Sleeping Beauty Live Action

In the early stages of animation, the Disney company referenced a live model doing the actions of the main characters of the film. Here's an example of how animators would stand in different positions as the model dressed as sleeping beauty would perform the actions:



They fixate on one pose, then as she's continually moving they keep sketching, referencing her as she moves. This is an interesting way to work, since they are able to capture the movement of the dress and hair flowing through mid air, so this proved to be a much more effective way of capturing the right figure rather then if she was standing still.
