Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose

Robot Chicken - Behind The Scenes

Above is a time-lapse from the production of 'Robot Chicken'. Because this show is created using stop-motion, the straight ahead principle applies as part of the core processes of production. This clip explains the linear format in which a few seconds are produced, only allowing planning before the shot.

Ollie Johnston - Pinocchio 

The first 3 seconds of this clip show key frames used by Ollie Johnston before the extended process of adding in-betweens. The line test depicts notes and measurements written next to Pinocchio, these would serve as memos and scales to help match in-betweens to key frames, establishing a pose to pose.
