Expert timing and spacing is what separates a slide show from a truly amazing animation. TED-Ed demonstrates, by manipulating various bouncing balls, how the smallest adjustments from frame to frame can make all the difference.

Hey Anthony, so why did you decide to work on and submit this animation to 11 seconds club in the first place?

Well, I really didn't plan on doing an 11 second club animation but, a co-worker of mine asked me to listen to the audio, just to hear my thoughts about it. Initially, I felt it had potential, but it would be hard to find something cool to do. I realized the challenge that it it would present. A lot of times, some dialogue pieces can be very limiting but, with a sound clip you can really open up, and stretch your animation legs. That was one of the main reasons I decided to work, and submit this shot.

Brian Horgan, iAnimate member, has fun showing his process in his making of 'More is more' shot he's done here at iAnimate.net.

Interview with iAnimate Feature animation instructor Ken Fountain during the mini-pixel presentation event in Quebec city (Canada).

I joined iAnimate Games to bring my bodymechanics up several levels. What convinced me in the first place was animation friends enrolled with iAnimate who where creating amazing work.

Its been 7 weeks now and my instructor, Richard Lico taught me very concise what was working for me and what wasn't. With his guidence and feedback, I improved my sense of posing, timing, workflow and when and how to add detail. I now not only move with elegance from blocking to spline, it also became a very enjoyable experience.

Not bad for the first 7 weeks. :)
