    For the new people out there, you should always make character designs before animatics

    • @alexc8726
      @alexc8726 Год назад +29

      I agree, and turnarounds are also important because it helps you figure out how to animate the characters if they move in certain directions

      Should we make sth like sketching or a detailed character design

    • @starkwon7299
      @starkwon7299 Год назад +10

      @@omrceo neither, you need to do something that will help/guide you, when you're drawing the character, it's not only going to make the animation art more consistent, but it can also makes the process easier; I recommend to not shade too much or to not do unnecessary details, so it can be easier to understand how to draw the character correctly. Just the character on the art style of the animation is good enough :)
      there are multiple videos on yt that helps how to do these ref sheets!

    I freaking love the animated background the speakers' avatars are framed against. It's like an extra scene set after the events of the short film, exclusive to this video, and a moody backdrop at that. Makes me think of a well decorated exitway after a themepark attraction.

    At the beginning of the year I set myself the challenge to make an animated short film with at least 5 minutes until the ending of the year working only by myself. It is a pretty big challange and its going to be really hard but I really want to set myself a big goal this year. All the times that I tried making an original project they had character arcs, complicated lore and extremly big world building but with no plot, I was basically trying to make the next avatar of my first ever project, so the point of this challenge is for me to create a simpler world with a simpler premise that can actually be presented in 5 minutes, something that I can make with a full story, so I want to at least get a complete storybord/animatic, just for me to prove to myself that I can make something with a story. This video is helping so much especially on organization, thank you for making this video! I hope this project works.

And I have actually watched the short film before but I didn't realise that the characters who came in to ask for candy were the makers themself.

    Haven't watched the video fully, but can I just say I love how you interpreted the audio from your friends by giving each voice a character (I'm assuming in everyone's individual art style). Seems like you were on a video call, but then you brought all the characters together into one space so it looks like a conversation, which is actually more engaging than a regular zoom display. So cool!

      I really felt it when you guys' animation got triple the length you guys initially planned,
      I'm working on a small animation project myself, and going into it I thought at max it will be 1 minute, but now it's a 4 part series clocking at about 5 minutes.
      I constantly wonder if I bit off more than I can chew, and doubt my abilities to actually complete this project, and I feel very vulnerable putting a pieces of myself out there. It's a kinda scary to think that something I made will be out in the open, open to criticism from anyone who sees it, and I fear I will somehow let down a bunch of nitpicky critics who probably only exist inside my head lol

    THANK YOU, i know so many of you guys (by that I mean I looked up to you before this video...) and generally calarts students are freaking great! Especially you guys! I'm an animation student too but couldn't afford to study in the US and thought one school in the UK would be good enough... unfortunately it is a huge scam! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge it gives me hope and still gives me some shot. lol

    Woow its an amazing process guys. Congratzz. I was wondering what type of brush or effect did you use to get that fuzzy effect. The one that got inspired from the Gobelins short movie.

      42:08 talks about the fuzzy effect technique! It’s done with the power of After Effects :)

    I wish I had a group of friends like yours. Sometimes I wonder if I missed out on meeting people like this by not going to art school.

      It depends on which art school you go to imo
