Oh man! That's really great! :)
Super advice too and something I've been thinking a lot about lately. As my eye develops and I continue to learn more about animation... the separation between student work and professional work has become more clear.. or I mean.. what I believe classifies it as "student" has. I've seen people who are really good at polishing, arcs, and spacing and such.. yet something is still missing? I think it really all comes down to acting. It's an intangible feeling that I can't quite describe.. but you can tell that the animator imagined they were the character by really connecting with them.. and you can feel that in the final product. Acting choices are so important to making the character feel genuine, unique, and alive.
Anywho.. lol, awesome video. Thanks for sharing! :)
