Animation Tip: Internal Silhouette
Villain poses are often scheming and hunched. Clutching their evil plans close to their black hearts. So how do we, as students of animation, get to create a meaningful silhouette?
It could be well argued that one of the best villains in animation from 2007 was Bowler Hat Guy from Meet the Robinsons. He shows the importance of having large (spider-like) white hands in front of his black costume for those villainous, scheming poses. Those hands form part of his internal silhouette.
