This video literally saved me. I have had a 3ds XL for ages but nothing to use it for recently, and learning that flipnote is solid for roughs and such and about to leave the legitimate software scene was well timed - just below two months away from the cutoff! Thank you.

youtube get this man to 100k subs NOW

I got recommended your third video on the topic and oh boy, i don't understand how underrated are you, i've been scared of animating for a while But i want to, and if i'm being honest i feel like i will give it another try now. So You now earned another subscriber man. (I shall now proceed to coment E on the other 2 videos to maybe give them a boost on the algorithm bc i feel like more people should watch this)

Another absolute masterpiece, keep ‘em coming!

I remember my first animation...it was on paper. But I didn't know any better... It was a parody of the G1 _Transformers_ opening sequence (which gives you an idea how long ago this was) using poorly-matched parody versions of the original robot crew. All in all it was about 500 frames, was animated on what I now know to be "on ones" ( _Exposure sheet? What's that?_ ), and was shot using a Connectix QuickCam hooked to a 486 laptop (okay, that _really_ tells you how long ago this was). Oh yeah, I should mention that I also deviated significantly from following the opening shot-for-shot because I wanted to play with making 3-D camera movements around the robots as they did their thing (i.e. "compensating for something") because I was fascinated by such things when they cropped up in animated shows at the time (look up some of the transformation sequences in _Turbo Teen_ and _Centurions_ -- they *really* stick out as 'blowing the budget moments'). I'm not sure what experienced more pain -- me, or that laptop...I seem to remember it taking several hours to compile all those frames into an MPG file (no audio, though) so it was probably the laptop. A minor miracle considering the era. A year later (evidently not learning my lesson because teenager-hood), I did the same thing for the second-season opening. This time I stayed close to a shot-for-shot parody and "only" amassed about 230 frames to do it. Since locating those files a few years ago I performed a framerate adjustment with the intent of putting them up on KZfaq for posterity. Someday I might even get around to uploading them.

Ooooh this is a good one, I love your explanation approach and editing!

Just a minute in the video and I already love that you talked about paper animation. Instant sub! :) Not a lot of people recently have talkes about Animating on paper nowadays, So I appreciate you bringing it up in this video, As someone who animate on paper. Earned a sub! :) Also, Do you know any animation productions today that are animated on paper but scanned and colored digitally? NJ

I can't explain with words how good is this video... thank you man.

BRO thank you sm for these videos i came from tiktok and was about to give up on animating until your videos 🙌🔥

When mentioning even 3DS but nobody ever mentions FlipaClip. In my opinion, it's the best way to get into animation. you'll just have to get used to drawing with your fingertips (unless you buy an s pen). Android phones aren't very much expensive , almost everybody have it , and the free(mium) app ain't going anywhere. At least this is the way I got into animation.

I will give u for ur honesty

This video was incredible and extremely helpful, thanks a ton, hope you blow up with these vids

I've only animated once in my life on a Nintendo 3ds, and IT WAS MAGICAL I WAS IN HEAVEN I WAS SEEING PURE BLISS AND FLOWERS !! I want a 3ds

That was a wonderful, understandable and innovative video. Thank you.

im taking this as a sign. I got shot down by my dad after asking for a computer to address this but i couldnt give an exact reason as to why i need it, because i already have an ipad pro. then this video popped up in my recommended an hour ago.

Very entertaining dude! Lots of laughs 👍

Bro, how you have less than 100 subs, your videos are just soooo good

underated!!!

Hey there's also another way to animate You may call it weird, bad, or just the worst of these all (because it is), but it's still a way. _Animating on your phone is this way_

Yayy

theres display protection that feels like paper they say... idk if it would work on a drawing tablet... only for certain surfaces... so dont do it... would be cool though if they had it for drawing tablets as well!

I mostly draw in Android tablet, fine to me for small loop animation

Thank ya, I have been trying to learn blender and this video had solid advice in it for hardware. Any tips on not being lazy and actually pushing yourself to get past the initial learning curve o death?

Anyway you can animate digitally in even cheaper ways, if you already have a fine pc you are halfway there

you're lucky algorithm recommend your video to me

bruh did i just find a gold mine??? amazing video, holy fuck

U won a subscriber..

i got my $15 huion osu tablet she works beautifully

I know he said traditional animation is difficult but I want to know a good resource/resources to even know where to start

I love animation on paper 🗞️ but i guess i have not completed my bouncing ball phase

I wanted to be an animator since 13 yo WDYM XD
