The Firehouse Five Plus Two

Music isn't just used in animation; it can be a key ability for an animator. Animation is performance, with rhythm, timing and a lot of non-verbal expression. Music reaches audiences at a similar deep emotional level. The Firehouse Five play "Jingle Bells" Dixieland style, while apparently playing hooky from animating. But how did the camera get in there - and on a camera crane yet?

Animate with Disney's Glen Keane

Find out more about Glen Keane on Wikipedia. The link opens in a new browser window.

This is from a lecture given by Glen Keane at CalArts. Watching an animator at work is usually as exciting as watching paint dry, but Glen narrates his process as he works. Keep an eye on how much he rolls the drawings to see the motion and how he adds elements to successive drawings rather than finishing one drawing at a time. He is drawing motion, not making drawings move.
