Animation studies

So In addition to all of the animation I am doing this summer and the reading. I have also been studying animation that I think are very good or have something special. Basically I am analyzing others animation that impress me. One of the first things I looked at was blinks because I was having some trouble with the blinks in the shot i was working on. I opened up Up and found a shot that had a variety of blinks in it and started to analyze things about the blinks. some interesting things I noticed was that every one of the blinks I looked at had more frames on the coming up than on the coming down. Also for the most part the closed position always held for 3 frames and I found it weird that over those three frames the lids didn't continue to compress or anything ( this might of been because of the poor quality of the image) I also found this new way to blink which I call the squint blink. which is a blink but the lids do not close completely they both come inward and break the edge of the iris, hold and then go back to there original locations. the timing and spacing are the same as a regular blink but the lids just squint.

Here are the notes I wrote up
