The third episode in a series "Animating Great Artists," where I show motion designers how to approach animating work of a variety of styles and show illustrators how to approach animating their own work.
In this episode, I'm tackling the work of Burnt Toast Creative. I go through the process of character animation from to After Effects (via Frame by Frame) workflow. This tutorial is suitable for beginners - intermediate users.

Roommate: "What are you watching?"
Me: "This tutorial on how to animate a guy slamming himself with a trash can lid that causes his limbs to flail upward..."
Roommate: "...why?"
Me: "...because Ben Marriott uploaded it"
Haha! This is my favourite comment ever :D Thanks so much!!!
@@BenMarriott hello I'm really sad that my school is still teaching Macromedia Flash which is already old, what should I do?
@@jirehla-ab1671 This was done in flash - th-cam.com/video/OBk3ynRbtsw/w-d-xo.html - check out the behind the scenes. It's not always the tool.
Hahahhahahahhaha hilarious
Why coz ben wants me to watch 😁
@@jirehla-ab1671 spank them
Don't let this distract you from the fact that we're currently inside a *bat's* butt
Haha, busted! :)
lmao good one 😂
This aged poorly
Even worse now with corona lol
Damn 😣 that joke hurts now
you have the most high budget intro, ever
Thanks so much! So glad you like it :D
*No question*
i literally just said that intro was so great
@@BenMarriotthow long did that take??
@@dvsmnte my favorite part was the bat crack
I remember watching this video some months ago and hardly understanding a thing, but now with the knowledge I’ve gained (especially from Ben) I get everything that’s going on here
Super fun! A simpler way to add shading to a black-outlined character is to add your shadow, tint it the colour you want it to end up, then set it to Darken in the Blend Mode drop down menu. It will darken any colour lighter than itself, meaning if the shadow is above a black outline, you wont see where the overlap of the shadow occurs - just on the lighter fill colour. That reduces your overall number of shapes by 1/3rd. Hope that makes sense!
Omg, I can't believe you're still so humble after these achievements! Congrats on the 20k!! woohoo
Thank you so much!
Ben Marriott was only at 20k a year ago??
Thank u sooo much Ben, I've been so inspired since I discovered you (this week :). Staying motivated is so hard but watching you makes it easier, you explain clearly and with enthusiasm. PLS keep makimg them
Thank you so much! That's so amazing to read. :) I really appreciate the encouragement
this is SOOOO helpful to get an inside look on the process. Just came across your youtube and instagram and I'm just learning animation so I'll be deep in your content for a while lol. thanks so much Ben 🙏🏼
This is amazing!! all the attention to detail, all the thought wow definitely want to try testing out some animation !
I’m just getting attracted to Ae and found your videos. I would love to learn everything you’re doing. Amazing work.
Awesome, thank you man! I'm so glad you like them :)
lah ka ahmad abdul disinii😂
Lohh
So so satisfying to watch. Bless up Ben! Keep them coming up. Regards.
Thanks so much for the awesome support :)
I'm in love with your work man! These series are great! You do justice to the artists.
Thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying the series. Is there any artists you'd like to see me animate next?
@@BenMarriott Is it Adobe illustrator????
Omg, I can't believe how amazing your workflow is. I'm so glad I discovered you. I'm studying animation, and a few weeks ago I finished my short film, and I just wanna say thank you, bc your videos really helped/inspired me :)
Hi Ari, thank you so much for the lovely support and encouragement. Really means a lot to me. Best of luck with your future animation career :)
Thank you so much, Ben
! :D
Great shift you are putting in Ben, Love these work flow vids....Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! :D I really appreciate it
I'm loving your tutorial and learning series! Much more in-depth than the Classroom In A Book series.
This is amazing, but I can't believe how time consuming it is just to do 20 frames. So many commercial clients now looking for this style of work but they balk at the cost when you tell them how long it'll take to do.
Thanks so much! It's so nice to find clients who understand how long animation takes :D
Yeah what client can afford this! This is mental. Nice work Ben.
Yeah making 20 frames is already time consuming. But continuing to make, edit, and dub this into a concise tutorial is on another level. I adore Ben's hardwork on this! Auto subscribe!
***Stop motion** based on book
"The mouse saves the house" th-cam.com/video/RYqRUTwB8qo/w-d-xo.html
There has to be an easier way to do that shading...
2:55 I'm fairly new to frame by frame .... hard to believe but you are doing amazing
You're sparking up my passion for motion design right there
These quick breakdown are lovely, can't wait for more :3
Thank you so much! There'll be more of these coming soon! :)
Always a pleasure to watch!
Ben, you're amazing. Thank you for being so kind and posting all these helpful tutorials. They mean the world to a broke art school kid.
Haha, I agree. Art school literally costs so so much, why don't we just take advantage of the online resources?! Thank you so much for your awesome comment. :)
I can† imagine how much time it takes to learn this. And even if you're a pro like you it´s soo time-consuming! But it looks so great!!
You're literally my favourite artist ever!! Like for real！
Thank YOU! You're MY favorite
You are a legend dude, I am going to watch your entire videos on today. :)
I love how he smashes the trash can lid on himself elegantly, with the pinkie raised
aha ya true.just like drinking a cuppa tea.
Wonderful, this is really cool!
Thank you so much! :D I really appreciate it
This looks like one of those google auto generated comments
Love the ‘smears’ part!!
Are you interested in animation logo?
Such amazing work - Bravo!
sooooo much effort was put into this video
I'm happy to hear you work with photoshop for animation.
Love Scott's work!
Great art! The timing is excellent.
thank you for saving my life and my infomation and software technology video project.
Insane work! Appreciate your efforts and thanks a lot for the video :)
I'm glad youtube recommended this video. It's fairly close to what I've been working with anyways :)
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
You are a really really good teacher. Thank you.
Love all your videos.
Might get into graphic design because of these wonderfull vids, thank you!
I just love the intro everytime. Reminds me of cartoon network 💕😋
Thank you so much for sharing this, it`s very helpful!!!
Wow it's really practical tutorial!! I got some insight from this video. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! You're super welcome :)
This is a great tutorial, thank you!
Brilliant little tut!
Amazing work Ben, looking forward your next video :-)
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it :D
your animation style Reminded me The animations that passed on Cartoon Network as the commercials began and ended, i like
***immediately subscribes***Love this tutorials! Oh my thank youuuuuu so much!!
Once again, nice tutorial Ben!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you tuning in :D
Dude, watching you blow up this past year has made so many of us so happy, thank you. Request: I'd love to learn a bit more on shading (highlights and shadows). You know... when you're not insanely busy (haha yea right!). Would love your insight on this process. Can we not just create shadows/highlights within illustrator?
Are you interested in animation logo?
Wow! It's amazing!
This is the animation style I'd to try learning. I've been really bad at this hyper exaggerated animation in 3D but I think I'd have more luck understanding the concept in 2D because I have fewer things to worry about. Thanks for the tut, Ben.
So good mate. Just starting to get into illustration.
man you're magician
Looved this, so much detail with the shadows, and the subtle pinky movement!
Thanks so much! :D
I know you just started but... I cant wait to see your channel blow up. Instantly subscribed
Haha, thank you so much for your awesome support, Dominique :)
I like your videos, you made it so easy!
Hey man, just want to say I really appreciate showing us your AE workflows, it's been helpful.
Thank you so much Nath!! :)
and build tracks from there and leave the rest for a later session. I did both but did the first way initially and it took a day to get through
such a good tute right here!
Much love from Malaysia, thanks for this awesome tutorial.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support :D
Ben, you should really think about making a full course for frame by frame animation exclusively, would be awesome.
Love this!
I’m loving this thank you so much for the help. I’m new to After Effects and I’m trying to animate a character. I’m having some trouble understanding something tho. How do I outline lines that protrude or intrude a shape? For instance, the hand of your character has a line that goes inside the shape. How is that done without messing up the shape dynamics?
You're amazing, Ben
Thank you so much!
great video man!
wow , thanks very much for your valuable information you share
Great tutorial Buddy !
ty so much! ♥ very useful
Great work Ben!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it
this is great mate!
Glad I finally got around to watching this.. What technique/tool would you use to create smears of the shape layers?
Love this
Thank you for sharing! Muaksss!
ABSOLUTELY WOW 😍 LOVE IT
Haha, thank you so much :)
0:21 This is love...
Super helpful as always! 😃
Thanks a bunch, Andy :)
I think I want to try this
Impressive....so amazing
As an animator in training (they should give me a paper hat) via self teaching and trial by fire work, I really appreciated seeing your workflow. Also, I want to discover the great animators and illustrators out there to watch and learn from. Anyone have suggestions?
Really cool video. Also, I agree that your intro is on another level. I can't imagine how long that intro took to do
Thank you so much for the appreciation. The intro really took me a lot of time to make, haha :)
@@BenMarriott well the time was definetely worth it. Slowly watching some of your videos daily. Very motivational stuff
wow~, this is great!
Bro, you are the best...
One word: Overlord!!! You can't talk about ai to ae without using overlord! It's changed my workflow forever. No needing to mess around with files and ai layers, just hit import and you're done!
Absolutely! It's one of my favorite plugins. I use it almost every day. :D I try to keep my tuts plugin free for the kids. Plugins make it a helluva lot easier, just don't want people to think they're the only way :)
Wow! Great work ben. Thanks for showing this. You make a great deal of work look so simple to do. What would be a rough timescale for a project like this?
Thanks so much! This took about 6-8 hours from start to finish :)
Great as always 👍
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you tuning in :D
@@BenMarriott thank you, i like the way you explain the process without getting in too much details, you are always focused on the main subject which is amazing, thank you again.
For that shading, you could try a inner shadow layer style set to darken, although you'd have less control. Would be easier to get that grainy look though. Alternatively I'd use a merge paths set to intersect with the original to be able to be a little bit more rough on drawing those darker parts. Great tut though, love the applications of the animation principles!
Thanks so much! Great suggestion. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks for the support :)
Have you made an in-depth tutorial on animation? Love the videos btw.
Great use of AE
thanks for the idea 😀
You're super welcome, David. Thank you for your support :)
You are soooo gooood! Please, keep going!
Thanks so much! I'm not stopping any time soon :D
Great tutorial! 😊👍
Amazing!!!!
YOu are insane, I am insane for trying this.
Cool video. Definitely worth getting the Overlord plugin if you're going from illustrator to after effects a lot though
You are so GREAT! :)
awesome work!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the support
Brilliant!
Holy wow! fantastic job.
Thanks so much! :D
@@BenMarriott pfff ... nah man, thank you for sharing your approach to this project and skills.
took me two years to understand what your doing. but feel accomplished reguardless
You may be a beginner at cartoon animation dynamics but I see go gaps in expertise here. It does demonstrate how the rigors of cartoon animation aren't for the faint of heart but the results are worth it. I enjoy seeing AE implemented this way and not just another bread-and-butter "cool" logo ...followed by everyone copying it.
Nicely done
Thank you for this wonderful video, also thank you for the Arabic translation😍🥰💗
