Force and Forms

We make drawings as a record of forces and we shoot these drawings in sequence to create a relationship of change in the form of the character.

Let’s review what we’ve stated about force just so it’s really clear:
1) Mood, Being and State of Mind are the forces which dictate Body Attitude,
Action and Expression.

2) Emotion and Attitude are the the forces behind the drawing.
To create a force within your drawing you must understand the:

Mood, Being and State of Mind
also known as the
Emotion and Attitude
of the character.

These forces will be manifested
or show themselves through the
Body Attitude, Action and Expression
of the character you have drawn.
Read what’s in the box here a few more times just to make sure it’s firmly ground into your mind.

This is the essence of what separates amazing animation from the average stuff you’ll find in most animated productions.
