Miku Miku Dance: Life Changing!

I am keeping my eyes open, now, more than ever.
Just watch the world around you and imagine how you could translate what you see into a Miku Miku Dance animation. See how

See the Bonus Pages for More Walking info!

people walk, how they turn, how kids run and jump. Watch people lifting things and how they shut a door or throw a ball or throw a kiss. Also … watch cartoons and Anime with the new awareness you have acquired.

I have long been an anime fan … an otaku! Watching something like the old Ranma 1/2 series with my new eyes lets me see more than I used to. The animators of Ranma 1/2 used a nice tool kit of methods to minimize the amount of animation that they had to produce. Long camera pans of a still image … distracting music … and repetitive sequences drastically cut the number of Key Frames required for each show.

We can use those tools, too. Even if we don’t want to run everything through a final editing in another program, we can still use repetitive sequences and amazing camera work to enhance our animations.

Keep your eyes open … keep thinking of the possibilities … keep dreaming … have fun with MikuMikuDance!
