Gesture and Action

Howard Wimshurst tutorial Adobe Animate. Focus on end and extreme poses first, get these right and flowing. Then in-betweens. 24FPS on 2s, or 1s and 3s, or even 3s and 4s.

Howard Wimshurst tutorial Adobe Animate. If two characters are interacting then draw them at the same time going back and forth, but on different layers, so the interactions can be fully developed together. Make figures move and swing. Add motion blur lines. Bring in energy streaks like Ross Tran. Do streaks on ones, character on 2s and 3s, with redrawn resting poses that ‘breathe’. Can add lightning flash with reversed colours.
