When we’re starting out with character animation, we tend to rejoice when we finish a single render. But for every animator, there is the desire to do more, to actually combine the individual renders into a single, cohesive story. The problem is that for many of us, it’s a whole new level of complexity when we start looking at going beyond an animated clip and into the realm of film. Film is a new language to learn, and while there are many very reputable film schools scattered around the world, there are several free film schools available to those who seek them out.
Now, we’re going to talk a lot about the craft of filmmaking in this article, and everywhere you read filmmaking just substitute it with Poser Animation. For our purposes, the two are indistinguishable. The techniques may be different, but the language of film is the same as the language of animating with Poser or Daz|Studio.
So, what are these film schools? They are the Public Library, Film Festivals, and the Internet.
is a welcome entry into a relatively unexplored field of Poser Training and reference material, but more advanced Poser users may find the book to be somewhat lacking. As a primer for character animation with all versions of Poser, however, this book serves quite well and is really meant for people just starting out with Poser animation.
