Can you make more tutorials showing each drawing in each frame like this about turning away, flying, turning in the air and fight scenes...? Thank you!
i used to think about making a perfect draw, so i was drawing a perfect picture yet taking so many hours, it's only just for 1 frame, and then i didn't know how to animate it because it's very hard to draw with the same portion. after i watched this video i realize that animation is more about how to animate things and to make things moving, and the perfect draw is the second, thank you so much bro, you're superb👍👍👍
Thank you very much, i agree that animation is more about the overall impression less about a specific frame. Ugly frames played together can look beautiful. Thank you for sharing what you learned!
WOW! I never actually understood this difference between artists till I watched this. I've always been better at going with the flow of what I put down and it always added up very well in some funny mysterious way, but I have struggled over the years to visualize what I want to do in my mind. I just realized I have spent years actually neglecting my strength. I'm going to work on that from now on
You were saying how rough these drawings were but they look awesome love the sense of movement as well. Would love if you did these real-time drawing in parts so we can watch the whole process
I feel like im both a map and a compass thinker. I tend to make ideas and keep them before making an animation and those ideas lead me to a sort of fuller visualization of what im gonna animate. Like im writing a map with a compass that I'll follow later. Cool stuff!
Have you ever worked with an inbetween/cleanup animator ? I'm curious to know what would be the result. Because you definitely seem to prefer doing rough animation, and your animations are extremely lively (which is kind of your signature). But on the other hand, some people would say each of your strokes lack "definitiveness". Same for your backgrounds, they just contextualize the animation, but they're not ultra polished like in industry standard animations. I don't mean it as criticism. Everyone has its strengths/preferences, and yours are very pronounced I think. You once evoked creating a studio, and I can't tell whether it was pure fantasy or a serious project, but I definitely think it would highlight your brilliant animations. Love your work, A fan.
Hey! Thanks for your question. Yes i currently hire an inbetweener. I draw the keyframes, make sure they are how i want them and then i create blank keyframes where i want the inbetweens to go and send it off to her. I actually encourage her to not be too concerned with neatness/ precision. I would rather the lines have the right gesture, energy and feel right rather than them being precise. I like the texture and energy of rough lines. I’m working on expanding the business to more people - bg artists, character designers, colourists, and eventually key animators and compositors / layout artists. The difficulty is that studios often get first pick on the animation talent. I have to put in a lot of work to network and find the right people to bring in. It is easy to find animators but not easy to find good reliable available animators who have got one key skill locked down. The studio is likely, but it will be a very flexible virtual studio which expands and contracts with the varying workload. A physical location is too much of an expense, and limits the workforce by location.
Hey!!! I want to ask you something Could you make a tutorial on how to animate _REALLY_ heavy characters?? Like Kaijus, Mechas, Jaegers(From Pacific Rim, the fan animation I want to make is from that movie) These characters are usually made in 3D, but I would love to learn to make these in 2D Youre a big inspiration for me, Your videos are amazingly well explained, and your style is unique Cheers from Brazil.
Just to butt in with a few loose thoughts. Giant movements, I think is a lot about momentum. It takes a lot of energy to both start and stop movement gigantic objects. A lot of people tend to focus on the slow motion effect. That all movements are slow when big. Even Pacific Rim falls into that trap for me. What I often miss in those shots is the feeling of massive speed of massive objects. Big things can move very fast, it just takes them longer to accelerate and decelerate. (I remember the animators of the recent American Godzilla films noting that they calculated that the Big G's tail was breaking mach speeds when just swinging from side to side). Also impacts and debris are crucial to sell the scale. So a lot of thought needs to be had about what is bent by the impact and what just crumbles and gets cut through because the target couldn't slow down the force of the object hitting it, while at the same time not being allowed to transfer the momentum to the rest of the target outside the zone of imidiate impact. Which is why I tend to prefer stuff like Evangelion because they sell the speed and weight of the mechs without it turning so sluggish and slow mo as Pacific Rim tends to do. tl,dr: I'd recommend Howards video about End of Evangelions fight between Asuka and the angel/eva hybrids.
You are such an inspiration to all young animators . I am a young animator myself and I uploaded my first ever short film on youtube , it would help alot if anybody gives it a watch and leaves a critique under . all comments are welcome
How does one animate in perspective ( where the camera moved around the action like in prologue- Richard Williams and the third and the cobbler ) if you can pls make a vid of it and pls answer
Great stuff! Though, i'm not an animator (i'm a writer), i know great animation when i see it. Your stuff is really good. Love your channel. First time commenting here.
Hello Howard I have a question or rather a request If you have time can you make a video on why to use a timing chart,if you use it and what type of animations to use timing charts in like in fight ,effect or character animation Also in animation sometimes I get really frustrated If i can't draw a pose or visualize what I want and it wants to make me quit but I want to still want to animate but the thought of that frustration scares me any tips on what to do please?
Hey man good to see you again, 1) I think that for most web-gen animators, timing charts are not needed. Timing charts are used to pass messages about timing, spacing, acting performance and editing decisions onto animators further down the production line (e.g. from animation supervisor to key animator, from key animator to inbetweener) They can actually stiffen up your animation a lot and make the whole process a lot less intuitive. If you have been getting by fine without them, i suggest continuing to not use them unless maybe you start wanting to get into a studio which uses timing charts. 2) go back to studying your reference. Take a picture of yourself in the exact pose you want and copy the picture. Problem solved.
did you by any chance have your fingers in the new league of legends animation clip for their song Phoenix? kinda looks a bit like your fingerprint on there ;o
Here's a question for you Sensei, I'm developing a style of animation that is heavily stylized and has a jerky expressive motion comic feel to it. Should I abandon this technique and go for a motion capture realism approach? It's 3d.

I know I'm quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Ira Jonah Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it :)
really love how fluid and almost elegant you make your character movements

I liked your analogy of some animators having a "map" mind while others have a "compass" mind. It's so true! 👀
Always inspired by your art work, thoughts on animation, and work ethic.
WOW! I never actually understood this difference between artists till I watched this.

@@jmalmsten honestly
The only time where Pacific Rim's animation didnt feel realistic was in Uprising, the first movie had great animation
You are such an inspiration to all young animators .
I am a young animator myself and I uploaded my first ever short film on youtube , it would help alot if anybody gives it a watch and leaves a critique under .
all comments are welcome
I checked it out and woahh it's epic
It looks great considering that it is your first short-film, nice job
Ngl I aim to have your level of skill 😂
Fr! This guy is on another level
Ikr? He is my literal goal
Watching others animate helps me alot! Great video
Thanks I wanna do some more of these
I would love to see more of this type of videos
Your animation is more smooth than butter.
pls make more videos like this.. these are so helpful for a beginner animator like me.. thank you so much
Your thumbnails for these are always so cool!
🤔 you made me thinking about my animation style @Howard Wimshurst
Most amazing videos keep them going they help me so much 🙏🏼
I think that professor was upset he had to check each frame because he knew it would be different which is time consuming for him
How does one animate in perspective ( where the camera moved around the action like in prologue- Richard Williams and the third and the cobbler ) if you can pls make a vid of it and pls answer
If you can draw in perspective you can animate in perspective. I’ll show you some time
Nice intro !
Yes continue making content like this
That intro was amazing.
Video was also amazing.
Great. Thanks for sharing this.
Love the animation and the video it's cool to watch the process
Great stuff! Though, i'm not an animator (i'm a writer), i know great animation when i see it. Your stuff is really good. Love your channel. First time commenting here.
Excellent idea for creating a video! Very helpful!
Muchas Gracias Howard.. ✌️✌️🔥📯
Thanks so much this has been really insightful as I have taken a page and a halful of notes on how to properly position, graft and momentary motion
Glad it was helpful!
@@HowardWimshurst awesome
Amazing this video was so helpful Thankyou Howard
Btw your animation was so fluid and incredible!!
your videos taught me alot and inspired me to make many animation . im glad to discover your channel
I've learned allot from you thanks bro your awesome
Please contiune with showing real time work process. It's very helpful.
You should react to the youtuber named SAD-ist...some of her animations were made on phone.
wow thats lit.im sure u have refer on actual video movement or its came from your imagination?
Uku+ lily = Ukulily (Ukulele)
I love this

Do you have a video that explains how to combine separate sequences/scenes into one movie?
I heard you're a friend of Dudul,,i want to say i learnt alot from you so thank you for your tutorial
yes! Patrick is the man!
superb
Me:who are animators?
Friend: see this video.
Me:(after watching)🙁 ok so they are next to god..
That thumbnail 🤩🤤
Took a lot of work 😂 thanks for noticing!
did you by any chance have your fingers in the new league of legends animation clip for their song Phoenix? kinda looks a bit like your fingerprint on there ;o
Hi, which brushes do you use at tvpaint, for sketching. any place for download them?
hey here you go
gum.co/JmryT
Did you use storyboard for this animation
yes
please do, I enjoy looking at process
Here's a question for you Sensei, I'm developing a style of animation that is heavily stylized and has a jerky expressive motion comic feel to it. Should I abandon this technique and go for a motion capture realism approach?
It's 3d.
I'd be more interested to see the heavily stylized motion.
If you are an artist, you will not want to flock to what everyone else is doing.
@@HowardWimshurst thanks for responding! Means a lot.
Can I ask you what program you used for animated
