Since I was selected to learn violin at the age of 7, my dream has been to become a professional musician. Or, at least, it’s been one of my dreams. You see, becoming a musician is more than difficult. It’s one of those careers that’s almost impossible to make a living from. Especially today, with… read more»
Inbetweening — more often called ‘tweening’ — is an animation process, involving filling in the frames between two poses or ‘keyframes’, to create movement. Those inbetweening frames are a transition from one state to the next. As I sit here writing this, I’m preparing to start a new learning journey.
