>>5951355There's a surprisingly tiny "essential" bibliography for animation theory, anon. Read your Thomas/Johnston, your Williams and maybe Blair. The keys are there, but it's likely you need to practice them to actually internalize them properly. And don't use the methods and principles as a checklist; understand them and eventually do your own thing.
Just avoid YT videos about MAKING CUPHEAD WALK CYCLE IN LITERALLY 5 SECONDS or THE PRINCIPLES OF ANIMATION IN ELDEN RING SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON. It's just the same thing infallibly explained by less capable teachers.
