Research Workflow...

A couple of videos used by animation mentor to promote their courses. As their workflow is designed to run by an industry process it makes sense to follow this lead in my research. Previously, as highlighted, i followed the 11 Second Club process and the dominance of the audio file heavily influenced the out come of the research, as rationalised here. 

The first part of the Tips and Tricks series by Animation Mentor says to start by observing, then to gather reference material before finally creating thumbnails. All these are crucial to the planning stage and Shawn Kelly says that planning is 20% of the scene, and underpins its success.

My next stage is to establish a definition of confusion. Once i have done this i will create a scenario to plan an animation to, using the process mentioned above.
