    I'm surprised at how actually detailed this tutorial is. I'm not even kidding when I say that I've NEVER seen a tutorial this detailed and explained so simply. Even a beginner would understand this. Love the examples too! They make it so much easier to understand. Most tutorials leave me confused, but this made everything clear to me.

    The rebellion of teaching people things for free is the greatest, most heroic, mostly godly and noble thing you could possibly do. We have deprived ourselves of knowledge so much today in favor of profit and it is heartbreaking, disheartening, and infuriating. Thank you for this gift.

      Today? As opposed to when? We're moving in the right direction; today we have more freedom of information than we've ever had before! In the past, trade secrets were guarded by nepotism, guilds, political boundaries, and class. Knowledge was often kept to the literate and literacy was far from universal. Even the great library of Alexandria's vast knowledge didn't always make it past the doors onto the streets of the city in which it stood, because knowledge was seen as a profession and not something everyone ought to attain. Yes, there is a lot of profit seeking today and we should be wary of that, but we're still going the right way and we're doing better than our ancestors ever could. This is reason to celebrate.

    I've wasted over $50k going to college just to learn these things over the span of months while Alan does it in a single video. Alan isn't managing a class ofc, but still...this video is superior. It covers all 12 principles of animation AND has extra stuff which really helps and already makes it less intimidating, and it's in video form and I can replay it all I want.
    It's been almost a decade, but damn did the spark come back. Thank you so much for these videos, Alan!!

      I made the mistake of going to school for animation. They started me off in basic classes (figure drawing) so it was awhile before I finally got my first animation class that wasn't about design or storytelling (so no actual animating or sometimes even drawing taking place)
      What did this class involve?
      WATCHING. RUclips VIDEOS.
      Also some videos from Richard Williams' series that you can find online easily enough if you know where to look but I think the school did pay for them.
      Teacher also barely helped us on assignments, was unapproachable and spent most of class working on his own animations, and seemed irritated if you needed help.
      A couple of us complained about it at the end of the year and felt unprepared for the next class.
      I ended up quitting the school because it was being turned into a diploma mill school (RIP RMCAD's credibility)

      Indeed the speed of learning from RUclips videos will never be comparable to the speed of learning in classic education it does not matter if its college or university.... The only issue with youtube videos is that is hard to see the bigger picture on how things work in the real world industry. There's a lot of gaps and misinformation....

    As a seasoned "straight ahead animator" who has done it this way for over 20 years, this Pose to Pose lesson was quite a revelation. I will need to look into this more (still unsure how exactly to do it), for eg in an app such as Clip Studio, that means that you need to make a key pose every 5 or 10 frames, then insert extremes in between them. Which means you need to set the onion skin to "seeing previously 5-10 frames." This is quite interesting, I will definitely try it. I never went to Animation school, but look at how you can learn such a revelation on a video such as this. This video is excellent.

    • @Over_easy_eggs
      @Over_easy_eggs 4 года назад +64

      It definitely depends on the style you're going for. Anime like you're talking about is generally more gritty/realistic than whimsical, so there are levels of exaggeration that probably aren't going to be hit in anime style animation. However,it's still hugely important to make 100% clear the action happening on-screen. Goku might not blob outward when he lands, but the force of the impact still needs to squash him down through how his knees bend and his chest follows through. The wind-ups for his punches might not be incredibly large, but perhaps they're emphasized with slow-mo or wind effects on the sides of the screen.

  • @hanguyenthu9691
    @hanguyenthu9691 5 лет назад +355

    I don't animate, but I study nature science. Most of the principles came from basics physics, such as the squash and stretch (elasticity and/or special relativity), the follow through and overlapping (inertia), the timing (graphical physics) or the slow in and slow out (acceleration). The staging, the secondary action, the appeal and the exaggeration are from psychology. The arcs and the solid drawing are physical biology and foreshortening in real life. And all of them are combine with years of animating experience. That is why those principles are still followed through until this day.

      Too bad most people on this planet don't know how to live without needing to make thousands of dollars every month by part-time jobs. Schools [in the government-invented sense] should not exist at all. Any graduate/expert animator who knows how to live without paying any taxes, knows how to grow his own food, knows how to eat only once per day (dinner, like I do), and knows how to live without needing to be connected to any government-operated utility grids, could easily open their own "schools" to teach animation at virtually no cost to students, whom should also be taught how to live without needing monthly thousands of dollars.

      Meatcanyon is actually incredibly good with character design. His characters ARE ugly, I agree, but it's the uncanny valley vibe that he pulls off so well by exaggerating features to such an extreme while keeping it teetering on the edge of reality. He pretty much made his own version of caricature. Gross, but done very well.
