I have taken this Tool Simplicity in Middle section of Ultimate ToolBox, because it holds all those tools together.
It’s one of most important Tool , one must master is, this Tool Simplicity.
Stay simple .
Some people think it takes million complicated steps to make something look incredible or to do something legendary.
It doesn’t !
To Make something look complicated but actually doing it in Simple way is the magic.
One of the thing I learned while doing programs during engineering is no matter how complex thing you have to achieve through program , there’s always Simple way. There are so many ways easy ,hard ,complicated ways of doing one thing.
There was a assignment , the belief for most of class was its huge and so complicated and hard.
When I did it myself , i realized it was easiest program ever , just most guys were doing it in many complicated ways.
Most of the times some guys with huge passion and excitement do insane amount of hard work but they don’t see the simple solutions.
Whenever I talk about Simplicity , some people say,” you mean , be lazy ”
No it’s not that , it’s just being more creative, not get too much overwhelmed.
Sometimes someone goes crazy , he thinks, here I have created this simple way of doing this , why all are doing it in complex way , may be something is wrong in my way , how can all the people be wrong .
Tell the guy that , he is smarter and inventor. And probably there is someone he doesn’t know but already have created Simple way of doing it.
It’s like Generalization Tool ,we can’t draw out conclusion that everyone is doing , but someone on the planet or may be so many guys we don’t know , already have the Simple way but we just don’t know these guys . Right?
Even when starting always start Simple and build upon that get some momentum. You will learn that in Actions tool too.
Starting you animation short , starting your story , starting your own character start simple and later build upon that.
You know secret , in our career in animation while learning on our own there will be times when we will be doing some things in really hard way and later learn or develop the simple solutions for it and it’s part of learning process.
That’s why we must have this Question always with us ,
Is there possibility that I could do in a Simple way and produce even more efficient results?
Create your own ways of you will be able to do using your Notes, Questions and rest tools.
