    I have a question About big companies and Indie franchises

    Why in the past It was so rare to produce a Indie franchise when It was more Common to a animator to sell their creation to big Studios like Nickelodeon Disney Channel and Cartoon network but now in the presents Why is the reverse with Indie franchises becoming more popular while mainstream séries get cancelled too sono?

    Being Different

    I’m on a mission to try and get at least 100 views for each of these videos I’m making - so far this has 4 lol

    Making a character everyday for 30 days. It’s a challenge but I’m being as disciplined as I can.

    I wanna learn elemental 2D animation. Need advice.

    FIRE, smoke, water, lightning, etc. I want to learn how to animate those. There is plenty of material out there but what I need is a practice method. What are the specific things that I need to do to become good at this? For example, Week 1 fire, sketch 20 pictures of fire every day... I don't know. I would love some direction on how to tackle this. Thanks

    Anyone got any tips for my animation thing?

    Hello, So I recently started trying to learn how to animate and made this short introduction for a longer animation. I rendered this out and tried adding impact frames but I can't seem to get them to look right, I tried hand drawing another set but those ones didn't look right either. If anyone has tips or resources that could help me out I would really appreciate it.

    Looking For An Obscure One-Off Animation

    I'm trying to find a well-put-together animation I saw it on Youtube around 2017 maybe. It appeared to be a proof-of-concept student project. It was hand-drawn or appeared to be hand-drawn in the style of Peter Chung's AEon Flux or Reign: The Conqueror.

    The setting: dystopian near-future

    The story: it starts with a hacker operating a wasp-sized drone that flies into a building through its air system, finds the target computer and gains access to the computer/network by directly interfacing with the computer's motherboard. he's helping a psionic woman find her psionic husband who's being tortured by a black government agency. the hacker locates the target, she teleports in and frees her husband. once freed he kills all his torturers Elfenlied style.

    length: maybe 6 minutes

    Randomly thought of it today but can't find it on Youtube and ChatGPT was stumped - it actually referred me here to find it!

    Before and After

    I am in my graduating semester of animation school. We did the pendulum project. The first one I spent probably an hour or so on about a year ago when we first did the project. I redid the project for my portfolio reel, it took 11 hours and 10 minutes.

    It kinda feels like I should have completed the second one quicker like I took too long… but both projects I did everything, animation, lighting, modeling the whole works.

    Either way Im happy with the improvement and thought to share :)
