Automating Anticipation

yogyog writes:

Leading in to Lipsync for the ‘Lazy Episode 3: Stopmotion Style’, I look at anticipation, reaction, and, for some reason, the smear frame. The creation of anticipations and reactions before and after snappy movements can be semi-automated in Blender.

Maybe at some point I can start going through all the other animation principles. I also have some ideas for creating smear-frame rigs, but I currently have 5 other videos planned:

• Forms of lipsync (not a tutorial – more a 5 minute animation history video essay)
• Lipsync for the Lazy Episode 3: Stopmotion Style
• Animating Eyes
• Lipsync for the Lazy Episode 4: Motion Capture Data
• Put yer Hands in yer Pockets in Blender
