Ok, so you have this cool idea for an animated short, huh?

If you want it to bee really cool, you have to pay attention to a few more things than just arcs, overlapping and all animation principles. We have also to manage a way to tell our story visually.

And where can we find info on this? Well, Wikipedia is not the ultimate source on this, but it helps a little:

• Continuity Editing;
• Establishing Shot;
• Shot reverse shot;
• Eyeline match;
• 180 degree rule;
• 30 degree rule;
• Montage;
• Soviet Montage Theory (or Discontinuity Editing)

And, changing a little the subject... did you see that 30 seconds preview of Presto?
