Rob Redman explains how to make your characters’ movement believable.

ere are lots of different animation styles, but things like anticipation, weighting and balance are consistent aspects that need to be understood, even if only to be broken. The tips on this page will help you increase your understanding of animation and inspire you to work smarter.

01. Be your own facial model

Put a mirror by your computer monitor, and look at yourself while you are working on character expressions. Pull faces to exaggerate your emotions.

02. Manual, not automatic

Turn off automatic keyframe easing. Create keyframe transitions manually or your movements may look unnatural. Every aspect of your animation should be a choice made by you, not your software!

New NVIDIA GPU-powered features also now shipping in Adobe Creative Cloud video and imaging applications.

Santa Clara – NVIDIA announced the first GPU-accel

eration of Adobe Illustrator CC — enabling graphic artists to seamlessly interact with vector art at any resolution, and to smoothly pan and zoom significantly faster than previously possible. With this new feature powered by NVIDIA GPUs, Illustrator CC can now accelerate the entire canvas by up to 10-times faster than previously possible on Windows 7 or 8-based systems with compatible GPUs.

GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC specifically benefits the wide range of users working with 2D vector graphics, including graphic designers, illustrators and typographers creating media across web, print, mobile and more. While GPU acceleration is the norm in 3D content creation, those working in 2D have traditionally been restricted to driving all computing performance through the CPU. Now 2D artists and designers can experience fully interactive performance with even the most complex, high-resolution graphics. TO KNOW MORE CLICK HERE

NINJAGO Set for September 23, 2016 Release; Charlie Bean to Make Feature Directorial Debut

It was announced earlier today that Warner Bros. has set a release date for its planned Ninjago adaptation for September 23, 2016 (in 3D, of course).  That means the LEGO spin-off will smoke-bomb its way into theaters more than six months before The LEGO Movie 2, which opens May 26, 2017.  
Chris McKay, who co-directed the nearly half-a-billion-dollar-earning first installment, will be at the helm of the sequel, while the studio has set first-time feature director Charlie Bean (TRON: Uprising) to handle the Ninjago film. Bryan Shukoff and Kevin Chesley penned the screenplay for Ninjago.  Phil Lord and Christopher Miller will be producing with Dan Lin and Roy Lee, with Jill Wilfert, Seth Grahame-Smith, John Powers Middleton, James Packer and Steve Mnuchin serving as executive producers. With everyone else under the sun building toward a cinematic universe, it’s no surprise that WB and LEGO are doing the same, which will make fans (and collectors) around the world happy for quite some time.  Hit the jump for more. As Deadline reports, Ninjago will debut in 3D on September 23, 2016. president Dan Fellman had to say about the announcement. Source : Warner Bros & collider.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION International Trailer

Michael Bay directs the fourth installment in the Transformers franchise, which acts as a sort of reboot for the series and revolves around a burgeoning inventor and family man (Mark Wahlberg) who finds himself in a world of trouble when he accidentally discovers a beat-up Transformer. This international trailer isn’t drastically different than the previous one, but there are a few bits of new footage involving Wahlberg’s character. Though he’s certainly worlds away from Shia LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky, Wahlberg’s Cade Yeager appears to be filling the same hero/comic relief hybrid type of role, as he has a couple of comedic lines in this international cut.
Watch the trailer below.

Spidercam, High-flying choreography

The Spidercam is a system which enables film and tv cameras to move both vertically and horizontally over a predetermined area, typically the playing field of a sporting event such as a cricket pitch, football field or a tennis court. The name “Spidercam” is a trademark.

The Spidercam debuted at a grand slam tennis event at the 2010 U.S. Open as part of ESPN2’s coverage. It first debuted at a soccer match in 2003, but fans really took notice at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The camera is so mobile it can creep right up on a chair umpire, a player sitting in his chair during the changeover break or move right along with a player as they walk back to prepare to serve out a third set. At the Western & Southern Open this week, the shots from the camera are even sponsored by Emirates Airline.

So how exactly does it work?

“It is just like a kite, only instead of one controlling pulley, there are four. Indeed, the winch resembles a charkhari, that thing you hold in your hand, while instead of the dor or manjha, you have the cables transmitting a high-resolution feed to the control room.
