Patience
I continued thinking about animation after my last post and realised that I really need to just be patient and not treat it like a race.
I was expecting to just be able to finish a decent bit of animation without investing too much time into it, whereas the professionals can spend a whole day on only five seconds of animation.
I also had this misconception that I could make a model once and then animate it, but this is claymation… I’ll need to mess with and remake the model multiple times.
I’ve got more realistic expectations now, so I’m feeling better about tackling the animation.
I’m also not super happy with the colours and will be revisiting them.
