ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an exercise for frame-referencing the position of one human subject. This exercise is best when filmmakers have the availability of many people. The reason this exercise is great for a group is because everyone gets to be the central figure in the animation, a peripheral figure, and the animator. This is because everyone has to rotate positions every frame. The constant changing of the people in their positions is too active for the audience to register clearly but the centering and registering of the eyes and mouth (if possible) will help hold the audience's focus. A continuous action, like a wave or having each person position themselves in a sequence of positions for a particular action, will hold the audience's focus and attention, and that makes this exercise very interesting.
