Writing the script to create the animation

“

- [Instructor] So, I wanna review the steps. Before you even start your animation, you wanna make sure you write your script. You wanna know what action you're doing when, what poses you wanna use when. You wanna create a timeline or an outline and figure out how you're gonna use your key points. So, if we go back to our jack in the box, you can see I've got some orientation changes here. So, let's just run that animation. Notice I've got isometric here at the zero second. I've got front view at the fourth second. I've got iso1 at the sixth second and I've got iso close-up at the eighth second. So, I don't have any movement going on. I don't have the handle going or the jack in the box coming out, but because I'm changing the poses and using these different saved views, I'm creating an animation that has a certain amount of interest in that things are moving around and things are happening. So, using these saved views can be a very, very powerful tool.
