Art Babbitt told me there was no such thing as 'set timing' at Disney's.<BR/>Metronomes are used to set 12 beats, et cetera, but when you are experienced you know what they are like, and don't need a metronome to set beats. They are, or were, for beginning animators.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03559138404570089435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10632065.post-23090466358989521422009-03-18T16:30:00.000-04:002009-03-18T16:30:00.000-04:00As far as timing goes, I read in the Illusion of Life that Disney Animators would plan their shots with a metronome. Is that something that you do as well?Pandalopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06657352371813877868noreply@blogger.com
