John The Animator Guy. Passing On The Old School Ways. Sunday, March 8, 2015. This is my animation work area.

Seen below is my animation drafting with my old Filmation disc. This can handle both 12 field and 16 field paper. Here are my 3 Computers: Moe, Larry, and Curly! Links to this post.

I'm also planning a variety of ways each character can do a specific action, so that the player won't become quickly bored with the actions they are controlling.
