4. Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose

"Straight ahead action" means drawing out a scene frame by frame from beginning to end, while "pose to pose" involves starting with drawing a few, key frames, and then filling in the intervals later.By drawings we mean making a pose here(for people who are not familiar with 2D animation)

"Straight ahead action" creates a more fluid, dynamic illusion of movement, and is better for producing realistic action sequences. On the other hand, it is hard to maintain proportions, and to create exact, convincing poses along the way. "Pose to pose" works better for dramatic or emotional scenes, where composition and relation to the surroundings are of greater importance.

Computer animation removes the problems of proportion related to "straight ahead action" drawing; however, "pose to pose" is still used for computer animation, because of the advantages it brings in composition.

Me personally feel more comfortable with pose to pose that just a personal choice that doesn't mean its better than other its just that me end up making crap with straight ahead method :p.
