You have a dinner date for seven pm. What time do you arrive?
Seven. Am. Case the restaurant. Run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body. Replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30.
I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force – first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns.
Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful.
Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha
This advice is helpful.
Tezuka said much of the same! This is the great advantage anime has over Disney-style animation– tons and tons of frames make thing look very smooth and pretty, but completely removes the sense of genuine IMPACT from action sequences. They’re not as snappy! Watching a frame-by-frame of a Bruce Lee flick, you’ll see a move executed in very few shots.
“this is not to say that russia hasn’t been able to squeeze advantage out of false friendship in the past. but china is a different case entirely —much less prone to altruism and accommodation, proud, self-reliant, ambitious, and patient. why should china help cure russia’s complexes, or give its elite the means to secure their vanity or personal wealth? in this new entente, the kremlin has but two choices: play the role of lap dog, or get ready to whine about how it is being humiliated all over again. the west, in treating the russian elite with kid gloves, failed to teach it a lesson; china is much less likely to err on the side of lenience.”
