Tippett Studio <strong>Animation</strong> Supervisor Jim Brown and Lead Animator Brian Mendenhall share their<br />
advice about animation workflows.<br />
The most important aspect of a workflow is to keep it current and progressive. Always aim to redevelop<br />
your workflow by adapting your habits, applying what you’ve learned and seeing what works<br />
best for you. By doing so, you’ll be continuously improving as an animator.<br />
However, Mendenhall advises animators to always work clean and be consistent about it.<br />
Adapting your workflow to fit the shot you’re working on is also important. Brown explains that,<br />
when animating a dragon, he focused on the path first. He created good timing and weight then<br />
finessed the poses. Normally, he would work pose-to-pose, but felt that this shot called for a different<br />
type of workflow.<br />
There isn’t one workflow that works for everyone. The key is to find a workflow that works best for<br />
you and to always be mindful of improving that process.
