Helps to keep your characters on-model (ie consistent looking).<\/p>\n<p>And: Just because it&#8217;s in the script doesn&#8217;t mean it needs to end up on screen. You can let the audience fill in the gaps. If your story needs a character to put on or take off clothes\u2014a lab-coat, say\u2014show them starting\u00a0to take it off, then cut away while they actually peel it off. Cut back as they&#8217;re straightening their clothes. Done carefully it looks and feels naturalistic, tells the story, and saves you a ton of animation\/cloth simulation that the audience doesn&#8217;t really care about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A corporate project from a few years back: a narrative animation, character-driven, with cel-rendered characters within a 3D world.
