Impact frame practice
I created a youtube video with my top 10 list. What's your top pick? Cartoon community please show my new channel some love, with some likes and subscribes 🙏 😅
I need animations for videogame project, Mocap is too expensive and I am not a masochist to move evrything frame by frame
go easy on me, i've never really animated before and this took me like a week 😅
Animated in normal procreate. Did I do okay?
How do you add a second counter to your storyboard animatics? I've been seeing this on the industry storyboards and would wish to know how to add this.
Currently for digital work on my computer, I'm working with a cheap Huion (no screen) drawing tablet. I'm usually creating single scene mess around animations but I realize I have a much easier time on my phone than on my tablet since I'm able to draw on the screen.
I'm thinking about diving into more long form animations like a short animated series (think Suction cup man). What I'd like to know is, is there a reason you would go for an entry level tablet instead of an S8 or an ipad? you can fetch a tablet on Back market for pretty cheap, But I really like the XP Pen 15 inch tablets, which are a bit bigger than your standard issue tablets at 8 inches. I'm no professional that needs all the features of Krita or Photoshop or Adobe animate, but I animate key frames and tweens so I work pretty thoroughly.
On the other hand, I also fly, so a tablet can be dual use in that case. I don't get option paralysis a lot but I... definitely do here. Thanks for any and all help!
I primarily did this one to experiment with some ideas and actually use two different software (being GIMP and OpenToonz). Might try another one involving flowers and even nature itself in a more ambitious animation project.
Right now, this one was done for learning and experimentation.
I feel as though I've been really struggling with doing too much with my animation, for example ive been really wanting to do animation memes, little short animations with not TOO much work poured into it with loops, but I always tend to overdo it and make it more like a full blown music video animatic... tips??
Hi,
I'm currently looking for a specific animation on YouTube, but I can't seem to find it and would appreciate some help. Basically, it's a massive fight scene where one guy is trying to buy a drink from a vending machine, but then follows an animal down into an alleyway where he gets into a fight with a near infinite amount of thugs. His powers kinda break reality and he snaps his fingers to use them if I recall correctly. The animation seems to be Korean ish.
I'd really appreciate whatever help you can give me here, thank you!
I'm trying to figure out how this little logo animation would have been made?
So I decided to come here for advice on what to do and what resources to use.
