3 Rules of Animating:
1.) Eye line: Characters need to have eye line or the illusion will give it away.
2.) Physical Interaction: In "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", they used a mechanical robot for guide in their film/animation.
3.) Shadow (Light and Shadow Accuracy): they use 5 different shadow and light for each frame (e.g: Bump the Lamp scene from, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?")
