Lessons learned from Eric Goldberg

[Charles]

One of the modern day greats of animation, Eric Goldberg is seen in this video discussing his feelings about what's missing in both CGI and hand drawn animation. There's much to learn by listening to what he has to say.

The location looks to me to be the Burbank Marriott, and judging from the date of the upload, I'm guessing this is at CTNX 2009, the first CTN eXpo.

And here, he discusses pose to pose animation, and how it's beneficial even in CGI.
