In my class I start the hard way to make sure everyone understands how hard it is to animate. The first exercise is making a droplet of water fall on a leaf and drip off as realistically as possible. From then on it's only stick like characters and the first exercise is to have a character get from a chair while twisting to the side and looking away.

Yeap, but eluding a problem is not equivalent to solving it, unless you want to train "skipping" animators ...

I would be curious to see the result, have you a sample of this student's exercice to show us ?

Don't you know Zig, the humankind improved itself by searching "lazy" ways to do something
