A Couple of Animation Workflow Videos
The 1st video is from Laurent Caneiro over at Dreamworks. He shows off his workflow comparison between his reference footage and shots.
This next video is by Disney animator Daniel Peixe. He goes through one of his shots on Frozen and his workflow how he quickly went about it in 2D and the comparison to what he ended up with in 3D.

Great stuff all the way around and some really fun insight to workflows!

The Slow Mo Guys on Youtube
So there is a Youbtube channel called The Slow Mo Guys and lots of vids of them slowing down everything…in the front and backflip ones you really get a sense of the motion and how the sense of balance comes into play with doing a weight exercise. Maybe next time you use reference video a good idea might be to play it at half speed or even a quarter of the speed.
Enjoy!

Animation Reference Video on Vimeo: Ani Ref
Hey Everyone
Found this gem on the net the other day. Can’t believe I have never seen it before but it seems to be created by Daniel Asher Harman. There is a ton of reference compiled on here and it looks like there is a good group of subscribers that contribute. Titled properly AniRef.
So check it out some ref, contribute some ref and enjoy!
