Animating The Eye Dart

[@RrowdyBeast]

"Darting the eyes" came from literature, usually a visual description for when somebody was frantically searching for something, or just frantically thinking. Lot of animators take inspiration from books as well, so I'm guessing some of the terminology transferred over

The term is saccades

I think the one they did last year about eye darts is better than this one.

Do you have special course for animation

This is grossly overused in live action cinema, usually to express a close up of a character’s emotional moment where they quickly swap between looking at the other character’s eyes. It’s a very poor representation of reality because it doesn’t exist in reality. Just a cinema gimmick.
