The Animation Thread (NOT FOR PIVOT!)

Here's a sneak peak at a project I'm working on. Currently on a hiatus from it; work will resume once I get my drawing tablet (in exactly one month).

That's kinda neat
too bad I don't like the song
Although it does seem like a bunch of fanciful text effects, maybe it'll be better when it's done

[BluetoothBoy]

Woops. I forgot to mention that it's a typography-styled video. Derp.

I'm just throwing some character animation in there to spice it up a bit. And yes, it will be better; I stopped here because I can't begin the character animation until I get a tablet. But there will be a "person" in most of the video.

That's actually pretty nice. I hope you continue to finish it.

[BluetoothBoy]

Thanks! No worries, I have no plans on dropping the project at the moment. It's just that, you know... it's really hard to draw (even stick figures) with a mouse.

Oh, I guess it's good if it's a typography thing then.

I suck at animating but here is a thing I made

That's awesome.
Where did you learn how to do frame-by-frame animation?

[Char]

That's awesome.

thank you

Where did you learn how to do frame-by-frame animation?

Ah, I didn't really learn, I guess...
I draw comics a lot (I've been drawing them for years now so I've been getting better at drawing more consistently), and when I animate I just use Flash's onion skin set to one frame behind to I can better see what I need to do

if that makes any sense, I'm bad at explaining

Actually, that's pretty good, keep it up! If I were to give you pointers, it'd definitely be to work on the drawings themselves a bit more. You're animation is actually pretty good, for such a low framerate. You managed to keep it from being slow and super smooth, but didn't make it jerky either. Also, kudos for making it anime OP themed, you had all the right stuff in there for that. :D

Ah, thank you...
I dunno if it's low framerate, it's 24 fps like any TV program. Although I think the only things that aren't animated on twos are the motion tweens, because, well, they're motion tweens.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the text isn't on twos either.
In case you want to see it (even though you would probably have already found it), the original opening I referenced is here.
And if for SOME REASON you wonder if I translated the Spanish in the subs (I don't know why you would wonder that), I translated the Japanese myself.

I made a animated gif

I remade an old animation here
Also, I found some animations I never finished, and I don't plan on finishing any. I MAY remake "Bee!", but don't count on it.
Bee!
I have no idea what this one is
Baseball
Physics (aka Baseball v2)
Hammer
