Eye-nimation

Ooohh I've got lots of posts for your this week! Some researchy ones, some study ones, all sorts....

Starting with an animation based based post, I found some cool videos and reference, and got pointed in the direction of some too!

First off, this is a dooozy, I had watched this a long time ago, but re-watched it today, and it made even more sense, definitely one to keep bookmarked. This is all about the graphical simple shape of the eye, how to use the whites, and what it communicates.


What I learnt: "Use your avocado's to communicate well" ;)

Another one from Ken, which takes us back round to the eye dart information and saccades that we were talking about on facebook and earlier in the eye posts. 

My friend Amanda sent this one round the office and it's a great close up technical video on how to animate blinks and get them looking all fleshy and yummy

And another....
Here's a very cool summary by Angie Jones on animating eyes, lots of notes and very succinct :)

And to end with a bit of eye tracking, it's not the most tuneful music, but it's interesting having the eye in the corner and seeing how the eye anticipates the notes.

Thank you to all the people that made these tutorials, they are super helpful, and get us a little closer to understanding the eyes!
