    Hey animation graduate here! What you’re talking about in most of your video, the ‘popping thing’ is an actual and important technique called overshoot! For anyone who wants to dig further into it, check out the 12 principles of animation, anticipation and overshoot is one of them :)

      @swirliesweets 8 дней назад +65

      Totally agree! I was thinking about commenting on it too, since it’s kind of overlooked in animation tutorials. It’s super helpful, and really makes the animation look realistic/fluid

    Animation student here. These tips are really good! Some of them did actually help me out.
    I do want to mention that for the full body movement, the first example could work if you simply put one extra frame where the character goes past the key frames then returns to them. Now in technical terms this may sound confusing, but for example, let's say your moving your arm to the right. Before you ever move your arm to right, you move it slightly to the left first, and vice versa. The more power you need for a movement, like, per se, pitching a baseball, the more you'll move that arm in the opposite direction beforehand before actually pitching it. This is called anticipation and is one of the fundamental principles of animation that they teach in school.
    Basically if you added some anticipation on the first example of the full body movement, it legitimately could work just fine along with some other minor tweaks.

      Procreate Dreams is alright but it’s honestly not a great animation app. If you want another app, I’d recommend ToonSquid instead.
      But flipaclip is pretty great if you’re mainly making short frame-by-frame animations! So if you’re comfortable with that, there’s nothing wrong with continuing to use it.

    I am so ignorant of what app this is-- it looks like an ios thing. I've been really close minded about using anything other than wacom, but I am tempted still by the oled screen and simple animation apps. I honestly wish that rebelle & rebelle IO would be fully supported on an ipad-- or at least clip studio paint EX. Regardless, just like your examples, there is a lot of fun & learning to be had from have from such a flawless smooth workflow-- but idk. I am still tempted to try out the movink, but I am so loyal to my old tools that I am even willing to learn how to properly solder motherboard components just to keep her alive & healthy-- but I cant expect her to do 16 core+ workloads on a 6 core system...its just not fair to her!
    Anyways, back to the video, I am still learning how to properly animate my style of paintings. Mouth animations are going to be particularly fun for me since I have a couple of references in mind. Your shorts have been so funny Lavs! Both in context & in your way of animating your characters

    Animation major graduate here! Most animators are taught to do inbetweens with poses, but you can have multiple end points, so you wouldn’t just mark the starting and ending pose, you’d also mark the very middle pose. Then you do the inbetween frames. :) but the second method is also super cute!! I’d add like one transition frame in between poses just to make it a little more seamless, but that’s my own take:) both methods are good when you need them

    The "before" blink could still be useful for certain scenes - a slow, deliberate blink while she's processing something, say. You know, "Um--" s l o w blink "--what are you TALKING about?" Or to emphasize that a character is really zoned out - like another character asks, "What do you think?" and they blink like that.
    Man, though, the "after" blink looks really cool.

He has been manipulating the fl, pushing to murdering, to commict crimes without explaining why, saying "this all for your best", intimidating her even stabbing her with a knife, and now Miriam has called all that behaviour "flirting". It is so hideous. He hasn't even apologised. People claim his behaviour was "for the greater good and the sake of his people", but tell me how this affect the freedom of his people?? It has nothing to do. Please, denounce the situation, it is so crazy. 🥲🥲🥲 Their fans even called me frigid for saying I don't like how the toxicity of his behaviour is ignored.
