The Hardest Button to Button

Started animating the film last (tuesday) night. It's both thrilling and nerve-wracking. I honestly haven't really animated in half a year but I think I'm slipping back into things comfortably. While being incredibly frustrated with it last night I thought something that's probably going to become my mantra the next 7 to 8 weeks. "Stop trying to animate it, start feeling it." Animation is method acting to me. Long and excruciating method acting that I wouldn't have any other way.
Before getting into animating the film, I did warm up a few weeks ago with this little clip of Eede. I draw her playing tambourine a LOT. I figured I should eventually animate that!

Dance, Eede! Dance! from Kate Burck on Vimeo.



*Reposted the video to Vimeo. I think I've given up on youtube.
