Jamie’s Tips for Animators (Part 2 of… many)
If you’re going to be doing more than a couple of hours of rotoscoping in your lifetime, buy a graphics tablet. You won’t want to use it exclusively (sometimes a mouse is more precise), but it will be worth it. Get whatever size you can afford. You can always buy a bigger one when you’re a success… I’m sure it’s much harder to be a success with RSI, and a life without that misery is worth at least a couple of hundred quid. Swap between your mouse and pen whenever you begin to feel uncomfortable, and make sure to take a break!
Hey, shameless plug! I’ve started multimedia production company called Super Mega Action Plus. We make cool stuff like videos, websites and other fancy things to make whatever it is you do look as great as it possibly can. Even if you don’t want something made, go have a look at our creations… oh, go on. Thanks!
