Took me awhile to clock onto the pokemon music in the bg, thanks for uploading these Chester!

you made look easy and fast in the blocking stage. actually, I learned something new from your videos about your workflow and how you think about video references and then put them on your animation. I think I can put it in my workflow.
I wonder what you use to play your video reference that connected with the Timeslider?
btw, thanks for making this video. I really enjoyed it!

[@ChesterSampson]

Thanks! I have a paid software called ‘keyframe pro’ which can sync up with maya. This means you have no slow down from bringing in image planes :)

Thank you so much for this video
Some script is so useful here, where did you find them ?

[@trivialmv9770]

Hey Chester, idk if will see this comment, but i actually have an interesting question, is a good idea to use actually animation movies or shows as acting references for practising? or is better to always use "real" actors or yourself as reference?

[@FergusAnimation]

I think you're also better off using your own reference. If you even use someone else's acting reference I would at least try it yourself a few times so you can feel the movement, even if the camera is turned off.
Using other animation skips a lot of the learning process and you won't get as much how of it.
You can always take animation and use it as inspiration though.

Asante🙏🙏🙏

[@NeoTheAnimator]

May i ask, what framerate do you animate in?

[@ChesterSampson]

I animate at 24fps which is standard for film and tv. - 30fps / 60fps are more common for games :)
