Author Topic: Banana's Hand Drawn Animations  (Read 1508 times)

Yay, three stop-motion videos made only with paper and a lead pencil.
All of these were done today and yesterday.
I'm slightly too lazy to do the right thing and change the paper each frame, redrawing everything.
I think it looks fine the way it is.

Constructive criticism and suggestions welcome.

Hand Drawn Animation 1 - Glass Shatter
Hand Drawn Animation 2 - Airplane Crash
Hand Drawn Animation 3 - Car Crash

So many things breaking.




Those are extremely nice. I love the plane one the most. :D


Your art style is nice, particularly the landscape in the aeroplane one. One thing I recommend you brush up on are your basic principles of animation, for example, your ball seems to magically stop in mid-air as it breaks the glass and then continue downwards at a constant speed. Work on getting those frames closer together as the ball reaches the peak of its trajectory. Same issue with the car as it hits the box - it looks to decelerate, stop, then decelerate again.

Remember to maintain the volumes of your drawings! I noticed that as the front of the car stopped the rear kept on going for a couple of frames. If you perhaps bent the car a little as it hit the box and made the rear bounce back out again the force of the impact would have read much more nicely.

However, for a beginner's piece, this stuff is pretty cool. I suggest you research the terms mentioned in the following link: http://www.animationtoolworks.com/library/article9.html ;)

Thanks for all the great response guys!
I am ze spy?
SHHH. Don't tell everyone!

Yeah, I am aware of the car-and-ball slowing thing. I will read your guide and think about keeping the speed constant in the future.

How do you compile all your drawings anyway?

Now, combine them all. Make a plane crash into a car, and have chunks of the plane fly into a glass window and make it break.

Ha, that's neat. Try a simple one of a ball moving around a page or something like that but instead of completely erasing your lines, just smear or fade them so it looks like a motion trail or something.


I read "Hand" and "Bannana"
