    "Does this work in--"
    Yes. Yes it does. These techniques are not program specific, they are principles that apply to everything from paper and pen to Blender's grease pencil.

    • @Zedrinbot
      @Zedrinbot  5 лет назад +81

      @@L09ANA That'd work fine--it'd be like animating at 30fps on 2's.
      12-15fps is a good way to start.
      Just remember: identify your keyframes first, and work around those, instead of trying to rush to a bunch of detailed bits as they come along.
      For roughing things out, yo ucan even go smaller, e.g. working on 3's or 4's.

Then they're stuck not knowing how to transition something or what camera angle to choose almose instantly, chearching for excuses then giving up "because not in artsy mood today"...Planning is a really important step.

      Planning is like actually 90% of it. Getting the right keyframes is the only part that I’ve ever struggled it. Once you get that, the line work may take a while, but it’s guaranteed to look good as long as you put some time in and have well timed and smooth keyframes.

      If you can, Toon Boom and Flash are both some of the go-tos and can adapt to a variety of approaches.
      TV paint is another popular one for hand-drawn animation.
      OpenToonz is free and exceptionally powerful, even being used by Studio Gibli and Futurama at points, but very complicated.
      Pencil2D and Pivot are free as well but are very very simplistic.

      Ah yeah, Krita's interesting. Temmie Chang (artist for / cameo in Undertale) uses Krita herself. If you look her up she has a short film she released here on YT a few months back that's excellent.
      From what I know it's friendly to people who prefer frame-by-frame methods.

      Temmie Chang, hmm, interesting. I'll look into that. I like the cut out style as it is better for independents but I am working on short that would suit the traditional style better. I wish Krita could do both (hybrid animation is cool) but maybe it will with future developments. You are an awesome animator and teacher by the way. Respect.

    Actually, these 7 tips are valid in 3D animation too.
    There might be some differences, i.e. with no-motions which tend to look "dead" easier in 3D thant in 2D. But the base cores are quite same.

      Every time I do 3D animation, something goes incredibly wrong and I cannot figure out which park it is to fix it. For example, I could animate a rocket with many parts, but only part of the nose cone moves while another part twists and moves at a slower rate. This has hilarious consequences.

      I think inertia is one of Newton's Law of Motion where when something moves there is an equal opposite reaction to that movement. Idk man lol that's what I remember atleast
      Edit: Jokes y'all I searched it up Law of inertia, also called Newton's first law, postulate in physics that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. what I said above what about the third law... The Law of Interaction yeh lol

      yep, smoothness more relies on consistency with your frames vs. the positioning, rather than the number of frames you use.
      More frames can help, but only if you keep em consistent. Inconsistencies are what make smooth animation look not smooth.

    great video, there are so many people with great art and consistent forms and could be great animators but there big problem is timing, for some reason most people dont plot out timing, i think its because you dont really do that kindof thing in any other art form and is a strange concept to people who have been illustrating and are just starting animation.

    I love your content, Zedrin, but I simply must point out that studying the 12 Principles of Animation will provide most of what an amateur will need, at least when it comes to understanding the core theory behind the craft. Not to undermine your efforts here, but I think just telling people to do a little research by reminding them that these principles exist is fair and acceptable.
    Keep up the good work, Zedrin! Your webcomic is really a joy to read!

      @Zedrinbot  7 лет назад +23

      well yeah that should be obvious.
      This is specifically targeting the misconceptions about smooth animation. This isn't meant to be a tutorial about how to animate (though a lot of principles for smoother works are a lot more basic than people believe), it's a tutorial about how and why certain things look so polished.

    I'm currently looking into animation on Adobe Animate and i'm trying to pick up new tricks to start a hobby of making stick figure/simple character animation. I'm slowly gaining more understanding of tweening and simple fluids of shapes (Easing in, out, etc.) but I still have a long way to go. However, I've learned even further on how long animation takes! It's crazy that in most cases animators aren't recognized enough as video-gamers. They put in so much effort and they should get the recognition they deserve!

    Well spoken! I still remember the days that I only worked in 1's and the belief that raising the framerate would help. But when you export 28 fps as 24 fps the frames kinda lag behind a bit and make the overall flow a lot more stiff :,)
    I think the only thing I struggle with is consistency (sometimes I forget a few features of the character and I can't really fix it in post production) and making believable smear frames.

    Aww man, I used to do all sorts of crazy shitty animations when I was 16 - 17 years old in Flash and it's all coming back to me 😬👌
    today I remembered how good just the simple brush tool was in Flash (no other app seems to have that smoothing) but now I just wanna animate again and this time actually learn it.
    Now I have an incentive as well; I could put these animations into my RUclips videos or something

    Well put explanation. Timing and planning are so damn important! And you have great shapes and posing that flow well from A to B. As much as I rely a lot on timing, I equally rely on the shapes of the inbetweens for clarifying the movement.

    1. Make your animation with a low fps.
    2. push the raw footage with no after-effect into DAINAPP.
    3. get 4x or 8x the amount of frames you would have done, while working on your next project.
    4. put your after-effects on the video, keep working on your next project while you wait for that to render.
    5. upload your animation for a little bit of profit to pay for the energy you used to use DAINAPP.
    6. be proud at how good and efficient you are and repeat.
