A friendly space to receive and give feedback on each other's character animations. All skill levels and tools welcome.

Please note that all posts have to include a question or request for feedback in the TITLE, not comments. Your submission also has to be a character animation, video editing and animatics are not allowed.

Welcome to /r/animationcrit, a friendly space where you can post your animations and receive feedback!

RULES:

  • Your post has to be an animation created by you.

You cannot post someone else's work, commercial work, etc. Your post also has to include an animation in some stage of progress.

Animation in this case is defined by creating the illusion of movement through a rapid succession of handcrafted images. Recordings of your screen does not count as animation, low effort animation has to take rule 4 into account.

  • Title has to include a question or request for feedback.

This is a forum for giving and receiving feedback, and in order to encourage conversation around an animated piece the post needs to include a specific question or a request. It is not enough to simply post "This is my animation", the post has to show that you are interested in hearing what people have to say about it.

Here are a few examples of what you could ask: "How can I improve this animation?" "What's missing in this animation?" "What do you think about the art style?"

  • Title should NOT include inquiries for likes/views/shares.

We will assume that you are posting to this subreddit to grow and improve as an animator, and then likes/views/shares don't matter. If you are looking to share your animation with the world, try posting to /r/animation.

  • Animatics/storyboards have to be marked as such.

We welcome animation that is work in progress, however we ask that you describe where you are in the progress using one of these words in the title: storyboard, animatic, boardomatic, leica reel, blocking, or a similar term you think suits.

If your work is simply "low effort", meaning it's more of an image slide show than an animation, this will not count as an actual animation. Animation needs to convey the illusion of movement to count as such, image slide shows does not accomplish this.

  • Be considerate. Treat each other like you would a friend, use polite language and don't be rude.

Requesting Feedback

I made this in flipaclip in about 1 1/2 hours and other than the pacing it is decent. Anything else that I should fix?

help

I have never animated before and I am trying to create this animation which can be interpreted in different ways. The first interpretation is raccoon who wakes up early is successful and gets a promotion, the second meaning is the the cost of this “success” is being in an endless cycle of work, and third is the other raccoon who is late for work and is fired. The second interpretation is kind of more subtle, like a deeper meaning I guess Also I’m only allowed to use 2 colours. So I have made this “plan”, which I haven’t animated yet, but before I start I just wanted some feedback on whether it communicates the different interpretations clearly enough? And what can I do to make it better. this is for my first year university assignment 🥲

wip 2 feedback please

https://youtu.be/nkT_br6_whI

Hi, I had a second attempt at this clip. It still doesnt look right but I've been staring at it for so long I feel like I'm going blind. I dont know what to do with it.

Any ideas how I can improve it??

Also, how can I put the video embedded in to this post, like others are able to do? Do I need to type something before or after it?

Poledancing animation (Looking for feedback)

I hope it's okay to post this kind of animation here. It's supposed to be my main animation for my demo reel so I intentionally didn't add any fanzy camera movements to it to prioritize movement clarity. The model is Juri Han from the Street Fighter series.

Looking for all kinds of feedback. Does the animation look good? Is it fitting for a demo reel? Am I even allowed to use an official model from a video game as a character for my demo reel? Do you think I have a chance of getting hired with this animation quality?

Would be awesome if someone could help me out with these questions :)

Run cycle feedback

Any feedback is appreciated! I tried to focus more on weight and asymmetry in this animation so anything about those are especially appreciated! Thank you!

Apart from the final pose being quite awkward, what else could be improved on, even the coloring could use some improvement just don't know how.
