From Plymptoons.

Bill Plympton’s School of Animation continues with a private lesson for an aspiring animator, where he shares his trade secrets, inspirations, and techniques.

In this session, Mr. Plympton guides his student through the Layout of how he wants his rough animation to look – He animates a walk cycle from one end of the page to the other, pointing out the detail of footprints in snow left behind as a trail and incorporating the background into the action of the film.

Class 5 is over the halfway point of our curriculum where the lessons are now comprised less of observational learning and lean farther into hands-on drawing and absorbing the knowledge through experience and experimentation.

Due to the lack of quality to the footage as the result of exploration of recording techniques, we’ve edited in a video from a different Bill Plympton class of him animating a different scene from the same short.
