Oh, and no... I don't mean courses that teach you 3dsmax or Maya ... I mean, did you study the principals of animation? The raw basics?

I was passionate ... still some passion laying below the surface ... anyways, I went to a Richard Williams animation masterclass and spent some time with him chatting about animation etc, going through my sketchbooks etc (got him to sign them all :P)...

For those that don't know Richard Williams, he's an animation genius. One of a classic era of animators who are genuinely regarded as masters of thier craft. He was most famously the Animation Director on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and a little known fact is that the intro animation, of Roger running around the kitchen was ENTIRELY animated by Richard Williams alone, with only one animator working with him to do inbetween work.

Anyways... :P
