Hi Murray!
I loved this lesson, makes me want to animate hair right now!
Hello Murray !!
Good tutorial !!
hey wow thanks guys!I cant really take much credit, anton antin did those beautiful examples, and Joe Achorn animated that scene at the end, and Brad Cayford +'d the hair.
You almost have to be a "motion pervert" to be a good animator. hair is a really big aspect of femininity, don't think we guys don't notice all the work in the morning paying off in the spring breeze. on that note, Im off to spring garden road.... for ahem, research.
How can I see more tutorials like this? I am inlove.
Its funny you ask,if your talking animation in general, I wholeheartedly agree with michael sporn's recent post on good "how to" animation books:
http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/?p=1034
and if your talking flash, on the job is best(hey we're hiring, HALIFAX IS GREAT!!)
but this guy's tutorials seem not bad for puppety stuff, the basic ones are free:

basically when animating flash, you cheat; tweening and skewing and reuseing- until it's obvious. But as but your standards and tastes get higher in quality, you'll find your only cheating yourself.
if you learn from those books on animation, it won't matter what software you use, because you'll be an animator.and hey animation is nothin but work, so if you don't wqant to draw new drawings of the same thing over and over and over, become an illustrator.
this last paragraph from cartooncolin.blogspot sums this up:

let's not lose craft, because of the "done button".
Ok Ill get off my saappy soap box now, yeesh.
that's a great tutorial murray.
Nice job Mur! Brad! Anton!
thanks for posting Mur!

nice one mur!
long time no talk! great tut!
Richard Williams book on animation did for me what 3 animation classes at Art Institute could not. I have a question: I read both your and Jessica Borutski's blog on animation and you both said 'no tweening'. what do you mean? motion tweening in Flash? or inbetweening on paper? you just stick to keyframes?
Hello, I know that this is really old and I don't know if you'll even see it, but I'm an aspiring animator and was really interested in checking out this tutorial, but it seems to not be up anymore... Is there any other place I could get it?
