Animation Hesitation

With this latest video installment of 'The Animation Degradation', we can quickly see that by the third month of attendance, things had definitely begun to take a turn for the chaotic over in good Sir Jerry's classroom.  I had to hunt long and hard thru my collection of video tapes from that summer before coming across any actual scenes of instruction and learning.  (See rare picture above!)  For the most part, it was just 12 weeks of recess with a few short breaks for lessons.

Yes, there was always a healthy dose of humour and hijinks from the majority of the students during our earlier, more serious classes - back when the dream was still alive - but this later footage will clearly show how the train had now left the tracks and the mad scramble for lifeboats was underway.

Looking back, I still find it hard to believe that each of us received an official certificate proclaiming our successful completion of this animation layout course (yes, even me) when in fact, I still couldn't tell you the difference between 'storyboard slugging' and a 3-field pan.  Not that you'd ever need to know the difference.
