@animatrocities That's interesting! I think fire is pretty simple at the start, but the more you do it and the further you go you realize how complex it can be x D

The beauty of learning effects is seeing how incredible even the smallest things are - a droplet on the glass, a splash on a puddle, appreciating the subtlety and mundane. It hard not to take these things for granted. Take care of each other, everyone.

It's always nice to simplify things. Even with a ball and a tail there's so much to explore - like how you can express the weight and material through timing and spacing. Hope these notes may come in handy and lead to more experimenting! #animation

Battling my own mindset with character animation. I always had trouble approaching characters and learning more about animation made it worse to a degree. Holding yourself up to unreasonable standard. Definitely tough to break through.
