James Baxter Animation Webinar hosted by Escape Studios. In this webinar James animates a scene based on audience suggestions, showing how to plan and execute hand-drawn animation.
THIS IS PURE GOLD. I wish more animators did this - show the process on how you start a scene. We want to see what your beginning drawings look like and what you consider to be the most important elements in starting out a scene! There exists so little of this, but to see James doing it is a real gift. Thank you for this!!
How wonderful it is to watch this webinar! James Baxter's work has been a such a big influence on myself as an artist and animator, and getting to see him in his element is truly a privilege. His process feels almost oddly organic (in a good way), compared to others I've watched who has an almost mechanical way about things, but I really enjoy this approach of very much "feeling" the motion. And what a pleasant-seeming guy as well! Thank you all for taking the time to make this happen. :D What a treat!
Most TV shows are 30-40 seconds a week (2D digital puppets). At least they used to be. I once turned down a job that had a quota of 60 seconds a week. Shows like Green Eggs and Ham had much more reasonable quotas like James mentioned.

Glad you enjoyed it!
The fact that we can sit here and watch this master animator work is incredible. This is invaluable.
What an interesting process. It's not at all what I thought it would be. Your brain works in a fascinating way.
James is a genius
