There's a school in Florida called New College of Florida. It's notoriously non-traditional, has a highly progressive student body, and a high proportion of LGBTQ+ students. It's also one of the best public colleges in the country and it's in the midst of a political takeover🧵
It's Florida's only honors college, is consistently highly ranked, and in the last 15 years has produced more Fulbright fellows per capita than Harvard or Yale.
(1/11) Hi. I want to try to explain a somewhat complicated thing about animating singing characters, in large part to help myself understand it better. I'm not sure I will succeed in explaining this correctly, but here is something that I think is true.
(2/11) Once a character has inhaled, accents will progressively introduce more tension until the character exhales/inhales again.
I think most singing characters are animated without enough tension in their bodies and I think it's because we haven't understood this properly.
