Love the passive aggressive post-it note placement.
The hedge hog!!! So tiny!!! The animation at the start I'm like: fun, cute, and then we see it in your hand - so tiny!!!
I keep telling my self to work smaller, but good paper puppets, they just need to be X big to get the right balance of details to function. I realized the other day that I'm working at the same scale as Aardman, but I don't have that kind of studio space. At least everything I've made so far is flat and is easy to store.
Haha! I enjoyed slapping them on the table like that, it looked boring when I did it softly. Was nice to try a different way of showing information. Yes, very tiny!! I always tend to work small... not sure why, I know it would be a lot easier to scale up... and work bigger sometimes :) Ah yeah, those jointed puppets you made were great - its hard to make them too much smaller. Like you say it would reduce function and movement to do so. Space is always an issue... even I struggle with that and I have a whole area dedicated to animating. Just got to make the best of what we've got - I think you are doing super well with your creations so far :)
WHY THIS CHANNEL IS SO UNDERATED!!!!?
Aww, thank you 😎
This is so adorable! I love your little hedgehogs!
Thank you so much Beth 🥰 🦔 🍁
This was really enjoyable, It's great to see another how-to tutorial 🦔 .
Thanks so much, this one was a lot of fun to make 😊
Very cool tutorial. I love how cute that hedgehog is!
Thank you! The hedgehog was a lot of fun to make 😊
Wow tortor that was a great animation. I don't usually use loops in animation. But this was really helpfull just in case I want to get creative with my video intros. You are always so helpfull tortor. Keep animating!!!!! And have a great rest of the week 📸🎬📽
P.s. cute hedgehog
Haha, everybody loves the hedgehog 😂😍 Thank you so much and you have a great rest of your week too Harris 😊👌
@@Animatortor You to! Glad it's a Thursday
Nice video! Never thought of using the drawing tools in Dragonframe to help with looping.
Thanks so much :) Glad I could help! Yeah, those drawing tools can be useful for so many things. Going to have some more Dragonframe tool videos coming up too - there are so many neat little hacks a lot of people don't know about in that software :) How long have you been using it?
@@Animatortor I've been using it for around 2 months now but not as often as I should... Its hard to have both free time and motivation these days. Anyways, thanks for all of the awesome content!
@@frame2frame353 I totally feel you on having the free time and the motivation, for me it is the energy also... sometimes I have the motivation and time, but no energy - ugh. All the best with your future work and thanks so much regarding mine :)
Thanks for the tutorial! I am currently trying to figure out what software I should buy because I just got a camera, but I am just trying to decide if dragonframe is too complicated or if I should just go for it. Thanks!
My pleasure!! 😇 If you are serious about stop motion Dragonframe is a great piece of software to start learning and if your aim is to be an animator at a studio they will all be using it too. If you know this is something you want to do longterm and not something you are going to get bored of then I say go for it! It's pretty easy to learn and there are loads of tutorials about 😊
great tutorial thanks
You're welcome! Thank you 🥰
Your amazingly talented!!🔥🔥
Aww, thank you so much!! 😊
@@Animatortor Your welcome 👍
Question are there times when you use only toggling between frames or only onion skinning, or is it best to use a combination of both?
Another great trick is to make your start (and end) frame in the middle of an action, instead of being a 'keypose'. It requires a bit more planning, but it works every time.
That's a great tip, definitely another good method to get that perfect loop - thank you :)
So do you need to make sure all the leaves, at least the top onesm, are in the exact same spot in the pipe they were in the beginning? Like if there was say a green leaf between an orange and a yellow one on top of the pipe you need them in the same places again?
Roughly in the same place, yes. You'll notice I wiggled the leaves every frame and so part of doing that was to disguise the join as well... but if you can get the two frames to match as closely as possible for the loop then you would achieve the best looping result :)
@@Animatortor ok. I also tjought they wiggled because the hedgehog wiggled them. I've done little loops in my animations, but my latest one had no looping. But thanks for the looping advice. My brother said ne noticed where I've looped things in them, but maybe others won't notice. But I know I can get better at it.
Ah yeah, they were wiggling because the hedgehog wiggled them too. Sometimes looping on a moment of action can help conceal a join... so make an action like an arm swing or a jump or something the beginning and end and sometimes that can hide the join better too. I think brother's sometimes say stuff like that to be annoying, so don't take it to heart. You will get better for sure, the more you do the easier it will be :)
@@Animatortor good idea doing the loop at a place like that. I'll try that. 😊
Very wow video love it ✨🔥😊
Thank you 🙌
