My planned out new animation!

After not planning out the animation. It inspired me to plan one out and see how helpful it is.

So this is what I wrote out on a word pad....

--------------------------------------

Turn around

Someone is calling the name of the ball. He turns the other way to look and realizes the person isn't on that side. So then he goes to the other side to look. His left foot is planted on the ground and the right leg swings over for the last turn. The feet is stationary when he looked the wrong way.

This character is comfy and very "cool". He is just turning around because he heard someone calling his name and he is curious who is calling. Like you are waiting in line and then you hear your name.

Before he turns around he is patiently waiting in line looking around. After he turns around a ball is thrown at him and he stumbles back. After that he stares at a the ball and then he looks at the person that threw it at him all serious. He knows who throws it because the person that threw it was right there. So he doesn't look around. Now at this moment he is mad.

Then he is about to kick the ball. Anticipate it like he is gonna kick it hard. But then he lightly kicks it with his toe.

Then the ball roll of the scene.

------------------------------

I tried to get everything that was needed to make this animation good into this description of it.

Now I know why the top animators don't go to the computer/drawing(except doodle key poses) until they know what they want.
