Animation with Mike Nguyen

In these two weeks, I have been having an inspirational breakthrough with the fantastic Mike Nguyen.

The 1st week we did a nondialog acting animation, in this case our good friend Tony from Lady and the Tramp, waiting for a date. Subtlety is the key! 




The 2nd week we had to do a dance animation. I switched approach and tried the way Mike was animating, which is more straight ahead than pose to pose. It was really fun and for once it  felt more like animating than making drawings that will later seem like motion. I feel that I improved alot in such a short time and i cant wait to do some animation in my winter break.
