Animation Research

Improving my animation skills. Got this upcoming project that I've got a great idea for. Just need to understand the process a bit more, apply it to what I already know. Here are a few YouTube vids that give me a bit of inspiration in figuring out how I can achieve what I see in my head.

Psyop Animation for MTV HD

Note to self: Full concepts can be achieved by simple shadows and minimum color. In fact using singular colors to signify specific items may enhance the artistic effect, and drive home the point of the overall piece.

The Tranquillity of Shadows

Note To Self: Flow can be understated as long as it is displayed. It may not be necessary to completely follow through to achieve sfumato.

Shadow Animation

Note To Self: Less is more. 2D expansion may even help you achieve 3D flow.

Alien Research

Although the subject of Aliens isn't something I really plan on showing in any of the Monster Cops episodes, the videos I keep seeing come up are great examples of shots I'd love to see in future "monster sighting footage" in Monster Cops. And although the Cops may never deal with aliens there may be talk about them, as I do like to include dialogue of all sorts of paranormal/conspiracy subject matter. Here are a few videos I wanted to take note of. Some really great effort here. Whether it's real or fake these vids have pics and footage that would be worth duplicating for other types of creatures besides aliens.
