I attended a masterclass with Kyle Balda (ILM, Pixar) over the weekend and he demonstrated his approach to animation which uses a layered method rather than working pose to pose. I've only ever used that method for walk and run cycles so I was curious to try it out with something different. A very simple test but I learned something from it that I'm sure will come in handy for more complex shots.
