Breaking the rules
Thanks to John McMurtry for passing on this clip about the physics in animations. Looks like we are all teaching these budding animators the wrong thing, so what sort of physics are they learning. I think its funny when Damon Riesberg says to one of the animators "that just wouldn't work in the real world", well most of the film wouldn't. Another out of context quote is Alejandra Garcia "physics has become another science". It's great stuff and I guess what they are saying is that they are using the same sort of models used to model the real world to model their imaginary one. So within their world you have to obey the rules but they aren't the same as the rules we use. That course on "animation physics" sounds interesting but is it physics?
