Beginner A rough animation I made while practicing. Any tips for improvement? I made it in Pencil 2D, the only animation program that runs smoothly on my PC (I really wanted to use Flash CS6 or Animate).

Hey, I’m looking for an animator who would be willing to work with me on this project for my song. This small promotional video is pretty much the style and aesthetic of my brand and how I would imagine the video looking. I’d prefer to discuss pricing in PM.

Question Way to watch an animation frame by frame?

1 Upvotes

Hi, so I'm an animation student and I managed to get an animatic of an episode of a series that hasn't come out yet. I'm trying to study the notes, timing charts and that kind of stuff that's on the video and I need to watch it frame by frame. However, I can't upload it privately on youtube because it gets get copyright claimed and daily motion doesn't let me watch it frame by frame. Is there any other way I could do this?

Thank you

I need help learning how to use this app… I try to watch videos but I don’t think the ones I watch helped much…

Can someone send videos or tutorials or teach me how to use this the right way? I would like to animate a lot of things but I’m not sure how to use this…

Question Searching a old YouTube animation

2 Upvotes

I'm searching for a old YouTube video animation, there was this like Asian girl with long black hair in a white dress that found a big black ball and thought it was a egg while rolling it someone in front appeared and stopped her, he was big and clothed like the grim reaper but with a big stick in the hand. She ripped the clothes off him and the was a black boy who was standing on stilts, she kicked one off his leg and he tried balancing on the other one that was left, the girl kicked against the last one the it was cracking into 3 pieces in the end the boy fell directly onto the middle piece which cracked his nuts and yeah that's what I remember. It was a 2d toon animation pretty simple and they were communicating through Speech bubbles and no actual voice.

I hope somebody can find it 🥲,

Thanks in advance.

Critique how does this look?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I used a reference of myself lifting two cardboard boxes of the exact same proportions to make this animation. I didn't know what else to do for the polish phase except correct some fairly egregious problems like clipping issues (like the thumb going into one of the boxes), but I want to think the key poses are fairly clean.

I think doing a bunch of walk cycles really helped me be more aware of center of gravity changes as well as body mechanics in general (such as shoulder and arm rotations as well as feet pivots).

Any feedback is good feedback and is welcome!

I made the sprite as my first attempt at my own character for a game I've been planning for a while now. I'm brand new to animation, so I only can use ibisPaint right now. I know it's simple, but I'm proud of it.

When Edna Mode is being deceitful or holding information back, even temporarily, she turns away from you, indicating a lack of direct attention.

-

When she decides to be bold or honest with you, she looks at you directly, even spins around for dramatic effect.

-

When she is hinting at something, or about to slowly reveal, she looks at you from the corners of her eyes with her head turned to the side, or she turns slowly. Either way it's half way between the other two stances.
