About the SOFTWARE I use in the video: A huge amount of my production involves Adobe CC (my affiliate link tinyurl.com/v7fvqgo) I use Adobe photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Audition and sometimes Animate. I would be nowhere without these softwares. You can get them all with a comfortable monthly subscription, or you can get subscriptions to individual plans. Check them out and see what works for you. The main software I'm using to actually animate frame by frame is called TVPaint. Here's more information on that: www.tvpaint.com/ It's a great software :) And if you need a Graphics tablet, I highly recommend this one for you ballers out there: geni.us/vy8xUZB It's the best tablet money can buy :) And here's a great low-low cost alternative: geni.us/LLYv

Could you do a sakuga Study that is more focused on A Character acting? I feel like it's usually very overlooked and people usually think that Sakuga means action and fight scenes where a character acting is just if not more important. so it would really cool to see you analyse them.

yes I would love to. Have been looking into Hiroyuki Okiura. In my opinion one of the best character animators around today. Also looking into the animators behind films from Mamoru Hosoda and Isao Takahata. Might also touch on Michael Dudok De Wit with his latest film the Red Turtle.

Im sad to see some of these comments are saying 'x animator is better than y", "imo i think this animator is more of a master". Like man they all pretty masterful. Its absolutely rude to invalidate the craft and creative genius that all these animators worked so to obtain. They are all great, they are all masterful. You dont have to personally like their style of animation or expression of ideas and thats okay, im not expecting for everyone to see eye to eye. But you should definitely be aware that what they do is still amazing and incredibly hard to do. It's better to approach animation with open arms and the ability to love and respect all of it than to restrict yourself to the same old stuff you probably be watching for years. You might find a new animator or type of animation that you'll love.

@HowardWimshurst 5 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks saga, I made the course with the intention of it being learned by people who use a variety of different methods to make animation, including traditional light box animation. There are some technical tricks for flash users that I show in the walkthrough part of the course - for these you would need to think about how you can adapt equivalent tricks for traditional animation - but it isn't about the software, it is all about the underlying principles, pipeline and techniques. I actually think it can be better to learn animation traditionally because you have to develop your drawing skills instead of relying on computer aided tricks. TLDR: yes! I think its definitely worth taking the course
