In blocking, it makes things like timing and arcs easier to edit when you have fewer keys. All the controls on the fingers and toes can sure pump up the amount of keys you have in no time. This can clutter the timeline and keep you from adjusting you&#39;re keys when needed. Hope that helps.Jeremy Jutrashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18225560402642424767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568416200996850535.post-57455765463955593102010-06-13T21:26:49.147-07:002010-06-13T21:26:49.147-07:00Shawn?<br /> Could you elaborate on animating and cleaning hands and fingers?

The least topic addressed at times, I think its the make it or break it part and an art form of its own, polishing the crap out it. To get it fluid and Gleam!Herman Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12820275662006354119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568416200996850535.post-22720035832611623772010-06-09T01:29:59.102-07:002010-06-09T01:29:59.102-07:00Woah, woah, woah!<br /><br />Shawn Kelly strikes back!!<br /><br />Dude, what is it with you? I just can&#39;t get enough of your articles. It was your blog and your eBook that helped me improve my work and get a Trainee job at my country&#39;s finest studio. Even during my training at the studio, I kept my eyes glued to your eBook. It just kept fueling my passion for animation. The way you write, man!<br /><br />Now that my JD has changed, and I am more into overseeing production and I don&#39;t get much time for hands-on animation; this article hit me like a ton of bricks, and I feel like animating again.<br />I won&#39;t spare you if my current productivity suffers because of your article. :P (Just kidding)<br /><br />Keep up the great work, Shawn! Animation Mentor is the place to be! ***someday***Shakaibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01128075766798799686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568416200996850535.post-22290239986281336122010-06-08T11:42:44.976-07:002010-06-08T11:42:44.976-07:00Hey Shawn,<br />excellent post. It is so good to get refreshing posts like this to renew your mindset. I am embarking on a 2d film right now. It is good to know the concept is the same in clean up. I know 2D? Crazy, what was i thinking. But, hey, it is forcing me to draw and get better at planning animation. Thank God for Wayne Gilbert&#39;s book and The Illusion of Life and The Animators Survival Kit!<br /><br />- Joe Young<br />joe@josephjyoung.comJoe Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08219537614720180751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568416200996850535.post-88876036604067525422010-06-08T11:40:05.493-07:002010-06-08T11:40:05.493-07:00First comment.<br /><br />Awesome post Shawn!AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03994720999833255725noreply@blogger.com
