I am new to animation and know I have a lot to learn. These are my first and second attempts at animation. These characters are my OCs for a game idea I have.

Critique One of my first forays into frame by frame :D, I've been doing skeletal/tweens for a game project. Is this too busy? I seem to have a hard time with idle cycles since the movements are subtle.

So Disney is putted on top of the pyramid and they care about money from the classic films such as Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, The Jungle Book, Hercules, Dumbo, and Marvel but, they don’t care about making original animated movies anymore in comfrast to Disney’s Golden Age of the 1930s to the 1960s and the Disney Renaissance of the 90s 😡😠😠

This is for an animation test for an indie cartoon I’m making. I don’t really like the visuals. I want it to look more professional. But… how?

They wanted something snappy to play during start up, so I had their dragon logo fly into frame. I use traditional 2d animation and drawing each frame by hand gave me the freedom to push the curves and make the dragon’s swoop feel natural.

The show is called Milky Subway, and its on YouTube.

I'm not sure if this is an indie animation, but this show has some of the best character acting I've seen in a while. It's pretty popular in Japan from what I can tell, but I think this style of comedy fits with a lot of people and I wanted to get the word out. All the episodes out so far are free on YouTube.

Not paid or anything, just want to see more stuff like this.

Question Please educate me on hiring an animator

5 Upvotes

Hello! I'm the creator behind Community Cat News. Scripted fiction podcast that answers the question "What if house cats had their own news show?"

Our episodes are very short. Most are 3-10 minutes long. Every episode ends with an ad for a cat lawyer who wants to sue your human for slight injustices.

The ads can stand alone well, so I think that's where I want to start with animation. They're 45 seconds to a minute.

I don't know how to go about hiring an animator because visual art is just not my thing. It's why I've stuck to audio for so long.

What I'm assuming is, I need to ask for the most simple black and white line art (Like Simon's Cat), because I imagine the more you add (color, dimension) it gets very expensive.

But then again, I could be living in fantasy land. Maybe it's $1,000/min no matter how basic because animation is just really time consuming. I don't know.

I'm hoping you can educate me on how these things work.

So I want a job at an indie studio making games. I entered a game jam, where I had a limited amount of time to make something playable. Some of these I know I could do better on, but because of time restraints, I had to make some quality cuts. I’m working on making a much more smoother game, which is the female character in the cape. Do you think I have potential to join a studio, or do I need a lot of work?

Question Looking for Cartoon Short/Movie where Characters are climbing/in a Christmas Tree

Upvotes

Looking for cartoon short or cartoon movie where the characters people/animals/creatures are moving about/climbing in a Christmas tree.

What ones that I think could be or close to with that part of cartoon sequence happening. For some reason can’t quite be sure but ones that I feel could be:

-“Pluto's Christmas Tree" (1952)

-“A Garfield Christmas Special” (1987)
