fluidity in the 1963 series

[jeffbert]

I watched the Fred Ladd interviews the other day, & recall him saying that with the NBC $ received for the 1st season, the animators were able to increase the fluidity of the animation in the 2nd season.

Although there are a few episodes that stand out as lacking fluidity, the 1st season as a whole did not seem lacking it. As often as I watch it, I still cannot recall much difference. Can anyone else see the improvements?

What is fluidity?

The ease of motion from frame to frame in animation. Like it to water, the ulltimate goal of all animators is to produce a film where you don't have jiggled gaps and skips in character motion.

I think with computers they have deffinatly achieved their dream.
