You know what it’s like to be one on one with your animation. It’s just you, applying your craft to create true art. You can get lost in it for hours … and the end result is nothing short of pure magic.

We’ve all been there and we love the feeling. But we also want to remind you that taking your animation seriously begins with taking ergonomics seriously.

Be sure to check out this great video on ergonomics for animators. This video is presented by Kenny Roy, a founding mentor here at Animation Mentor. Kenny details some of the ergonomic concerns he’s experienced — and how he’s moved on with the help of a few simple solutions.

This is invaluable information. At Animation Mentor, we care about all facets of our community. Ensuring your physical well-being is a great first step to maintaining and advancing your animation.

So be sure to take a break, stretch out, and sit up straight as you watch Kenny share his great insights.

Happy animating.
