Lists Are a Helpful Tool in Animation
Tips & Tricks with Dovi Anderson

In this Tips & Tricks video, Pixar Animation Studios animator Dovi Anderson discusses the importance of organizing feedback and criticism through note taking. Dovi uses and creates working lists for various changes to be made in his animation. For instance, while watching the blocking pass, Dovi will make a list of all the areas he'd like to tweak in his shot. He refers to the priorities in his list as an "animation triage," meaning that he focuses on what's most important first. Dovi suggests tackling the biggest issues first then moving down the list to less important changes.
