dude, my college uses your videos instead of actually teaching. So i will consider you my professor
Tu é br? ,_, my professor kkkkkk
same
same
same cause my prof is in the hospital
And here's the thing...
THEY GET PAID FOR DOING NOTHING!
I watch these videos when I'm feeling unmotivated, to remind me about the beauty of animation.
I think that goes to show how great these videos are.
Tudor P wow
Taking up stop motion as a serious career path and I've watched all your videos posted so far about this series and I'm absolutely thrilled to see the next, great starting point for anyone needing this information, most user friendly and detailed set I've found so far keep it up and keep em coming, I hope we met one day in the battle field
thanks i appreciate that!
Animating is like a Battlefield you have to rely on curtain items as allies for animation
I read career as cancer and I thought you were offending him xD
These videos are GOLD! Thank you so much!!
Thats not gold but a diamond
0:53 okay i never really understood that part until just the other day when i encountered that exact problem. i rewatched this, so i did the arc method and it worked out. thanks
i really just want to thank you for a sec, i started out with animation about a year ago (august 2014) after watching you're animation vs animator episodes and i am still animating today, in flash and alot of stop motion shorts, im even making a stop motion animation for the Morph animation competition, thank you alot, you have probubly shapped my carrear and these tutorials make it look brighter.
This is probably my favorite principle because of how well it can make an action feel “intentional” and stylistic at the same time. It makes something more visually satisfying and easy to read.
The subtle arcs at the end of movements are such a treat. Time to experiment in the Flash Lab! Thanks!
As an animation student who’s been busting her ass just to scrape by, thank you for these. I had a critique today that really got me bummed out even though I know it’s nothing personal. My arcs apparently suck much more than I thought they did and I’m worried about flunking the class. This video (and also a bit of crying lol) helped clarify things and relit the fire under me. Time to get through this semester or die trying!
We can help each other grow
These video guides really do help me a lot to start me up on animating! Keep it up!
That head turn killed me xD
You and Hyun are my inspiration
These videos are amazing! (not to mention the animations in each of them are mindbogglingly good, and you are filled with talent!). You are doing an amazing job, so keep up the good work :D
I'm hooked on your tutorials
omg how are you this good u make a video that needs to be 50 minutes to learn and u make it 2 minutes
Outstanding animation and instruction. Well done
you are so good to draw and animate!
Great stuff. Informative and entertaining. I can't wait for the balance to be completed.
Bro you got me into animation
Thanks so much for sharing this information. When I find the time I'll be putting these tips to good use!
Woooo do it..time to animate.
Im happy when my teacher show this video for explain how arc principles works
I definitely thing you should be a teacher in a high class university of animation!
these videos are super helpful :)
thank you these are very helpful
Yet another very informative tutorial! Great job! :D
this is really helpfully!im going to try these when i make my gifs!
YOUR THE COOLEST AWESOME ANIMATOR!!!
Thanks man, your videos have helped me so much :3
I am enjoying you
R animations more and more.
I don't even do animation and these are teaching me a lot.
Alan aquelas dicas de animação foi muito boas e algum dia seu bonde mandou igual você
you are good teacher too ... deserved sub
So basically arcs are more useful in character animation in follow throughs? I can see how it also applies to most movements as our limbs are joined by rotators which allow us to move in arc-like/circle-like movements.
ur a bloody legend to me
im not in animation, but this is simple and you undestand it really easy, thank you! , really!
I teach a high-school online 2D Animation class. May I embed your videos in my curriculum? They are excellent at explaining each of the 12 principles of animation!
This makes me understand animation more..
Oh THANKS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH IVE BIN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR A GOD DAMM YEAR THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOY
I'm totally suscribed.
great tips.. thanx
This video is very good
These videos are rare
I LOVE THAT !!!!
Plus, you can add arcs on a running figure, in a form of a wave.
SO HELPFUL! Thank you n.n
men thanks a lot, its very usefull
Underated!
Thank you!!!
What the difference between squash & stretch and arcs
For moving things, you use arcs. For living beings, the arc is made in a circular movement. This makes it look realistic.
However for Squish & Stretch, when you squish something it gets thinner, and you stretch something it gets wider.
At 1:22 i wasnt watching the screen and i thought you were Gonna Say "this guy is taking a shit"
Ahahahahha 😂 😂
I can just hear egoraptor's screams of pain
Animating is like a Battlefield you have to rely on curtain items as allies for animation
thank you!
Amazing videos man!, can you tell me what do you use to create all this information? like the animation of curves and graphics in general, thanks.
Muitíssimo obrigado eu tenho dificuldade com as animações obrigado
Hi can I use the clip from 0:11 - 0:20 in a project I am working on in high school? The project in no way will be commercialized and is entirely used for educational purposes. I will also credit your name. Is this possible?
yeah no way, make your own animation.
its probably to late but if its not an animation project, just do it :/ your not really cheating and if you still credit him it should be fine, also i dont think legal issues will become a problem with allen espeically on a project
Do a video on how to do fighting scenes
Please!!
I just got an EPIC ad from honkai 3, it was worth the wait
so cool
Do you do any 3D animation tutorials? I have trouble with workflow and the graph editor. :(
0:10 how did you draw the body and movements so realistically?
Maybe rotoscoping
it is from a book i think
dis can help me doing animation thanks.
Did you have to animate all of these in order to make the video?
+AlanBeckerTutorials I am just starting off in the world of animation and am wondering what software you would recommend to an amateur animator. Thanks, keep up the good work! (:
If you have a job Adobe CC, if your REALLY new and and younger, pivot its free unlike adobe
Hey Alan Becker, do you use the Oval Tool or the Brush Tool to make heads? (If you use the Brush Tool tell me the stroke)
Why do a lot of television animators seem to forget about this? Are arcs too expensive?
Seriously, DHX Vancouver clearly use arcs but Disney television animation and cartoon network studios do not. Why?are arcs part of the layout stage? That would make sense, considering that DHX Vancouver is one of the few studios today that use layouts in their animation.
Thank you.
0:10-0:15 can you tell me which organisms?
what software do u use for this animations?
COOL!!!
were those blue and red lines showing the human arc drawn in flash?
if so how did you do them?
what is this, noah's arc?
not funny...
Didège Christmas Herminette me neither

0:12 real movent
1:54 what’s that song called?
Wait! You do all these animations in the 12 principes tutorials by yourself??
yes
Question. What if the head moves back and fourth and does not need an arch?
Im confused about why the slow in and slow out of the bouncing ball ('cause of gravity) was farther apart in the beginning and end and closer in the middle. Can someone please help me out?
How do you do that fragmented staff because I'm trying to do a staff animation
*writing in my notebook and I get to this tutorial*
Me: Now how the hell do you expect me to write down notes for this? What am I even supposed to write down so I can understand when you're just showing how to do it and saying add arcs?
I wish you become a animating teacher too and became my teacher
Ah yes, the principle that gets constantly people joke of my name from-
What app is best please
Which Programm do you use?
very cool. i hope i like you
which software used there????
Help I don’t know how to use the app my dad bought all the plugin s how do u use the app??
Hey Alan I know you don't do subscriber requests on this channel but I'd love it if you could help me out here. I'm doing an Animation for a project and in my Animation I have a guy firing a Ray Gun towards the wall and a portal be created from where the ray gun hit the wall and expand to be a bit bigger and have multiple swirling rings of different colours (just yellow and light orange) around it, I've had a few attempts but I can't get it to look right, I'm pretty bad with Shape Tweens so I can't get it to look that good. I only need to do this the once so I can then duplicate it to have him coming out of a portal on the other side. Any help would be much appreciated.
send me a message www.alanbecker.net/contact-me
i'd be happy to help!
Thanks, I left a comment
like portal?
You probably already found a solution for this but what I usually do is make the object a symbol, click on it, then go to Properties. You have a huge selection of filters and color effects you can use like Bevel and Emboss, glow, blurr and etc.
I'm sorry for that question but, wich app do you use for this? 🙁
He uses Adobe flash
thats so freaking smart
what software do you use ?
Macromedia/adobe flash/animate
Hey Alan, Im wondering if you could send me the files for the guy spinning the stick because i want to find out how to do those movements.😊 thanks
you understand it very well, you may want to step it up.
please make a tutorial how to animate the guy with the staff
wats the best app for animr
How I can put a transparent color?
look up "adobe cc (or what ever version) opaque symbols
working to my dream to join the Dojo someday
(this is hard)
You can definietly pull it off!
I can't get the video to load!
what program?
+William Mcnaul flash cs3
+William Mcnaul adobe flash cs6
So that's what it called
This is not easy to under stand
