What are your thoughts about this project?
Sorry I don't know how else to word this...I hope that makes sense. What I mean is is there a part of the frame you're supposed to keep key figures and movement within and part you expect to be cut off? I imagine that it's not as critical as a comic since you aren't physically cutting the edges off of the picture, but then again I don't know? It used to be that things were formatted for TV or not-widescreen and the sides WOULD get cut off, but I don't know if that's the case now - don't things tend to be released with their original aspect ratio now or does it really depend on the film? I was hoping someone also familiar with comics could weigh in. (Understand that I have Googled this but I clearly don't know enough to word the search in a way that brings up results that answer my question)

Please help, I'm looking for a cool animation I saw but don't remember the name of the artist or where I saw it, it's a short animation (5 to 10 sec) where a girl smells a flower and then her eyes open up as petals resembling the flower, it's all white until the petals part and it's in anime-ish style if that helps, thanks for the help
I know this isn't very sustainable but I'm broke and I can't get a drawing tablet at all.
Maybe it's possible to physically draw on a sketch book and use that to animate on my PC somehow? I'm learning blender.
I'm new to animating. Basically started yesterday.
Pls give some advice if you have any!
Uma vez eu lembro de estar no carro, saindo para passear em algum lugar que eu não me lembro ao certo, mas eu lembro de estar no carro e olhar para o céu e ver uma silhueta, como se fosse uma pessoa parada em cima de uma nuvem. Eu lembro que neste dia o lado do céu estava se abrindo tipo quando chove e o céu começa a ficar mais limpo, então eu só conseguia ver uma pequena luz saído do meio das nuvens e foi aí que eu vi a silhueta humana. Eu estou postando isso porque gostaria de perguntar se alguém já viu algo parecido ou se já viu algo diferente do comum.
How’s it going so far ? Should I post more parts ?
This is part 3 of a Dinosaur project I'm working on. Planning on making 5 total. Y'all can find parts 1 and 2 on my youtube channel ~
Not sure where to ask this question, seems like a really trivial task but I know nothing about animation and just want to do this for a class project. I like how the logo looks like a smiling face, and I’d like to do something where the G winks (maybe for our PowerPoint). Any ideas? I have a Mac.
Bro wha…?
Hi! This is my animation showreel that I compiled with some work from 2023/2024. There is some personal work and work I did during my internship. I’d like to know where I could improve, not necessarily in the animation but in the content of it. I personally think most of the animations are too rough and there should be more clean work, but I’m not sure about it so that’s why I’m asking! I’m satisfied with this one for now, but since I have some time i might make new pieces with your advice. Thank you in advance!
Leave your guesses in the comments.
For starters I'm doing all the animation, music, and script myself. It sounds hard, but I'm willing to put in the years of work this will take. I'd like to know some things to keep in mind. Anything at all, including things people don't like seeing in anime or things people do. I'd also like to know, is there a specific order I should work on it in? Like script, storyboard, voice acting, animation, editing and music? Or should I do it differently? Where could I find good voice actors? Sorry if this is a bit wordy. Thank you, frens.

Hi I want to create save the date invites for my brother's wedding, similar to the ones she creates (https://www.instagram.com/divinespace\_design/). We really liked these 2 save the dates: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtjOvkRIVSw/?igsh=c215cmM5NGM0ZGUw & https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrnoohlIp-R/?igsh=c29zcW5icmljNnMy in particular and want to create something like this.
A little background; We are Indian, my brother & his fiancee are from the same town so we do not need the 2 cities/countries thing that the invites examples and overall we want the Save the Date to be cute, fun, and vibey! Please can you help me with what software she uses & how to go about creating digital cards like that
Thank you!!!
Hey there ! So I was looking into getting started doing some terry Gilliam pythonesque, south park pilot style cut out animation but entirely digital if possible. Photoshop I figure will be well suited to chopping images ups and freeing them from photos but as far as animation is after effects or Adobe animate the suggestion that you all think would make more sense ?
Any resources or tutorials you would suggest to use to learn this style to start ?
Thanks !
