Resources

 I have always loved researching and exploring topics of interest. Obviously animation and illustration are major interests of mine, so I thought I would share some of the resources I've found helpful along the way. I've tried to organize links to these resources by grouping them as either reading, videos, or websites. Let me know if you find them helpful too!


READINGS

Eric Goldberg, Character Animation Crash Course!

Richard Williams, The Animator's Survival Kit

Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation

Stephen Silver, The Silver Way


VIDEOS

Frank and Ollie - A documentary film about two of Disney's '9 Old Men'. They are also the authors that literally wrote the book about Disney animation (The Illusion of Life)

Justin Milgate on YouTube - Most of my videos cover animation concepts focused on bridging the gap from beginning animator to intermediate. But also check out the "playlist" section where I share other videos I find helpful, and you could always reach out if there is a specific topic you would like me to cover


WEBSITES

Animator Island - Tons of animation resources. This is the island to get stuck on

Animated Spirit - Animation theory and practices

Quickposes - Gesture drawing poses and exercise challenges

Schoolism - Great resource to continue learning and developing as an artist

The Other Animation Principles Of Motion: Newton's Laws of Motion

After discussing timing and spacing, I think it's a little easier to see how all of these animation principles really feed off of each other and overlap in many ways. So instead of focusing on them as separate principles, I decided to discuss the remaining motion  principles as a group. They really are artistic definitions of scientific principles, a way for us to discuss and push reality while still basing our animation on realistic physics to ground our work and make it more believable. Starting with reality, we can look at science, then we will define and apply the animation principles. Obviously, I'm not a scientist so I will not try to get too technical, but I think it's helpful to look at the reality of motion. Specifically Newton's 3 Laws of Motion: (1) Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it (objects at rest will stay at rest until another force acts upon it, objects in motion will...

It's Been A Minute

After finishing the little series on the 12 Principles I realized that it's been quite a while since I've shared what I've been up to. So as I develop more post ideas I thought I would take a minute to do that. I graduated from Animation Mentor back in 2018 (I said it was a while haha), and after about a year of applying and trying to make new shots for my animation reel I signed on to my first contract as a 3D Animator. I actually just wrapped up work on this project, it has been an absolute joy to work on and I'm still shocked and grateful I had the opportunity to be involved. That project was in the Film/TV sector of the industry and a little over a year ago I was able to start working in the Game sector. I have really enjoyed both sides, but personally, I was able to learn more about mechanics and animation faster working in games because of the types of animations that games require. In addition to working as an Animator, I was humbled to be asked to teach at my al...

Animation: Introduction to the 12 Principles

As I'm going through my character animation course, I wanted to use this blog to share some of the things I'm learning. To establish a foundation for those future posts I think it's important to start with the 12 animation principles established by the early animators at the Disney studio. These principles are both technical philosophies and terminology that help animators speak to specific aspects of a piece of animation that are working and/or needing work. When used together the principles can help any animation be perceived as more harmonious and believable. While they are listed as separate pieces many overlap and inform the others. Recently, I heard Mark Oftedal put these principles into categories that I found very helpful. Group #1: MOTION - Squash & Stretch, Anticipation, Follow Through, Slow-In & Slow-Out, Arcs, Secondary Action, Timing & Spacing; Group #2: TECHNIQUE - Solid Drawing, Pose-To-Pose & Straight Ahead; Group #3: AESTHETIC -...
