This clip shows you a page through of the book "Star Trek The Motion Picture - Inside the Art and Visual Effects" and as a Star Trek fan it's absolutely amazing.

Why I PREFER TABLETS over Mouse and Keyboard (Ergonomics Workflow)

Today's upload covers my reasons for using a pen/tablet workflow over a mouse/keyboard (... I still use a keyboard). Spoiler: ERGONOMICS! It's important to find a setup that allows for a repetitive work schedule without injuries. As an animator I have relied on a pen and tablet plus keyboard and marble mouse combination for years.
