Thank you for putting these tutorials on KZfaq! I’m just starting animations and I don’t know how much I actually can do with school and all, and I don’t have time to take a course, so this is a really wonderful find for me! Thank you again! :)

@@amira9759 if I'm understanding it right, when you block out your animation with only those few keyframes, and you get the timing to feel right to your brain, (for example it feels right to have the space between to keyframes 6 frames long) you need to double that once you add actual inbetween frames. (in the example you need 12 frames, even if you draw only 6 and hold each for two) cause your brain sort of distorts time when there's only 3 frames.

@animator---noob8939 Жыл бұрын

Just to clarify the last point, although the animation is 20 frames total, the spacing makes our brain thinks that it is 12 frames long , counted from the last key pose at 20th frame. So in order to make it more fluid, u put ur inbetweens from 10th frame to 20th frame (using both 1's and 2's) . This makes ur animation much more dynamic and energized. Did I get it right?

@tknklr Жыл бұрын

Yeah I'm still struggling to wrap my head around that bit. But I will say, this guy has some pretty helpful animation guides. Probably the best explained out of most of the animators tuts on YT who just go "lol i dunno i just draw some frames and stuff...". A lot of the beginner stuff goes unexplained which sucks if you're learning on your own.

@animator---noob8939 Жыл бұрын

@@Hinge45 Okay so I have brainstormed a lot and did some experiments and I have got the answer to this. Here let me rephrase everything; Basically the first part of the vid is ur basic [Key frames, Breakdowns and extremes] sequencing. I urge you to watch a more detailed video to grasp it. Now the real gist of this video is to tell you to manipulate the timing and spacing in a way that is more intuitive. This makes animation much more thrilling to draw. How to do that? Well , I assume you know drawings on 1's and 2's and then space ur drawings{poses} far/near to the previous and next pose depending you wanna show fast/slow movement. You must also be aware of timing charts for ur spacing process. I know that I am assuming a lot from you but this is a short vid. Now here is the MAGIC SAUCE!!! you IGNORE the previous mechanical way I just told you and just start drawing all your poses, yes ALL of them[ Keys, BDs, Extremes]. And then u arrange ur poses in a way that you want. In this vid, Alex made the first frame HOLD for 10 frames but the motion doesn't start until much later. As you can see he broke the 1's and 2's timing rule and is just randomly mixing timings like 1's, 2's , 3's or 10's to find his RHYTHYM... He also disregarded the timing chart rule as u can see many poses are at places per his creative vision and not always spaced exactly in the mid of two keyframes. Hope this helps, srry for the length.

Keyframes and “extremes” are two different things. Keyframes are the storytelling drawings that define the “what” of the action, the breakdowns are the “how” it happens, and the inbetweens smooth out the motion (or they’re supposed to anyway!) “extremes” are the drawings that use the farthest points of an arc of motion, defining that motion, and can be either one of the afore mentioned keyframe, breakdown, or inbetween.
