Animator Joanna Quinn gives a summary on the basics of how she animates her stories: camera angles, storyboards, movements between drawings and more. Part of our 2009 exhibition. www.scienceandmediamuseum.org...

People who obviously have not seen her animations can only call it 'easy' and 'unrefined lines'. She can draw really well, the movement of the body are just breath-taking! And disney had a group of artists and many other people to really teach them to get the grasp of the movement, they had to be educated constantly! For Joanna Quinn to understand that movement by herself by constant observation and drawing are saying that she got this skill and talent through a LOT of hard work!!!

well I don't know why so many people arguing in which kind of animation is the best or what process is better than other, animation is a form of art and is a expression of your experiences, a medium to show an idea, a way to develop a concept so it is plenty subjective, overall when you are an independent animator, joanna quinn has some unique style, the difficult of the process makes her work amazing, and the concepts behind her animations are some of the most satirical I ever seen!

It's lucky when something like that happens, I once got angry at my teacher for locking me in the giant supply cupboard by accident and not coming back for half an hour, at least they had a microwave that worked in there, long story, So I drew an Angry, derogatory, defaming sketch of them and made it ten times more ghoulish, then they saw it mid-way and commented on how good the wrinkles and skin textures were.

Flat, like, 24 by 18. I also ordered the same type ruler you have as well as animation paper. I look forward to trying it out. I will make a table like yours soon. Problem is space. Hana

I enjoy drawing thousands of drawings and whether a machine can make cgi animation that has the same personal feel as hand drawn( and I say it can't!) is beside the point! There will always be artists that enjoy drawing by hand with animation just as there will always be people who do not draw by hand and therefore will never feel the satisfaction of making their own hand drawn animation. Joanna Quinn has that satisfaction!

@killingaoi Im not suggesting to use 3D for storyboarding, but that storying boarding is an early development stage of the animation, but it then has to get developed further to make a movie. I was saying that using renders and shaders, they can create an animated movie in 3D that looks like its been drawn in 2D.

@jorel0221 Im not saying use 3D for a storyboard, im saying that the final animation can be made in 3D but rendered in such a way that it looks no different than a hand drawn animation. All the inbetween drawings and coloring and timing takes many more people and time. In a 3D setup, once the characters are built they can be reused forever saving time... i was saying you can use modern 3D rendering to create a FINAL movie that looks just like hand drawn images... quicker cheaper better

Not really. I use copy paper on a homemade light board. It is really cheap and works great (750 sheets for $5.00 at Target). I would recommend using a darker pencil that you can erase with. For a while, I used a 2B and found it way too light and restrictive. So, I recently switched over to a Prismacolor Ebony and am extremely pleased. You can stack up to 8 pages without missing the general outline of the lines. One day I will try a Blackwing (the pencil of Ken Harris). Hope that helps.

@jorel0221 13 жыл бұрын

@PlebScrubber I'll like to inform you that before a 3d animation is done, a 2d storyboard is done. That storyboard becomes an animatics which is as good as a 2d animation without the in-betweens and consideration of the roughness of it. I had watched Up of Pixar and I would encourage you to see also the 2d animatics of Up. It's just the same movie but different style.

@MicahBuzanANIMATION 10 жыл бұрын

computers are a great tool for animation. it makes the animation process much less labor-intensive ( i do traditional animation), but pure digital animation doesn't have the weight or vitality of a physical drawing. frankly, i think most things created through toonboom and flash looks terrible and lifeless. computers can't replicate the hand-drawn aesthetic.

@daptor1427 7 жыл бұрын

I know your comment is more than 2 years old, but I was curious whether you mean tweened or frame by frame animation when you say digital animation? It makes a HUGE difference. I think there was a video that used Johnny Test as an example, because apparently it started out as frame by frame animation and switched later. But I have to say I agree in that traditional animation has a really great aesthetic. Maybe that can be replicated by programs like Photoshop, but Flash does look different indeed. I personally do animation as a hobby, but I don't have the amazing patience that traditional animators have, so I use Flash (frame by frame though).

Micah Buzan That's mostly due to the majority of things done in flash are silly internet cartoons made by people who really have no idea what they're doing/just do straight ahead animation/aren't good artists really. If you put in the time you could get a good animation, though flash is terrible for line quality though good for doing rough animation. Toon Boom was used to make Princess and the Frog and that does not have any stiffness whatsoever and looks a lot more traditional as it was done by good artists, a big team over a long period of time.

@Simstyle12 I wouldnt say your animation has any 3d elements, and just because its 2d dosnt mean its crap... of course your animation does look like crap... but then again southpark was very successfull with crappy animation, by having good humour and story. I think your animation is very good at telling a story, even with the crappy graphics. Also good camera movement and angles, scences flow together well. I like how at the end its kinda like the begining going backwards... full circle
