squiggling as I go

stomp
The more I animate the more I look at other animation with a different eye. Looking at Bob's animation I find myself deconstructing it. What's moving, how it's moving, and sometimes how I'd do it differently.

Right now I'm very dissatisfied with puppet animation, which seems to be the standard for almost all flash animation these days. And it just doesn't feel like, well, animation. Not that I'm all that much for the Richard Williams school of realistic and shooting on ones. I'm obviously in the rubber hose school, so I'm pretty much working at odds with the mechanics of puppet style. Is it more work? Maybe.
