If you find this helpful I have animation workshops for more help! Sign up! spungellaonline.blogspot.com/p/faq.html UPDATE: OOPS! The Croods clip was actually done by Bryce McGovern, not Jamaal, here's the link to the clip: vimeo.com/210549852 We are almost done with this series! Silhouette and Polish is left! I hope it's been helpful!
Woww... That was super useful! I'm junior artist working on basic pose to pose kinda show... And I'm learning at home with some personal shots and exercise.... And making it organic is always interesting to me... Please make more of these where u explain in detail how things get improved from layout to blocking to blocking plus to splining and finally to the polish in single shot... Sometimes my experience doesn't allow me to see those details in breakdown of a shot... So this was really good for me.... Thank you so much...!
Offsetting is the key, but I think that you have lot of experienced, and when you get your first job, Did you feel nervous about that you can't complete your first animation
Does this channel have actual videos capturing the workflow such as showing the actual dope sheet and graph curve manipulation or is it pretty much showing animation examples and explaining what’s going on? As a casual beginner, I understand the spoken concepts, but seeing how to actually get the concepts accomplished would have been nice.
Thank you JD, another great video! Love those Maya examples especially! One question... Do you use weighted or non-weighted tangents? Thanks so much bro!
Thanks! And depends on the action you want to convey. Chances are no if for instance the head leads the action it will move at different speed than the chest which, etc.
A method I use is pose to pose and then go into the dope sheet in maya or the graph editor and offset different parts of the body. Would you recommend doing this?
Hi Jean-Denis, what style did you mention at 11:44, "...super cartoony, POCOYO..."??? :) I'm not a native speaker, so I haven't got what you said. Thanks!
That crood animation with the heavy lifting is good hmmn I'm sure Disney or Dreamworks etc.. would give a test like heavy lifting. But this is different not just your typical student heavy lift he's also doing something else while trying to show something heavy. I think I'm going to check out this movie hopefully its' on netflix.
Nice now I know how to use offsets to lead the eye and to have more beliavable movement but I am also scare because I lIke to hit everything on the same frame for more snappy cartoon look still I guess I can use more offsets as I desing the movement like in the Crooks example. It looks like offsets are more heavily use in character acting and subtle action not so much for games and cartoon.
Ya-Ting Bai I did! I show the process here: ruclips.net/video/Z8e9dt_cTVE/видео.html which is for Maya 2020. In my next tools video I’ll show how to do it for previous Mayas.
@@jeandenishaas Thanks for replying me Sir, knowing you as a great animator but also a great teacher, I have something in mind that needs your advice. I am a student of 3D Animation, I used most of my time animating but It just get bored sometime during the day, my mind just wandered, I knew that I need to animate more but I just didn't want to. I have an idea to leverage my free time by learning new skills like Modeling, Rigging, Scripting, Drawing maybe a new language to reset my brain, and also expand my horizon. My question is simple, If you were just like me, bored during the day works and you decide to learn something new that benefits you in the long run as an animator. What skill would it be? Thanks in advance.**English isn't my mother language, I hoped you get my idea.
@@ThanhVo-wc3tm I get the idea and don’t be sorry! You’re awesome for knowing multiple languages! When it comes to other areas, I really want to go back and learn how to draw. I also love rendering and making things look cool, sound design and editing I love as well. Learning Japanese would also be cool. 😁
@@jeandenishaas Thanks for your sound advice, It was my honor to receive such cool advices. And yes Japanese sound really cool... I did not anticipate you listing Sound design, I thought that you need to be somewhat prodigy to produce any types of sounds. My pick today is drawing since it's cheaper and easier to start. And again thank you for your time and experience, your work here on this channel is great Sir.
Fried Frog Legs Animations That’s a tough question only you can answer. Do you like what you’re doing? Do you want to animate something else? Can you financially and schedule wise?
Sir..can you plz provide me the female walk cycle...with all kyes.... I mean....i want to know that how to give the boby offset on chest...while walking time....and plz that i able to see that how you set all the kyes for Animation and also offset...🙂
Thank you sir i have a question for you im loosing my interest in animation i dont want to do this anymore what i do i cant do this correctly so confused 😔😔😔
DaDaDee Official I’m sorry to hear that. 😕 Not sure how to help as I don’t know your work or how you work. It does take time and practice though. Patience is needed.

This is a gem, just when I was polishing my animation right now, and saw the notification, thank you Jean-Denis
Vickk Mure You’re very welcome! Great timing!
This series keeps getting better and better. The examples you used were great. Shame theres only a couple more episodes left.
ak2010utube Thanks a lot!
And don’t worry, I have years worth of material to show and I haven’t even started with demos! (coming this summer!)

Happy to help! And will do!
Another great FNA video, thanks JD. Can't wait for the next one, stay safe.
Bricen Gorai Thank you very much! And same!!

Dynamic Dhairya Oh absolutely! It was nerve racking! But I was also surrounded by people who were very patient and helpful!
@@jeandenishaas Thanks for your reply, This message will help me in future when I turned 18

Workflow clips are coming!
Sir...i watched your video til da end! and will aplly it to my animation
😁👍🏻
That's cool but how does work mechanically, aren't the keyframes becoming more chaotic and harder to follow?
Depends on how comfortable you are offsetting keys. You can also build the offsets into the poses instead (or mostly).
Super well explained Jean-Denis
Thanks! Happy to read that!
Thanks JD. Really useful tip.
Sopanha Eong Glad to hear that!
Thank you JD, another great video! Love those Maya examples especially!
One question... Do you use weighted or non-weighted tangents? Thanks so much bro!
Simi Papi Thansk a lot! And great to hear!
I use non-weighed tangents. I don’t do that much work with the curves, it’s mostly done through posing.
thank to this video,my animation are becoming more and more interesting
That’s great!
This is great! Do the parts still take the same amount of time/frames to move?
Thanks!
And depends on the action you want to convey. Chances are no if for instance the head leads the action it will move at different speed than the chest which, etc.
@@jeandenishaas okay thanks
Peter KRUZAH Sure thing!
A method I use is pose to pose and then go into the dope sheet in maya or the graph editor and offset different parts of the body. Would you recommend doing this?
Thomas Muslmani Absolutely! Many people do that. I create the offset in the pose, but sometimes go into the graph editor as well.
its so good! thanks for sharing this for people like me who dont have school in naiamtion
Thanks! Happy to help!
It's pure gold
Thanks!
Hi Jean-Denis, what style did you mention at 11:44, "...super cartoony, POCOYO..."??? :) I'm not a native speaker, so I haven't got what you said. Thanks!
That’s the one! Pocoyo is a super cute show with very fast timing and so well done!
@@jeandenishaas I see, thank you!
@@vitaliistep Sure thing!
Thank you Bro. Nicely explained
You’re welcome! And thanks!

Did you set a hotkey for show/hide curves? I wanted to add a hotkey to do that but didn't find the option in hotkey editor though...
