Cheers Dwayne – That video is excellent! I now recall an interview I listened to a while back with Sir Wade where he was talking about smears and multiples in the recent Kung Fu Panda film and I thought that was a fantastic concept. Great to get more context on it!
And Cheers Wayne! This is something I had a real problem with a million years ago when I used to use pivot stickfigure animator when I was a child. Granted, it is, or at least was, a 2D animation program. I was constantly having problems trying to make my characters hold on to objects but their hands couldn’t reach far enough for it to look quite right so I often gave one arm a little extension that I could unravel in order to give them the extra reach. But yes, I totally get what you’re saying about trying to make things unecessarily idiot proof and the implications entail!
Cheers guys!
