As a beginner animator I've been struggling with timing a lot and I've never seen anyone explain it using this method and just after watching this video I feel like I've learned so much. A++ I can't wait to watch more
I worked in 2d animation for 9 years and I can't still explain it like what you did here. And also you are right at the start of the video.. It is still overwhelming even if you have experience. I highly recommend your teaching for beginners and refreshers. a short Animation Survival kit
@@AlexGriggAnimation teaching animation (the practical way) and doing (pro) animation is a different skill. I'm happy (and envious) you get the same skill. Keep it up. I'm gonna watch more of your content to refresh.
that note about the perception of the length of the breakdown is one of the most valuable tips ive learned about animating this year. Been learning for a long time and that made a lot of concepts i've been mulling about click in a satisfying way. Thank you for your work!
I’ve been struggling with understanding how to adjust timing in my animations and the way you explained it has been so helpful, thank you so much for such a digestible break down!
Animation student from Paris here ! Your videos are really amazing. They're so well put together and informative. They help me check up on my technic in a fun and quick way. Thanks for your videos, it's really wonderful people can have access to such informative videos for free. Keep up the good work ❤️
Yes I'm so glad I found this! I've never seen another guide describe timing with holds like this. Anything involving a timing chart always assumes we're using a consistent timing (on ones, twos etc.)
Being an animator, i feel the things are very well put in here. Every animator gets stuck into same things at beginning and you are explaining those really good with the visual representation. Im recommending this to all my fellow animators. Keep it up and all the best!!
These are amazing! I stopped doing animation for a while and I'm gearing myself towards it again. Seeing your videos bring nostalgia and comfort and also are pushing me towards trying again
Really really helpful man, even for someone who has been animating for a while. The description of the timing between key frames and breakdown with the ball was great
I'm re-watching this yet again. And this truly is the most helpful thing I've scene on animating. It just gives you such a nice tool to understand how to do what you want to do. I love it
just fantastically explained. I see aaron blaise do it like this all the time on his livestreams with the breakdown so I picked it up, but you verbalizing like this is so great
Yeh it's definitely something you'll start noticing more now you're seen it once. Check out the blocking for Pixar and Disney 3d films. They're using the same technique
Guys get Alex's class. Its amazing!!! I just finished it and am going back to binge this content. Alex, you content is GOLD make more videos and classes please, we need your mad skillz taught to us!¡!¡!
I enjoyed seeing how you could do the blocking phase in After Effects - I spent a lot of the episode wondering how you could do it in AE, and lo and behold you covered it! As always, an amazing video
I appreciate the homework at the end of the video. Often, I'll watch a tutorial and just think about what I learned, but the call to action pushes us to actually try out what we've learned. It's fun too, thank you!
This did help alot, I did alot of frame by frame, but it's more facial expressive/ science fiction / Effects type of animation. This is great tutorial for anatomy movement animations.
Bravo! I was stubbornly looking for software explanations, but your detailed explanation of the process help me understand why and what I had to do, and not how (click here or there). The software is secondary to the process of ideation and storyboarding.
this series are great! you are an absolute gem!! thank you so much for this well explained and concise teaching videos. very helpful. hope you´ll keep doing more of these
Your classes are top notch and they helped me a lot! I am so much better because of you. I just hope you can make more of these classes, and would like you to know that you can simply show us the normal recording of animate UI without have to "redraw" the animate UI and also animating the UI. That must've taken you a lot of time! Anyway, that's just a personal comment to ease your workload to create these wonderful classes. Sincerely love your work.
Thank you so much, timing and Blocking its the hardest part for me since i usually just feel the movement and go for straight ahead, but usally is not convenient, tysm this istuff is not in the books at all
This was super helpful and definitely makes tackling animation a little more palatable. Everytime I try to do an animating exercises I always get confused on where to add frames and if I'm even doing it right lol
this is such a good video ! i’m learning animation by myself with youtube videos and this was really cool. after animating a lot on flipnote i tried different softwares but rn i like to draw on krita so i think i’m gonna focus on it for animation too ☺️
this is a terrific keyframe animatoin tutorial,,,so helpful, you are genius, I really respect you from my heart and I hope you will give us more and more videos like this💝💝💝
Even with stop motion there is a blocking stage. It's good to try out timing and it's also good for testing if the scene is possible with the puppet because it is a physical object. Like a rehearsal. And you take photographs as you go. And using the stills that you took they can be used as targets when animating the final shot.
thanks so much im trying to practice for stop motion I cant really inbetween as I would in 2d but all the information is super clear, important and beautifully exemplified thanks for that!!
I'm a beginner too and I learned on this channel what I never understood in other videos. But I'm sad that I haven't had more updates even with a rapid growth in subscribers.

Hey thanks man. Haha this 2 minute explanation took about two years of rewriting to get right. I'm glad it resonated :)

Hey guys which software should I start as a beginner
@@Tatekingdom9 doesnt matter which software actually. The principle is wjhats important.
@Tatekingdom9 I started with flipaclip
BRO YOU EVEN ANIMATED THE SOFTWARES HUD !
@@Arifonline1 this was a bad idea haha. It took so long
@ Even replying my comment takes 10 months and I can not imagine how many decades it took for the video haha
I want to start learning frame by frame animation what should i start learning on this channel?
I really love your teaching style! It's concise and very clear. I enjoyed this class a lot
I'm so glad!
Indeed, it's really appealing! Cheers and keep up the good work
I literally just felt my brain actively develop as I watched this
i could have been an animator in Disney if your tutorials were available 2 decades ago. really effective teaching here. thanks, Sir!
Never too late to start

Love this! Breaks down the animation process so well. Sometimes I get lost when animating, so its great to have a list to keep on track.
This is the best example of how to take blocking to a final animation in a clear understandable way that I have ever seen. Good Job

Hey thanks Sam. I didn't learn this technique until I'd been animating professionally for about 4 years. Im glad you found it useful!
I'm re-watching this yet again. And this truly is the most helpful thing I've scene on animating. It just gives you such a nice tool to understand how to do what you want to do. I love it
Hey thanks Hussein, I'm so glad that it's helping :)
I really appreciate how much effort you put in to make the video look so perfect
I can't wait to see more
Oh god. Oh dear god!!! This is the best teaching I've ever seen here on TH-cam. Your video's are absolutely invaluable! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey thanks mate :)
This is amazing, not into Animation but I might just try to learn because of this video!
Can't wait to see what you make!

Love this video serie. Best channel i have seen when it comes to drawing animation!
Hey thanks Rufus!
I really appreciate the amount of work you put into animating and editing this tutorial. Great job!
Hey thanks:) glad you enjoyed
I enjoyed seeing how you could do the blocking phase in After Effects - I spent a lot of the episode wondering how you could do it in AE, and lo and behold you covered it! As always, an amazing video
Haha Thanks for sticking with it. I should have covered some of that earlier in the vid probably :)
Is all about how to keep the track of animation smooth asf
This is a HUGE help! By far the cleanest explanation i have seen. for someone like me who is just starting out, i thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing this process Alex, helps a lot! 💯
This was always a concept I struggled with and couldnt visualise the process. Thanks for walking us through this, key framing seems less spooky now
I appreciate the homework at the end of the video. Often, I'll watch a tutorial and just think about what I learned, but the call to action pushes us to actually try out what we've learned. It's fun too, thank you!
loving your breakdown. I am speaking with my artist now i think we will be using this process for our indie studio!!! thanks so much!!!
This channel is simply amazing!👌🏻
Duuude I can't believe you posted this and I totally missed it, I was struggling today with Key frames, you're the best! 😀

You deserve millions of views and subscribers
One word for this guy
LEGEND
As a cpmplete beginner that was really helpful, thank you! I think I have to rewatch it a few times to fully understand
Just brilliant
These concepts are common to other media and story telling. Emphasis, too, on planning needed beforehand: story, characters, thumbnail preview, etc.
This was super helpful and definitely makes tackling animation a little more palatable. Everytime I try to do an animating exercises I always get confused on where to add frames and if I'm even doing it right lol
oh my god this tutorial CHANGED EVERYTHING!!! thank you so much!!!!!!!
