Analysing clip - Disgust Inside out

Sketches from Japan trips

I really wanted to do a lot of sketching during my trip to Japan but because I was constantly moving, it wasnt really possible. But I did manage to do a few - on the train, in starbucks and on the day I was to leave for Narita, I sat at Takashimaya near Shinjuku Station New south Exit and sketched the people who came there to sit and have lunch or doze off before heading back to work.

Onomichi the exact same spot where some famous artist drew
the exact same thing, but his sketch was nicer

I really enjoy drawing over the animation

Finding those strong poses

January Animation Practice - Clip from Rio

January Animation Practice Clip from Rio from Jasbeer Kootbally on Vimeo.


I have watched this particular scene from Rio (animated by Jeff Gabor from Blue Sky Studio) a thousand + times. I love the interaction between the two characters but I never imagined how hard it was to animate those two characters until I attempted this shot as part of my practice exercise.




The amountof subtle movements is incredible and sometimes imperceptible until you watched it over and and over and frame by frame it a tousand times. There were a lot of movements I didnt understand why the characters, specially Tulio was making, but obviously acting choices depends on the animators. Its only after a couple of trial animating Tulio that I realised his head movements were very similar to a bird. The constant twist and half rotation was very hard but the way I understand it is that Tulio spend so much time with birds he has the same movements as them.



I had to move on to the next clips but I'm sure there's still plenty I can still learn from that clip

January Animation Practice - Clips from Tangled

This year I want to animate a shot or an action on a daily basis. But as a warm up I decided to use some great animation shots as exercise and try to learn about timing and spacing.

'there's a person in my closet' the weight shift and swing of the hand was the main focus

here the character doesnt move a lot but there is still some slight movements

Plotting the nose movements is a great way to see the spacing clearly

spacing and breakdown of movements

All 365 paintings

a little behind the scene

I use photo for reference for mood, color and poses

But sometimes I just paint without any reference
