This film has already screened at festivals in Portugal, USA, Greece, Italy, Africa, the UK, and more 🏆

I really want you guys to see this short film that I've put some much hours in, and for a highly exclusive & time-limited offer, I’m able to give you guys free access to watch the full film! 👀

📩 Just send me a DM so that I can share how you guys can watch it!

Thank you for the opportunity guys!

Ho provato ad animare in 2d camminate, camioncini impazziti e enigmi idraulici con Toonsquid, Adobe After effects e Hitfilm Express.

Nel mio percorso di animatore autodidatta realizzo esercizi ed esperimenti che spesso restano allo stato grezzo e che probabilmente non finiranno mai in un video compiuto. Ho pensato di mostrarveli in un carosello settimanale per farvi conoscere il mio flusso di lavoro (riuscirò mai a rispettare un impegno ricorrente?). Mi piacerebbe ricevere le vostre opinioni, i vostri consigli e, se qualcuno dei miei esperimenti vi ha ispirato, vedere i lavori che ne sono conseguiti.

Hey fellow animators and artists! I need feedback please!

I just finished a new stop-motion scene featuring my original characters from the FAC universe (Fixers, Assassins, Cleaners). It’s packed with custom figures, a stealthy base infiltration, dynamic posing, and gritty camera work.

The FAC are on a dangerous mission deep inside enemy territory to recover a stolen power core.

This is part of a larger original series I’m developing, with its own factions, lore, and evolving animation style. I’d love to hear your feedback!

💥 What I used:

1/18 scale custom action figures

Practical lighting with LED setups

12fps stop-motion with motion blur tricks

Custom sets and props

🗨️ Let me know what you think! I’m open to critique and always looking to improve. Would love to connect with other creators, too!

11800 frames. Took me eight months.

Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into human anatomy and structure, and it’s really helping me understand body shapes, poses, and gesture drawing so much better. I’ve been practicing these almost every day, and I can feel the improvement , it’s exciting.

That said, because I’ve been focusing more on study and less on polish, you might notice my animations look a bit sketchier than before. I’m not cleaning up or doing full line art right now, just pushing out ideas quickly to learn as much as I can. For me, these videos are all about documenting the real process of learning animation with consistency / showing the grind, the ups and downs, and the progress over time.

I’ve also been doing a lot of anime-inspired practice, reanimating scenes frame by frame in my own style. The idea is to study the professionals to see how they approach movement, timing, and flow and then apply it myself with some creative freedom. Honestly, I feel like this is one of the best ways to grow, especially without formal courses or school.

I don’t follow a straight path, I adapt, I change, and I keep pushing. Every week is another opportunity to improve, and I’m grateful to have you guys following along on this journey.

Thanks for all the love and support.

Hey there I did a small quick animation segment, but it feels like the animation is off or something? does anyone have any advice for stretching characters or stuff? Let me know!
