Animation & Visual Research
The foundations of the animation were discussed in good depth today, with particular attention paid to the history of technological progression in animation. This seemed to me to be one of the best ways to begin researching the subject of professional animation, which is always restricted to the technology available at the time. On observing the works from early dilegent animating artsits, such as Ryan Larkin - of the acclaimed "Street Musique" (1972) and subject of Oscar winning animated documentary "Ryan" (2004) - highlighted the important progression from Pencil to "Key Frame" to Pixel that all animators can benefit from taking. Despite the effective shortcuts that can be used to create realistic animations with computer software today, unavailable in earlier times, the artsitic study and breakdown of animation in life frame by frame is needed to capture the essence of animation.
Walking - Oscar nominated-, by Ryan Larkin (1968):
A diligent piece centred around walk cycles, good reference material.
