I first started animating 10 years ago using the magic dot, and it is quite literally the best way to learn timing and spacing. It should be the first thing anyone does way before doing a ball bounce animation
yeah I thought the same thing. with the ball you have to focus on the volume what not while (at least in my opinion) timing and spacing is way more important and harder to get right than making sure the ball behaves realistically
I had an art teacher who always said "Practice makes permanent" as in if you practice something, you not only get better, you retain that knowledge forever. So if you stop drawing for years, but decide to pick up a pencil one day, you may not be the same, but all those foundations you practiced and learned will come back to you.
Or even for riding a bike. You ride it, and even if you go back to it after a while, you'll be speeding through after the first few paddles. Bcuz art and riding a bike, both are muscle memory
I think the sword to a rose is my favorite. Not only is it a beautiful animation but the animation between the two is complex and can impress your audience quite easily.
This kind of video is perfect for someone like me, who is an artist that knows about basic concepts of mass/shape, and terminology like keyframes and follow through, but has limited experience actually creating or finding an appropriate place to begin after a long time not creating. It doesn't seem so scary to pick back up now. Thanks, Alex!
So far, these videos are great! They help focus on the lesson without daunting the student with a presentation that exudes mastery. By that, I mean that sometimes instructor's lessons make the student unconfident in their abilities through showing off their own skill in the lesson. And so I think this is a great balance that helps the student grasp, understand, and be excited for trying it out themselves. Thank you for your generous animation video lessons, ciao ciao!
Hey I'm glad you enjoy that. Keeping things simple and approachable was a big goal for me. Maybe I should do some more fancy animation to get people more inspired at some point...

I've been animating for almost 3 years now, and I haven't really had much experience from tutorials. But this, THIS is what's gonna make me better. I'll start simple, and then make more complex things. Thanks, Alex Grigg!
The "Bwoopr" sound you do when testing out your animation is definitely the most important lesson of all. Joke aside, amazing videos man, keep on the good work. 💪
you have a point though. Mostly animation is accompanied by sound effects, music, dialog or a combination of the three. which supports the animation and makes what's happening on screen more believable
I’m a teen who’s learning animation, and these are really useful exercises! I’ve done a decent bit of animation before, some MAP parts, walk cycles, etc, but these seem like a great way to work on the fundamentals!
What I love about this video is that it is very approachable and motivates me to try it out myself while most of the other channels provides animations which makes me second guess my interest in animation.
what an incredible guide!! I've always found animation pretty intimidating, so I usually keep my animations to motion graphics and keyframing pre-made assets, but this video breaks it down so nicely that I feel like just sitting down and drawing out some pretty loops!
I'm about 3 months into a college animation program, and I think the magic dot is going to be a game changer for me. My profs started with bouncing balls and I just couldn't get the spacing through my head. The dots though are a simpler example that I think are really going to help me, thank you so much 😁
I'm not in high school yet, but I've been trying to figure out animation since 2nd Grade and I can say that these are awesome practices that I now do all the time. Thank you so much for showing them to me!
This is Fantastic!!! When I studied Traditional and 2D Digital Animation in College through VFS here in Canada we had intense pressure learning which takes so much more time because they push you to say nothing out (goes out) but perfection. Which makes it really hard on you when you're a creator that just wants to delve into it but now, Always Feel like you cannot put out anything but Perfection!!! Thanks for Encouraging that people *CAN* actually, keep it simple to animate for a less stressful positive experience! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
@@AlexGriggAnimation 🙏🏼 All Good I still Animate currently but now working on a lot and teaching it on my Channel so yah Not upset now about it but when I was a teenager learning it I sure was haha But we grow as humans and progress over time until the time is right! 👍🏼
TBH this is one of the best tutorials on the internet. Presentation and the way you bring the information are fantastic Hopefully it won't take too much till we see more of your videos
I am so happy you made this! I couldn’t find many new beginner animation exercises, it was always the same stuff, you really filled a void in the animation community!!
My Summary of the vid :) # 1. Give a dot LIFE - Move it in arcs - Experiment with timing - Move it close and far from the camera? # 2. Jelly jump - Make some jelly bounce, practicing squash and stretch - You don’t have to draw every frame, can just move it - Add a 2nd jello on top to practice the objects’ interaction between each other # 3. The Switch - Hide a switch from two very different keyframes with motion - Jump or slide or something else? - Can also do it with a character to give it pzazz # 4. The Morph - Blend two very different keyframes with some interesting transition - You can get the most creative with this exercise (I personally think) - Use straight ahead mostly What can we do to make it interesting in the transitionary state? - Make it 3d for a moment - Gooey melt and twist transition - Add some effects - Add a different keyframe in the middle while it’s transforming - Add anticipation, timing, that good stuff
Your animation videos are great, we definitely need more people like you in the industry, your lessons are non threatening, they put me at ease and give me the confidence that with practice I’ll get better 😊
Your videos have been so helpful in developing fundamental animation skills. I have been animating all sorts of things in the past 13 years, but I've learned everything by myself and usually rely on my gut to make things feel right. Thank you for the knowledge boost.
Thank you! I've been teaching myself how to do 2d animation for the last couple years, and though I've gotten far enough to get my first couple freelance jobs, I still feel like I don't have as good of a grasp on it than I could. I couldn't find enough animation exercises that helped me figure out how to actually apply the rules and concepts within animation.
I haven’t animated for years, and just got my hands on a new (well, new to me) animation program. The dots exercise is a perfect practice to get a handle of how to use layers and onion skins again, I appreciate how quick it is 👍
For the jelly jump, I would put another overshoot when the jelly reaches the top to make it more squishy. That would also help add to the jello feel of it
Thank you!! I’m not very good at animation, but I tried the magic dot exercise, with some motion blur and moving it closer or further away and I’m just so proud
Brilliant. Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today. Or rather, after my exam session. Still, awesome materials, I never knew how to _practice_ animation instead of somehow magically trying to get it right in complicated projects ^^' now I feel more confident that in fact, I CAN learn it, and it won't take literal ages
I have been confusedfor almost a month that how to start animation from scratch and i have started following your tutorials and have seen improvement a lot. You are a blessing for people like me who can't afford a animation collage. You are my master thanks you so much ♥ ☺
When I was little I used my DSi's flipnote, and used this dot practice so often - I think it was pretty common on there for most kids to start off practicing this way which is really interesting to think about !
YES! Thank you so much!!!! I have been wanting easy ideas to practice animation that are like this for me and a student of mine for so long!!! Granted I've been busy and haven't hunted around very much to find them but I'm so glad this video popped up!!!!
These are absolutely amazing. I love your videos, and I mean this with absolute sincerity. I never comment on videos, but as someone who has been struggling and has been wanting to learn animation for a very long time, your resources are brilliant. Please please keep up the good work. If you ever make a course, I’d buy it to support in a heartbeat.
This just made something click for me, made me understand animation in ways I didn't fully put into practice earlier. Thank you very much for doing these tutorials!
Dude, you just helpend me unlock the hidden level in ADHD! I’m so excited!!! New title for a TedX-talk: how van we use animation principles to help with ADHD executive functions? Break it down into the poses!! Woohooo!
Thank you so much for this! This definitely validates my hatred of the bouncing ball, and my love for the magic dot, or the magic line, which is what I love to use. It feels so intuitive and free.
@@marycynthiachisom4837 good question! I like to use FlipaClip on my phone (and I bought one of those special pencils that you can digitally draw with)
Its such simple concepts, to learn the basics begin with giving life to a simple dot, and yet youre the first ive ever seen bring it up! Youve taught the literal basics of the basics lol and i hope more people come across your video, even if they themselves dont want to be animators :) sending a link to all my friends
I haven't had any Animation practice aside from a book my friend has gotten me, so this popping into my recommendations made it an immediate watch; with the content being an immediate sub. Thanks for the tips!
enjoyed this video so much, made me want to pick up 2D animation again, and also created in me a desire to be a teacher haha, this is so well thought of and executed and visually catching to the eye which def helps to want to try it out! subscribed
Thank you Alex! This tutorial has taken away my worries about ever being able to animate properly. Also: love your drawing style! Keep up the good work!
The magic dot is the first thing I did on FlipaClip, before I knew anything about animation principles and it ended up really choppy. 2 years later you can clearly see how much improvement there is in a simple dot after adding things like perspective, bounce and slow in/out.
This helped me out so much. As an independent creator I don't have much of a budget to get things animated but with these I can get better at animations which I sort of jumped into before but dropped.
good video. never really learned animation through anyone(like a lot of people) but It was cool to see I did most of these already! This video makes me really want to try out morphing, since i haven't done that yet! :D
Thank you so much for making these! Phantom Limb continues to be one of my favorite animated shorts. I still think about. I love your work and, especially, your animation style
I watched this video out of boredom, randomly, and I'm already into animation and want to become better at it. Instant sub, everything you said here was understandable and clear :) Also you only have 8 videos and they're SO good! Did you run a channel before?
Today I finally tried the exercises in the video (dots, jelly and switch) and it was mind-blowing for me, I am barely exaggerating. It is so simple yet I see how the motion works, the idea of pacing, how with just one drawing that you copy, paste and transform can move... I always wanted to try animation/animatics but it looks so "big", with the understanding of movement, planning/storyboarding, drawing... These tips showed me that sometimes simple things work best, and it overall made everything less scary. Maybe I will try more things, and I will for sure watch more videos. Thank you :)
I started animation around 9ish months ago, and I have never heard of these Exercises! I started ill definitely try them out, especially the magic dot and morph one!
I first started animating 10 years ago using the magic dot, and it is quite literally the best way to learn timing and spacing. It should be the first thing anyone does way before doing a ball bounce animation

That's a cool saying :). Definitely rings true
i can confirm, i stopped drawing for about a year and came back and impressed myself.
Muscle memory
Kinda
Or even for riding a bike.
You ride it, and even if you go back to it after a while, you'll be speeding through after the first few paddles.
Bcuz art and riding a bike, both are muscle memory
