Infusing Jason Ryans Tutorial on easing in and easing out with Franks direction towards snowboarding, our beans battle it out to see who's the best snowboarder amongst the rest.

Nice Mitch, really nice.
Mitch I've been seeing these exercises pop up on people blogs (along with the boucing bean) and they have had me worried. I think the message in this post I made on the ARC isn't getting through.(http://arcreferencepage.blogspot.com/2009/02/goals-worth-setting.html)
It seems obvious to me that many capable students in your class are willing to produce some crap timing and spacing (they must be able to see by now that its not looking professional) just to placate the teacher (get it on the blog). I'm being intentionally provocative here, but it seems that your class is on track to follow the same old path where only one or two come out with the skills needed for a furture that involves more animation. So the teacher sets a deadline, well life is full of them, you still have to find the time to make your work good, that is not a student delema, it is a life delema, everyone might as well face up to it now.
Feel free to share this comment, maybe it can be a class disgusion point. Who is wiulling to produce timing and spacing that they know is not great and why? Are you all experts who don't need the practice? HA! I still need the practice for crying out loud!
Kepp those standards high mate, it will serve you well. ;)
Hey Mitch
I'll get Ian's comments up in class and we'll look at tackling the detail in the animation to improve it in everybody's work.
In general (including you my good man), just in case other animators from the studio drop by your blog:
I do get the feeling that these exercises may be just that; animations not meant for a showreel.
Or, people feel a bit rushed in the time allowed to complete them (that will lead to the "You won't become as good an animator as you can be, if you think you'll only be animating during class time" pep talk).
Neither are excuses for holding back on applying the animation principles you are getting drummed into you guys, and not going for it, in producing better animation at each step.
Thanks for posting so often and for luring Ian out to comment.
If they arn't excuses then why clarify them for those looking to excuse themselves.
I'm screeming back into the traning garison from out in the trentches.
FIND THE TIME!!! IMPROVE WITH EVERY PIECE OF ANIMATION YOU DO NO MATTER HOW SIMPLE!!! PRODUCE A LOT OF WORK!!!!!!!
I'm not giving you a choice, or asking you if you feel like it, it is the only way you can succeed!
Sorry for using your blog as a conduate to the whole class Mitch. I actally liked your animation a lot :)
hahaha its ok Ian. We had a massive talk about it in class today. so your messege has been heard :)
