On this week we had another lesson on how to animate from planning to polish in the splinning pass, more or less like this:

1. Planning your animation.
Start thinking about what you want to do, and try to find and made as much references that you can.


2. After that, start the blocking pass.
- Make sure about your camera because the silhouette must work fine
- Start a rough block and capture the feeling of the important poses;
- Push them after make sure they are working;
3. Put the breakdowns.
- Divide your animation and work in sections;
- Don't forget the overlap and put weight on that;

4. Director/Mentor tip (looks like the teacher on Juan's shot haha!).
- Remember your goal, and make sure your mentor knows it too;
- Be specific and be ready to receive critiques.


5. Apply the notes.
- Put all tips into practice;
- Go to spline;
- Re-check the spacing;
- Re-check the path of action;
- Clean all curves and nail it.


6. Have fun!

Besides finishing our last shot with Ballie (phewww..), we started to plan our next shot.
See ya!
