Animution TipsI feel like making an animution tutorial, so everyone can animute!

But I'm lazy. So you can have some small tips in journal form instead.
Tip One: Frames
'amg ur animution is so smoof wai can't i animute lyk u??'
Which animation looks better? 1 or 2?
1?
Well why don't people animate like 1 then?
Frames! Add as many frames as damned well possible! Surely it's obvious what the difference is?
Don't make a cycle with 8 frames
Make a cycle with 16!
Does a bit of your animation look choppy? Add some inbetween frames!
Onionskinning, I do it all the time. (What's onionskinning? This!)
The reason one animation looks smoother than another is always down to the number of frames.
The framerate I like to use is 0.07 seconds.
That's 12.5 in Flash, 70ms in GIMP and 7 in Fireworks.
You should always stick to one framerate throughout your whole animation.
Nothing going on in your animatio

Bernard- old animationby ~Hyperfisk

Digital Art / Animation

Some old 2D animation. wow, it must be about a year old. It's bernard. And his date hasn't shown up yet - and he was planning to propose to her. Haha.
I am still trying to figure out if I want this animation in my final showreel. I would really have to fix the arm screen left.
I used TVpaint.
Still, GIF is not kind to my animation. sigh.

Pretty good acting, Im really feeling the mood.

~Hyperfisk Jan 30, 2013 Professional Filmographer

Thanks! It is some really old stuff, but good to know it works.

~DolphinMoana Jan 25, 2012 Student Filmographer

Awwww, poor baby.

This was for some workshop you said?

~Hyperfisk Jan 26, 2012 Professional Filmographer

It is called the animation workshop, although it is actually a place where you get a 3 and a half year bachelor degree. I always find the name workshop confusing...

omg I did the same scene. Yours is so lovely and soft

~Hyperfisk May 17, 2011 Professional Filmographer

thanks.

Hehe, I think most people do this kind of scene.

*PrecosiousChild May 17, 2011 Student Filmographer

Only two of us chose Bernard this year, but yes the objective is the same

~Hyperfisk May 18, 2011 Professional Filmographer

bernard was difficult! But this was the first animation where I really focused on keeping things on model. took a LOT of time, but really payed of in the end.

*PrecosiousChild May 18, 2011 Student Filmographer

Yeah, I'm still struggling with the on-model thing, because I usually work very loosely... But TVPaint is great for keeping a layer that deals only with simple volume-shapes - so this excercise helped me a lot too.
