Did you ever act in a cartoon?
I guess everyone is familiar with this famous funny quotation. But like every joke, this one has also a small part of joke and the rest of true. We also decided to act in the cartoon, but not in its primary part, but in the one that remains off screen. Today we’ll talk about shooting the reference movings of characters in the cartoon. During the work over the character, the animator lives the life of its hero. He needs to feel how the character will jump, turn over, or make grimace. To ease a bit the work of the animators, we shoot a few grimaces on video, so they won’t have to get in front of a mirror to seek for inspiration. You can enjoy some of thems, too.
