Animators are
story tellers; animation should always have an idea behind it, one that
tells a story.
Junior animators focus on learning technique - and technique is important. But it is also important to think carefully about the story behind your shot.
Who is your character, and why are they doing what they are doing? What is the scene about? What do they want, and what do they fear? These things are important because if your shots forms part of an
interesting story, it will be much more interesting to watch.
