I'm a complete beginner to Fx animation, but it's the most fun I've been having with animation, your videos have been super helpful and insightful in this field I just wanna thank you for the great and hard work you put into your videos and animation.
Your videos inspire me so much oh my god, 2D effects is something I really struggled with, and I ended up going through a ton of your videos recently, I'm very glad I found them! I was looking for resources talking about 2D lightning and smoke effects to make my most recent video, it's the newest video up on my channel currently!! :D I feel like I learned so much by watching all of these, they are so insanely helpful! I've been really enjoying making random effects now, and experimenting with different material types!! Even all the stuff about you working in a studio, and what that's like- I would love to get into the 2D animation industry and I was a little lost on where to start, what I've learned from your videos has definitely kick-started my research! If you have time to review my latest animation I would be honored, seeing you upload a video always makes my day, I hope you continue to make content like this, super inspiring!
I didn't expect this to open my eyes so much, I'll try it even if I can't draw effects. I also want to see you critiquing other people's works and I'm especially interested in how they did it. intermediate level is much higher that 0 level like me so I hope a lot of people would send you stuff
Drawing on forms is super useful for any type of artist :D Illustrators need to decorate their vases, or couches. Characters have stripes on their clothes. All around useful skill, even if nothing is moving :)
I remember Disney's Hercules, I burned out a tape freeze framing thru some of the sequences. The titans were figuratively and literal walking FX monsters. I'll have to dive into blender 3D's grease pencil some more to give those techniques a try.
perspective is something that's always been hard for me in general, so this is a really great tutorial and if you do more similarly in the future I would 100% eat it up! I actually used your waves/lines method at work for an organic animation last week, and it was really a life saver! (unfortunately I can't show it hahaha, but it's there).
Organic perspective is SO helpful. I would like to do more videos on it, but in the mean time , there's a youtube channel called "Phil's design corner" that will keep you super busy :D
Great demo as always. You're so fast the way you interact with Harmony, you must have a very fluid set of hotkeys. If you haven't already made one perhaps a video explaining your harmony prefs / speed tips?
I have one in my rigging playlist called rigging fairy 0- or something like that. It has a bunch of my tricks. Most of it is just experience. I don't like to do work twice so I save a lot of templates and even if you only learn 1new hotkey a week it adds up. :)
Hello, your work is very inspiring, I am new to toon boom and I wanted to know what is the best rig for a snake that has to climb around a character when animating, I have been looking for this information for a long time, could you help me? please
There's really no such thing as the best way to rig something. In this case, I'd just go with a pretty standard rig that lets the snake move in a way that's easy to animate, and handle the ladder complication with cutters or extra ladder-layers.
Hi. Love what you do. I have few questions for you. From how many years you are making animation? Where did you learned it? How much salary do you get?
I've been animating professionally for 14 years. I went to Max the Mutt Animation school and completed the 4 year animation program, the rest I learned on the job. I don't discuss salary, because it's so different regionally and based on individual skill sets. Even within a studio salary varies wildly based on skill and experience.

Watching your videos is like watching magic! Excellent!
I should definitely make videos OF magic!
