Nice app, it looks like fun!

Here's what I put together in 5 min after I downloaded it. It's quite a bit to learn and I'm not even sure what all the controls do, you should think about putting together a quick interactive tutorial for beginners

Exaggeration is one of my favorite tools for creating little bits of humor.

lol dude, you are clever! that is perfect!

I keep a little spiral notebook on me incase I come up with something good, and will drop what im doing immediately to write it down before I forget.

That's actually a REALLY good idea, i'm definitely going to go out and get me a small note pad now... I've read somewhere where a guy gets his best ideas starting from drawing a lamp post, then adding onto it step by step (it's crazy!)

Even if it's something stupid, silly, cliche, and etc. Which approach do you guys take when brainstorming and coming up with ideas for your animations? Is it a TV show or movie? a good book you've read? or just some thought that came to you while you were sitting on the can?

discuss.

i think now i want to experience a shit like this.

Just gonna throw this out there, just incase one of the developers picks up on it as a good idea...

Please make so that a user is required to rate the audio submission before granted the download file.

2d is harder, because without the ability to draw well, the content one puts out is garbage. where-as 3d; aslong as you understand the fundamentals and rules of animation, you can put out excellent content.

a REAL animator animates for himself and not for fame or fortune.

if you love animating, animate for the love of it.
if you're animating to get popular and to make money, then don't animate, you're wasting everyone's time.

as long as it's a possibility, then go for it. there may be times where you get discouraged and think about quitting, but then just remember why you started and keep going, motivate yourself and you'll make it there in no time.

So we're currently three people in the animation group (two animators and one voice actor) none have actually met each other yet! We kick off our first group chat meeting in two weeks (less if the group size fills up before then). The goal is to have a group of six people, eight at most. Any more would be a bit crowded, however if there's a high enough demand for it this may change to twelve people (full group). At the moment though eight animation fanatics is the absolute limit! I'm sure you understand why.

Wanna join? Message me. If not, well then ignore this shit and continue on.

That's all folks!

I've been needing motivation for a while now and I feel the forums and/or a group like yours could help me in that area! I'm definitely interested in participating :)

Here's my stuff:

It may be hard due to the fact we have totally different time zones. :(

i was trying to submit art for a contest/challenge, and i tagged it. but it doesn't show up under the tags and i believe it's because i'm "unscouted"... is there a way around this?

I keep getting "no input signal" message and I'm wondering if it's my computers that can't connect or if it's the cords that came with the tablet that are having the issue. I've been searching around the internet and so far from what I've found this appears to be a common issue with the Cintiq 13HD.

If anyone has any experience with this tablet or similar tablets with the same issue, how did you overcome it?

i would have saved for a 22hd, in my opinion, the extra space is well needed, it allows you to see more detail as you're drawing.

I need a voice actor who can deliver ONE LINE to me!
This is a FREE project, it's one line so it shouldn't matter. (JUST THINK OF IT AS GOOD PRACTICE!)

Please pick out of any of these sentences:
“I would like two of those please.”
“Excuse me buddy, I was here first.”
“That was very rude of that person.”
“Hoo-eee! Man! That was a big one!”
“Look out you Idiot, you’ll kill us both!”
Sniff, sniff... “Do you smell something funny?”
“If I had my way, I’d... I’d...”
“That has got to be the craziest idea.”
“You should’ve seen it... it was this big!”
“No, really! I’m serious... Hey, cut it out!”
“As I was just about to say...”
“It’s over this way I’m tellin’ ya!”
“That’s it... I’ve had enough. I’m outta here.”
“Then she just came outta nowhere, and BAM!”
“Gentlemen, gentlemen... there’s no cause for alarm.”
“I’m trippin’ man... just back off, o.k.?”
“There’s one sure cure for this... ME!”

once you've done it, either pm or email me @ flashofrealitymail@gmail.com

ps. I'm not looking for any specific age, pitch, or gender... it just can't be me :(

thanks!

Adding arms and making him lift and lower them would give some more effect on his body language.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVsVyvCQ8N0

For the end I think it would be more entertaining to have the muscular man lift the heavy object on the top of his finger. But since this is just practicing...

Well, see that's the thing. The instructor said arms aren't allowed, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

As for the other, I originally planned for the tough guy to lift it above his head, then a lady walked through the frame and the tough guy drops it on the little guy to chase the girl. -But I ran out of time.

Let me know what you think! :)

you should study the fundamentals of basic animation, i suggest:

character animation crash course - eric goldberg
animators survival kit - richard williams

i have both of these books and they've helped tremendously!

felt good. maybe the second swing of the leg should be a bit slower than the first. feels a bit awkward going at the same time

the timing was actually intentional, but i can understand where you're coming from.

thanks :)

there's two ways that i do it,
create two - five movie clips with flat single color animated smoke, set all of them to transparency 35 - 50 and stack them on top of each other.

other ways are to animate frame by frame, i animate smoke on twos and end up with about 12 frames in total.

"Happy Harry's Huha2 How To's"
on youtube has tips and tricks, and suggestions on how to go about beginning animation.

but i agree that Richard Williams - Animator Survival Kit is the best option.

make sure when installing a program such as flash player, you right click and "Run as Administrator"
(you can download flash player from adobe's website.)

I've had a problem with installing software and programs in the past because of this problem, it might help you.

it's great! i like the idea and the style of the animation.
though, i don't like how you had the text drawn instead of typed, it just doesn't seem as professional and pleasing to the eye as text is.
