Get into the flow

A big challenge in the animation phase is to get the right flow, in terms of pace, timing, rhythm and pauses. It is instantly obvious when the flow does not work. When this happens, the end result can feel stressful, abrupt, tiresome or unsatisfying in some way. To ensure
you get the right flow, check that the voice-over, music, sound effects, and actions are all in sync, like a beautifully composed piece of music in which all of the instruments complement each other perfectly. When the flow is right, everything should feel fluid, natural, and effortless.
