Last night was our second time seeing Scott Lemmer in our live Q&A group. Scott’s still cool, but we got to see a different side of him last evening. Instead of meets, greets, and “getting to know you” intros, he went back over the 12 principles, stopping along the way for any questions we had.

Now, I’ve been exposed to the principals before, and read about the in The Illusion of Life and the Animator’s Survival Kit, but it was a totally different experience to hear about them from someone whose work is ingrained with all of them day in and day out. Scott happily fielded all of our questions and only ever seemed to be at a loss when confronted with conveying some of the things he was saying through the post-it sized webcam window. He did a terrific job, even with this limitation, and I think we all left feeling like we’d learned something.
