I watched my first real online class today, taught by Carlos Baena. He started with the basics of animation: the 12 principles.

It’s extremely nice to see these principles brought up so early. Back at university’s program, I didn’t hear of the principles until second semester of my junior year. The fact that they are touched on in this first lesson gives me a lot of confidence in the program.

So anyway, It’ll be nice to get more aquainted with the principles from professional viewpoints. It’s got me excited. I’m going to bust open The Illusion of Life in a few and go back over some things.
