John Lasseter on Using Tradional Animation Techniques for the Computer

Came across a website that has lots of great advice from John Lasseter of Pixar. In it, he gives great examples on the following:

• Keyframing Tips and Tricks
• The Thinking Character
• Weight and Size
• the Moving Hold
• Emotion (I got to read this one)
• Readability
• Story Tricks

Definitely worth reading if you are an animation student and have not read this yet.
