Smoothing out holds
Added 2018-07-17 14:56:56 +0000 UTCI showed this to David and Ethan when they were animating, on how to make animating into held drawings less clunky looking.
First inbetweening so that it gets progressively slower before finally stopping. The spacing chart, on the left, shows the easiest way of doing that, by inserting an extra inbetween drawing, and then again, and then again, so that it halves the momentum with every drawing, before finally stopping. The next trick is to have the character blink just before stopping. This works because the viewer always watches the eyes, so by having the eyes do something visually grabbing, attention is drawn away from the movements.
P.S. Sorry for not posting much lately! Been quite busy; a few private commissions I'm polishing off, and the Starfox animatic is getting quite close to completion!
