I studied animation in college and struggled a lot. These videos have somehow filled in a lot of the gaps that I feel like I missed and are genuinely making me excited to start animating again. Thank you for this!
Oh I'm really glad! I think part of the reason I wanted to make this series was because I also struggled with how animation was taught at university and wnated to try a different way of approaching it. I'm glad you found it useful :)
@@AlexGriggAnimationit’s not just in animation, it seems like something that’s a problem within all visual arts departments. I think the university/college system is detrimental to teaching the visual arts. One artist I knew that used to be a painting professor went so far as to say that you can’t teach people to paint at a high level within the university system. Even the professors have too many obligations and deadlines with too many students to grade. Often professors don’t have time to deeply dive into concepts and practices. Students get pushed through the ringer and it’s not to their benefit. There’s got to be a better way. It makes me sad for all the visual creatives that seek education in that system.
Sometimes I think going to school for artistic things can kind of hinder us. I will become discouraged and start to resent things if I am pushed on a deadline on projects I dont understand.
@@cmygamelifeyou are so right, at the end of every year I’m so burnt out I want nothing to do with art, thank God for summer, because it gave me time to rediscover my passions. The deadlines and all the pressure really quells the creative flame.
This series is brilliant, Alex. Massive amounts of information so clearly conveyed in such a concise and entertaining manner. You’re putting a tremendous amount of time and effort into these and I hope you’re rewarded as much as the viewer!
I know this is video on animation, but it was also an amazing example of science communication, when explaining the physics behind motion, you made sure you did not use any physics jargon, nor any complicated maths to demonstrate Newtons laws of motion. This has really inspired me to take the medium of animation to communicate other topics in physics. You are a legend! 👍
This is mind blowing to me. Your execution, the script, the editing and just the overall content is amazing. It takes me around 3 weeks to make a two minute video and that’s with cutting corners. This must have taken you months to make! Keep it up! You will be at 100k subs next year. 🎉
Thank you for these lessons! The way you explain basic moments is so clear and understandable. And also the lessons are so beautifully made, it's a pleasure to watch them. I can't wait for the next lesson!
So glad I found this channel. Really easy to understand lessons with an appealing style. Bingeing these for some personal animation projects for my future music releases (thanks to procreate dreams).
I really love this channel, to the point with great info for people who wanna get into animation. I would really love a video of different types of workflow that animators usually go by. like drafting, planning ect. keep up the good work! looking forward to more videos!
Im enjoying a lot the way you explain all of this content! I'm re-learning animation and the way you explain both in words as well as visually makes me feel less anxious about the whole process. THANK U!
So nice again Alex! Spacing is really hard to break down in an easy understandable way. I too found the analytical/scienc-y way the simplest and most understandable. Really recommend the homework exercises, doing these small isolated exercises really helps each individual principle to sink in before you combine all of them into sth. more complex. Lovely work Alex!
This video was so so helpful! I love scientific explanantions, they help. me understand better and go really in depth! Thank you for this, I owe my progress in animation to you!
Thanks for your great tutorials and your courses. Will there be some sort of new years sale??? lets gooooo. Everyone go support the man and buy the courses!
Would be nice if animation software could add simple simulation markers to a canvas. Could be controlled by simply dragging and setting relative (multiple) force vectors in the direction of ones liking. Add a acceleration slider (+-) and we'd be golden. Shouldn't be to performance hungry, as the math is pretty simple.
Thanks for this amazing series. On a slightly different note: what is the project/animation you show at 05:37? I'd be curious to see the whole piece if available somewhere!!
It takes practice, but usually animators break down their subject into simple shapes that they use as a guide (for example- a ball or a box). I think of these shapes a bit like a water balloon because unlike a balloon full of air water balloons don't change volume when you apply force to them, they just change shape. I still struggle with volumes though!
Hi!, I loved this video, I'm an ameteur and its very informative :,) but I have questions, how do you make something shake or vibrate, everytime I try to shake my animation for shock sake It looks really bad and I don't know how to fix it, if someone can give me some idea of how to fix that it would be appreciated 🥰

Finally, an animation tutorial that isn't advertising the animation program

You are doing great job teaching animation here this way. Keep on making more videos. Now I can finally learn
No way I finally found a video explaining animation with physics!
The two stuff I _love_
Thank you!
Thank's a lot, one of the best and simple understanding animation theory
By the example of friction and force now I understand this topic more clearly ...thnx dude
I'm learning to animate on the School of TH-cam and these vids are epic. Thank you 😭
Im enjoying a lot the way you explain all of this content! I'm re-learning animation and the way you explain both in words as well as visually makes me feel less anxious about the whole process. THANK U!
SO cool to hear :)
your channel is a blessing
Awesome video ! Your videos really helped me to finally understand animation. Thanks a lot Alex for sharing your knowledge !
I'm really glad I could help :)

Thanks!
Could you please explain how you did the hand drawn animations of the car and man pushing the stone etc?
This is very helpful to start animation 🙏
Super Alex! Great video and content ;)
Thanks mate 🙏

Thanks! this was one of my loopdeloop projects. You can check it out here www.alexgrigg.com/portfolio/tower-block-loopdeloop
@@AlexGriggAnimation Oh, thanks a lot :) It was already a "like" in my Vimeo 👏
brilliant!!!!!! CONGRATS.
man your visual are awesome
I wish you had a full course on 2d animation with adobe animate
Thank you for the video and i have a basic question, how to maintain volume of an object while squash and stretch
It takes practice, but usually animators break down their subject into simple shapes that they use as a guide (for example- a ball or a box). I think of these shapes a bit like a water balloon because unlike a balloon full of air water balloons don't change volume when you apply force to them, they just change shape.
I still struggle with volumes though!
Thanks man it helped me a lot 🎉
Man u really gonna make me an animator I'll show u my animation when I master this skill. Bless me sensai (in Japanese teacher) (learnt from anime😅)
Love it!
Thank you so much... can you make a video about how you make your video intro ?
