"My animation process revolves around straight ahead animation while still looking back and trying to keep the proper form of the characters, and mostly relying on held frames, to create a technique that admittedly, I could think of a shorter name for, but I think "straight-ahead trying to look like pose-to-pose" does accurately describe my animation process."
