Bill Broeckel’s shares his opinion in facial animation polishing

Puppeteer Lounge animation instructor, Bill Broeckel shares his opinion on facial animation polishing:

“Often times when animator run into polishing the facial animation, it
becomes intense and confusing! Keys get shuffled all around and you need
to be able to keep track of them so to spot errors quickly, or when you
have a hiccup and are wondering what’s causing it. The curve editor
will of course come into play as well, but not as much as for the body;
it’ll be more of like a rough pass to get some curves going and then the
rest is just placing keys and not worrying too much of what the curves
are doing.”

Keith Lango Animation: Going dark…

Recently I was doing my routine round up of animation blogs and websites. I came across a post by Keith Lango, who is a great animator and has been a blogger for a very long time, stating his blog post and all the online resources that he shares to the community will no longer be updated. So he mentions in his final post that he is retiring from animation blogging and online animation teaching.

I have been a great fan of Keith Lango and I thank him for all the hard work he have done, sharing his valuable knowledge to the online animation community. His blogs and videos will be a great resource for generation to come and remembered. I personally believe his online archive is an epic library!

I wish him all the best with his endeavors and thanking him for being a great animator 🙂

Check out his final blog post over here…
