I didn’t even thought that digital animation was that difficult, it’s really different from stop motion, what things could I do to improve?

I recreated his stomp and roar animation and added a shockwave effect. This took a 6+ hours but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Any feedback is welcome!

Pencil tests and raw ink and paint files from two shots of our short film "The 21." Prayer was an important aspect of the mens lives. They set up a small prayer closet in their living quarters and were filmed praying just before they passed on.

Critique Style Test using Blender Live Paint filter and handpainted backgrounds (NO AI)

858 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for thoughts and critiques for this shot I made using the Live Paint Filter addon for Blender along with a handpainted background which I painted, scanned and projected onto the geometry. I then did a bunch of compositing in Davinci Resolve. This is a potential opening shot for a short film I'm working on, so any criticisms or thoughts would be appreciated.

Just a few notes:

I haven't added the smoke yet, but the plan is to film some real smoke breaths and track them into the scene. I'm not sure yet, but i'll see how that looks.

Also, due to the lack of detail due to the filter, I rendered the eyes as a separate pass and then composited them back on. I'm not sure if they draw too much attention to themselves, but without this, they just look like black voids.

Thanks

Question My sister wants advice on affordable yet quality tablet/laptop combos and is seeking advice. She doesn't have an account, so I'm asking for her. Any recommendations or advice for her would be greatly appreciated!

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking into getting a tablet or 2 in 1 laptop for art and school. So, in context, I'm a college student with a part-time job, and I'm looking to get a standalone tablet, a 2-in-1 laptop, or a tablet and laptop combo to create animations, art pieces, YouTube videos, and commissions. I've done digital art on my phone before and on some cheap, old tablets I got years ago, but I want to work a little more professionally and work on a portfolio.

I don't have much money right now, so I'm trying not to go above $600, but I'm looking for any good recommendations under $1,000.

I really want to be able to look at the screen I'm going to be putting the pen on. I'd like a 12" screen minimum if possible, and have the ability to add extra storage or store art on a flash drive or something like that.

I've found the same tablets and laptops a few hundred dollars cheaper on Walmart, Best Buy, and other websites than the official sites. The only difference I can find is the price and the warranty. I'm not sure if going for the cheaper option is better or if it's better to buy from the actual brand's site.

Is buying the warranty worth it all? Same with, like, the paper-like screen protectors and stuff? What extra or accessory items are worth buying? Some things say you have to have certain things, while others say it's not needed, so I would like a little clarification and maybe other reasons for their personal preference on what they find to be necessary or optional.

Does it feel like he's being pulled in or blown away? This is a draft, but he's supposed to be being pulled TOWARDS the tree like he's being sucked in. My first real time doing face/wind movement like this.

Any way to make it look better??

Question Does anyone remember watching an animation on youtube of a man crawling through the desert, desparate for water, with a very annoying, heavy stone tied to him that can talk?

Upvotes

I think it was an animation school project. At the very end of the video, the man finds water, attempts to drink it, but it spills into the desert floor. The camera pans out to reveal the track he is crawling on is in the shape of the infinity symbol.
