"Congratulations on the workshop!
The online one sounds interesting as well but alas, I don't really have the time. Maybe I can catch you sometime out in my neck of the woods. Happy animating."
"This site moves much slower than others Count Croc. Give it time. People are busy animating and creating puppets!"
"I have a ton of unfinished projects as well as one project that's been going on for over 10 years. I too would like to hear from others who suffer from this and have been able to work around it.

"Yes, go through the reference footage and find some key / extreme poses. The X-Sheet, which I've never used a traditional one, is exactly used to plan and help you remember what happens when. Put notes that help you. Like, Arm Fully Extended on…"
