The Art of Thumbnailing

Good animation begins with good planning One of the first things an animator should do is thumbnail his

scene By thumbnailing we mean creating small quick drawings which provide a blueprint for the poses in the

scene

By working small and rough the animator can try out a number of different poses and come up with the best

approach to the scene before committing to animation This is the stage where problems in staging and

acting can be resolved Once you have worked out the action at this small size it is easy to blow it up on the

xerox machine and paste it up to start your scene

This set of notes shows a sequence from Disney’s Rescuers where the animator has worked out his staging

and action in a series of great thumbnails
