The teacher, Don Wass, describes the process that his students used in making their animation programs. He briefly explains key framing, the use of a storyboard wall and a timeline, different camera positions and angles, changing facial expressions (on a dog), making three-dimensional objects move, and more.
A musical background adds to the delightful and often humorous animations. This video is a good companion to Crystal Production's video, Computer Animation, which features a demonstration of basic computer animation by Don Wass.--B.H.
