What can software developers learn from animation? Apparently, quite a bit. This post by Matt Linderman at 37signal’s Signal vs. Noise blog highlights some of the lessons that he’s picked up from studying animator Walt Stanchfield’s drawing and animation notes.

It’s nice to see this finally turn up on YouTube. A KITTY BOBO SHOW was a Cartoon Network pilot from 2001 created by Meaghan Dunn and Kevin Kaliher. It has a beautiful look and appealing character posing (if not particularly appealing character personalities). Lots of top-flight talent contributed to the short including background design by Dan Krall, bg paintings by Anna Chambers and Tim Maloney, and animation layout by Charlie Bean, Chris Mitchell, Albert Lozano, Aaron Springer, Carey Yost and Mike Stern, among others.
