This is a super-useful video not just for animators, but also for painters and sculptors as well. I've always made my hands either flat or tense, and I didn't know what was wrong until I watched this video.
Your presentations are the highlights of the Blender conference for me! This was great, already looking forward to the knowledge you will (hopefully) share next year.
Perfectly structured explanation! Learned a lot in a short time. I want this to replace university. I am Grateful that Hjalti shared his observation, so thanks Hjalti :)
12:27 is the demonstration of the "grouping" concept in visual design. The same can apply for trees or anything when you want to create variation instead of evenness.
Very interesting talk! For me it's the index and middle finger that "glue" together. And leading fisting/unfisting with the pinky feels unnatural. Anyone else with my hands?
Can not watch without playing around with my hand
I was lucky to be in the audience :) Kept looking at my own hands and yes, Hjalti knows what he's talking about!
Every year I have to see all they stuff again. It's one of the best modern animation pratice/theory I know
At the end of this talk seing my hands felt weird
The quality of the video stream is breathtaking. Of course Hjalti is amazing as always too :)
Love Hjalti! Studying animation on Blender Cloud with him :)

0:57 learned to pronounce your name finally!
Great hand animation tips and tricks!🖖🏼
Handy advice as always, thanks for the presentation!
11:39 ...tough crowd.
Very instructive and useful, also he's really handsome
Alternate title: Rule of Thumb
Thank you, this was pretty handy
TED Talk .. but for Blender. Awesome content! Thank you!
Diversity of hands is our strength.
eating Hands and eating are two difficult poses for animators.
thumbs up for this great talk, thank you
When you realize za hando is a jojo reference
Amazing, I just binge watched Hjalti's lectures and they are all amazingly informative while also enjoyable :) Great guest!
That was fascinating. As photographers we often obsess over hand position and I see animators need to as well.
Great talk, thanks for the *rules of thumb*
lmao the part where he is staring at his hand while recording it 😂 the dude next to him is like... u okay?
great one!
Brilliant talk so thought provoking and entertaining. Thanks Hjalti.
funny guy and amazing as well :)
That's really helpful, thanks a lot!
Great presentation. I've learned the importance of observation. Thanks!

and yeah I agree, the fingers reajustment in 19:49 is really nice ;-)
A hand was the thirst mesh I rigged in blender. This talk gave me some flashbacks:)
I sure learned to not make a-thumb-ptions. What a handy video.
:o
My Icelandic brother
2:41 as a former Martial Arts guy that hurts xD
Essential for any animator! Excellent, engaging talk. Thanks Hjalti!
There's a lot of hand/finger related pun in this one. I like it.

thank you
Such a brilliant talk :-)
Now I know why I have always done it wrong. And why I always will do it wrong...
Very interesting talk! For me it's the index and middle finger that "glue" together. And leading fisting/unfisting with the pinky feels unnatural. Anyone else with my hands?
