THE JOURNAL

Animanium

Make the work easy to understand, including exactly which parts you made.

Collect less, annotate more and give every image a job.

A task-based checklist that keeps feature lists from making the decision for you.

A repeatable way to find the next useful change without collecting vague notes.

The folders, notes and checks that make your work usable by someone else.

A small scene for learning to separate form, shadow and background.

Think about contact and arcs before reaching for a particular rig control.

Plan a short scene with eight cards, one clear action and a firm stopping point.

Use the same simple object to explore a float, a snap and a heavy arrival.
