PLANNING: THE INCREDIBLES

I'll go over what my method of working is NOT from a Technical point of view, but more from a Planning point of view. Each area is a big area in animation.

First of all, whenever I start working on a new shot, I try to keep it as fun as I can regardless of whatever deadlines we have going on. So I try to spend a bit of time at least exploring out the CREATIVE OPTIONS and POSSIBILITIES of whatever shot or sequence I'll be working on. In the end, I keep reminding myself this is work that I want to be as good as possible for years to come, however, I also want to have fun during the process. That part to me is just as important.
