Most Common Animation Mistakes - part 1

Time to kick off a new series and this is all about the most common animation mistakes. There's a set of pitfalls students fall into all the time and this list is a collection of things I've been seeing over and over for the past 12 years.

 The items might sound broad but I will go into a specific section of the broader term and pick apart what students get wrong over and over.

The list is as follows:
 - blocking (which I have covered already, check it out here => Blocking Playlist )
- ease in/out
- arcs
- spacing
- one frame direction change
- one axis
- no repetition
- proper balance
- offset
- silhouette
- polish

Polish is a big and broad topic for sure, so that one might get its own series.
