Shere Khan Linetest by Milt Kahl (scanned by Colin Giles) from Alex Petreski on Vimeo.
Milt used poses to communicate his intentions, often focusing on a single drawing. Milt’s scenes tend to have very strong “tentpole” poses; what happens inbetween them is often the same motion (headshakes, hand gestures, etc.).Milt seems more considered with making awesome drawings that animate beautifully.
Referring to the Shere Khan/Kaa sequence in Jungle Book.
Milt has set it up so you only look at one thing at a time. He crafted the scene so that when Shere Khan pops open his claws, everyone is looking there. Nothing else is moving. (Waste of time to always be moving all the background characters).
Your eye reacts to movement, color and contrast. Use those to direct your audience’s attention.
