What to do when you can't do anything?

This doesn't have lots to do with animation but I find it an interesting visual reference of someone waiting to do something....

Rachmaninov did not use the trombone all that much!! :-)

Great video - wonder if it is for real...

I have just reread the Ed Hooks book "acting for animators". One of the points he makes in the text is that a person or character is never, 'not doing something', they are always in transition from or to an action or emotion. This clip illustrates that beautifully. The actions are not large but the concentration is, he's fully aware of what is going on around and anticipating and engaging in his part of it.

great clip.

thank you for posting it.

Here's the opposite... doing the same two-second thing repeatedly for 14 minutes.

Rob,

 

Really cool, funny insight on some of the twelve principles of animation. Specifically, anticipation, arcs, and timing but many others in there subtlety.
