Animation Students:

If you don't know about Mike Nguyen's animation blog RAINPLACE , then get it on your bookmarks list and visit regularly. Mike has some of the most detailed and thoughtful pieces on the nuts & bolts of animating that you will find on the internet ---


Recent topics included : Fielding a Scene (the effect of field size on the perception of an action) , Amount of Extremes to use when animating a scene, Phrasing , Squash & Stretch Applications.

Great stuff ! This is one of a handful of blogs that I would gladly pay a monthly subscription fee to view. However, Mike is such a generous , giving spirit that he is giving it away for free. (seriously, Mike you should at least put up a PayPal "tip jar" for those who would like to contribute to support your efforts)





In case you don't know , Mike is directing and animating an independent , self-funded feature length animated movie "My Little World".

  3. Mike's movie reminds me of Ponyo. I had to check IMDB to see if he was one of the animators, but I guess he wasn't.

    Thanks for all your animation articles.

  4. I work for California Cedar Products and would like to let you know that we will be re-releasing the Blackwing in the coming months. It is said to be the best animation pencil of all-time and we have bought the rights to it. E-mail me if you have any questions at jcentanni@pencils.com or follow us on Facebook (The Pencil Page) and Twitter (pencilscom).
