THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXTREME DRAWING IS BEST ILLUSTRATED USING PENDULUM ACTION (SEE PAGE 136). PLAN WELL-DEFINED ACTIONS (SUCH AS A WALK OR RUN) BY FIRST DRAWING A PATH OF ACTION USING PERSPECTIVE (PAGE 74), AND THEN RENDERING THE SAME CYCLE DRAWING IN PROGRESSIVE POSITIONS. THE IN-BETWEEN DRAWINGS ARE PLANNED WITH SPACING CHARTS (WHICH ALSO INDICATE THE "ARC" OF THE ACTION IN CASE OTHER ARTISTS COMPLETE THE SCENE) AND ROUGHED IN BY THE ANIMATOR. THE IN-BETWEENS CAN RADICALLY CHANGE AN ACTION-EITHER IMPROVING OR STUNTING IT.

THE MOUSE IN THE EXAMPLE DEMONSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF POSE-PLANNING. THESE TYPES OF SCENES ARE BASED ON THE DRAMA, GESTURE, OR ATTITUDE OF
POSES - NOT THE SPECIFIC ACTION. THE KEY POSES MUST BE CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO ENHANCE THE ACTION, PRESENTATION OF DRAMA AND MOOD; THEY REINFORCE THE STORY, SCENE COMPOSITION, AND DRAWING POINTS.
