NOW! Let’s review what was covered about your Capacity for Animation Production, or your CAP.
|
- Broadly, it is the amount of animation you are able to produce to the required quality standards within a specific amount of time.
- So, if you had to produce Pixar quality animation you might only be able to produce 1 second per week.
- Yet if you had to produce low-budget tv quality animation you might be able to produce 30 seconds in a week.
- This is your CAP.
|
- Sleeping less or pulling ‘all nighters’
- Taking fewer or shorter breaks
- Ignoring the fundamental Principles of Animation or ‘cutting corners’
|
- Bad Animation Habits
- Burnout
|
- This is because: We will never get more Time.
- But we can gain more Education
- And more Experience
|
|
- Greater Speed.
- Higher Quality.
- More done in the same amount of time.
|
|
- Energy = Capacity to do work.
- Physical Energy
- Emotional Energy
- Mental Energy
- Spiritual Energy
