How to Film Good Reference for Animation

AnimSchool Tips: How to Film Good Video Reference for Animation
Whether you’re a painter or an animator, reference is essential to any artist’s creative process. In this lesson, AnimSchool instructor Timothy Suarez explains how to film good video reference that will make animating easier. He covers the importance of proper staging, collaborating with others, and how to film when you don’t have the same props your character does. Though reference may seem like it’s taking away from your time animating in Maya, Timothy reminds us that your reference is the basis of your animation so it's important to put the time in and get it right.
