Blend Shapes!

I was looking for a very basic little video about Maya blend shapes, and this lovely Southern gentleman posted something that was simple and very easy to follow. Plus he actually tells you what menus you need to click on to do stuff!

His accent just adds to the greatness. It's a very simple video, but definitely something worth looking at if you want to animate some blend shapes for facial expressions, etc.

Disney Copy Machine

Disney had great footage they used to trace snow white, apparently they wanted to recoup the cost by re-using that. And some other great animations.
