are times when you should be animating straight ahead (in consecutive drawings with few or no in-betweens). I usually take a straight ahead approach when animating quick action and overlapping action (like hair or clothing).

This is a pre-production test that I animated of Chel for El Dorado. 20 years ago! My friend Kristof re-shot it. Sorry about the sound quality, it was not done to production sound. She says, “Ooooo, Oh my! This is the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in!
