In animation, moving the arm without shoulder engagement can make it look disconnected or "broken," lacking natural flow. Adding shoulder movement supports the arm, creating a more believable, anatomical motion that reflects how bodies move in real life.

Arcs are everywhere, even at the wing tips. 🦉 Pay attention to the asymmetry of the arc, narrowing at the top and widening at the bottom.

𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗜𝗣❗ Don't be tempted to track perfect arcs on everything you animate. Gwendelyn roughed up the anim curves, and the result is something that feels very authentic. It's a very small moment in the film, but that only makes the dedication all the more special!

Take a look at this breakdown of the walk initiation — it's all about the weight shift, the fall, and the catch. The body subtly shifts over the stance leg, then lets gravity take over into a controlled fall, and finally catches itself on the leading foot.

👀Look closely . . . Animators love to add smear frames wherever they can! Smear frames can be used to define movement and emphasize the direction of the motion. We usually don't want the smears to be too noticeable, but they're fun to spot when framing through the animation!
