How To Approach A Shot


An old blog post by an excellent character animator Nick Bruno, highlights a personal checklist full of useful questions to ask yourself what you need to do and look for before opening the animation software.

The points he raises are:
- Know the character
- Study the sequence
- What is the point of that moment in the shot
- Check storyboard panels
- Look around the set
- Listen to the audio
- Your own personal experience
- Draw thumbnails and experiment
- Act it out
- References
- Revise the 12 principles

There are many more he includes from his own personal experience. Check it out HERE
