Use References #TopTip





Into animation? Here's a #toptip from the studio via our animator Nathan Brown - this one is about references.

Nathan Brown: Use references! A great website I use is: www.referencereference.com.

Your job as an animator is to create the illusion of life in an inanimate object. This is not always the easiest task!

You may not know offhand how a lion or bird moves or how a toddler waddles and crawls.

There are some great online resources for video references, check out the Endless Reference YouTube Channel for some great video references.
