Today we continue animating a dialog character animation shot in 3D in blender. A great watch for anyone who wants to figure out how to animate. I will talk about the principles of animation and the best animation workflow to create animation going from an animatic, to blocking, to splining to a finished acting shot.

Just starting to learn animation? The tips in this video will help you to understand and master this magical skill quicker.
This is the beginning of a complete course that will show you how to animate step by step.
Tip #1: Deliberately practice single aspects of animation.
Instead of creating an animation where you have to get everything right at once, you should do many small exercises that tackle only one problem at a time.
Tip #2: Get feedback from mentors and other artists.
More experienced people have a good eye for mistakes. But you can also learn quite well from people who are just learning too.
Tip #3: Increase the difficulty step by step.")
