Our Four-Legged Friends (Blog #23)

Let Me Start This Up:

. If you analyze multiple movies you notice that now, many or almost all have an animal or creature companion or side character in them. It is essential to know how to animate an animal the correct way since they are prevalent in movies and shows alike.

. With characters, show the differences. Every being is different in their own ways so display that in your animated characters from appearance, to walking and all of the above. You want to be different, and showcase your individual style of reel or animation of movement and character. With animals and creatures though, mixing both the animal and human feature brings the character to life, giving them a more relative and relating sense.

.   Just like humans, animals are controlled by gravity and psychics as well. Give your character weight, a most realistic sense as they move in different ways.

Twice the Opinion:

. In my opinion, I agree that drawing animals is a requirement, thought I don't that everyone needs to know how to. Like me, I'm crap at drawing animals.

. I think the whole "We need to have a witty animal companion at all costs" is just a copy and paste ploy. I mean, I DO like some human and animal companionship in animated movies but, not all the time and when it's not needed for the storyline.

Now for YOUR Opinion

. If you were an animated character, who would you want to be your animal companion? (I would want a hedgehog)
