Breakdowns - How to define motion

Breakdown poses are the animator's most important tool to define motion. Find out how you can use them to control acceleration, arcs, as well as overlapping and follow through action.

6 years now and this video is still relevant, The Explanation is top-notch and easy to understand

Fuck man. You explained animation better than anyone.

[gamedevnow]

Best explanation on breakdowns on youtube I've found so far!

[biblicalbee]

Just Amazing. How is this free content? this is so well done?! I actually feel like i understand breakdowns. You are a kick ass teacher. Very Clear .

[bigboss]

Damn, you've explained your points so well. Finally broke my mid-point breakdown bad habits.

[devendradev]

Really very good explanation, it's a worthy to watch in 2024 😊

I appreciate your videos and I think they're very useful for people new to animation but you're using the term ease out and ease in incorrectly. The traditional use is that you ease out of one key frame and you ease into the next key frame. I'm only pointing it out because people watching your videos obviously want to learn animation and it would be very useful for them to learn the correct terminology. Also makes my job as an animation director easier ;)

your videos are invaluable, and to think they are free. Thank you

Very underrated YouTube channel. Love the video

[liukang]

So good, and I've only seen a quarter of your video. You explain better than a lot of top notch pros from Disney etc.

great job! such a great explanation. I've needed this clarity for years. thank you

[sramaxhiku]

Thanks so much for this video! I'm going into my second college year of animation in September and this video really helped me remember how to approach a new scene.

It's also very helpful of you to name each step and clearly demonstrate what those terms meant. It can sometimes be hard to follow what a teacher is explaining in class when they assume everyone already understands. Watching this I had a lot of 'aah' moments of sudden comprehension. :P

great exposition--happy I found your channel

[peselancarhandal]

Ok, I never said it before, so it's time I do : you guys are doing a fabulous job !! I love your articles, I love your 51 exercises list that I'm gonna try really soon, I love your lectures, I love your interviews (god, I don't think I have ever learnt half as much in a hour than I did watching the interview with Samy), so thank you so much !
That had to be said :)
Now I have a question for you : are you planning on doing some master study ? Extra Credit analyses some game animation, and that awesome, and I'd love to see something like that for feature animation. You know, like taking an amazing shot from Glenn Keane (or anybody else^^), and talking about it while drawing over it to pinpoint all the things that makes the animation so great. I think that's the one thing that's missing the most on the internet (or maybe I just didn't find it ?). There is everything I need to analyse any shot I want by myself, but I'm sure with that, my novice eyes, there's so much I don't even notice.

This is amazingly helpful, thank you for the lesson!!! I love your videos

Hello guys !!
I just wanted to express my gratefulness to you guys for doing this amazing job, My dream is to have animation as my professional career and this videos are gems.

The way you take a seemingly simple character, and move it around looking always appealing, is incredible to me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and I hope someday I could give this help back to you.

Cheers from Colombia and I wish you the best. :D

Sorry for my english.
