Sound Effects

I just found this site for free sound effects. www.grsites.com/sounds.

There is a tutorial site that I just heard about. www.expertvillage.com. There is a movie sound design segment that looks very interesting.

Animation and Dope Sheets (Exposure Sheets)

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to mention about Dope Sheets. Basically these are sheets that show what action to what dialogue to camera movements are going on. 

The Animation Post is a good area to describe about Dope Sheets.


This stuff is defiantly worth a look see. 

Next is a screen shot from the Toon Boom Studio Program. It shows the different mouth sounds and movements for making a character talk. This really helped me out when I animated Tiki-Bob. Of course, this character doesn't have eyes. You would want eyes and to make them blink. 


Also another good bit of information is my Animation Cheat Sheet. This is a flow chart of information about the making of an animation. 

Well that is all for now -- Cheers!
