The first 30 seconds of this video taught me more than any advice video ever could
Lmao
I bought the book, but it's HUGE. Also, in the book, there is a DVD version that can't possibly fit the dog's butt too.
There are a lot LOT of beginner tutorials (in everything) but they drop off sharply in prevalence once you start looking for medium level ones.
@Dario Fightmaster I feel like I've watched ALL of them & the next thing to do is put in my 10,000 hours of practice... Which I find inexplicably scary...
Are their any really good one's that you can suggest to someone whose new to animation
@@Felix.Wingfield hear that
Going to college for animation made me hate it.Only one or two teachers were there to make sure we learned something.The rest were there for a paycheck.I learned more on my own than i did in school.
It's super sad tbh
I had a few instructors who were really good at getting people to learn stuff, and the one who I admired the most recently passed away so its unfortunate more people wont be able to learn from him anymore :(
Yes for me aswell I live in the netherlands and there a just no schools that learn this stuff effective. It's really sad to see classes enroll and they just stand still for 4 years and then they can't find jobs, or have lost interest...
Tell me about it! We barely even touched the provided tablets to animate something in my college! We mostly just learned a few basic fundamentals and watched old cartoons! What good is that when we cant even apply what we learned?!
As a game designer and attempted polymath, this learning advice can really be applied to any creative field. Frankly, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to learn anything themselves.
Aplead
I've found I personally learn best in a classroom setting and when I'm reverse-engineering/studying existing material. I had the survival kit for a while but didn't even touch it until I took my first animation class, because I didn't know where to start... Now that I have a little experience under my belt, it's a great resource for I want to understand basic principles, theories and methods. Starting from scratch with it is hard though and I don't recommend it haha
That intro was highly unexpected, but necessary
OMG I literally just bought that book yesterday to learn animation...
(...I feel your expectant stares all the way from my computer...)
ill be waiting
We will watch your career with great interest.
I did the exact same thing yesterday. That's kinda crazy huh
@@hedgelord0 LOL Wow 🤣 That is crazy haha
It's a great book and is really useful if applied properly.
Do i have to do it *Dry?*
I recommend dry, lube is for chumps
The beautiful rendition of the dragon, how human he looked, trapped in that body! Amazing.
0:00 - 0:40 Biggest misuse of the book I ever seen, I hope the ghost of Richard Williams haunts that dog character.
The knowledge I see it I've been enlightened
Idk have you tried it yourself? Seems effective to me
@@Nugcon Well, I need to learn to draw properly.
The opening scene is a special kind of cursed.
XD
Yes he is tapping into the meme energy
The rest if the dog characters just applausing in the intro
This video was well done and helped me with getting ready to really make this animatiom short im going for! Thank you so much man 🙏🔥
Your are just taking questions out of my head and answering them you are amazing pls make more!!!!
Your videos have so perfect time of upload omg !
I was just searching for how I can do animation studies.... Thank you thank you thank you so much !!!
I am soooo thankful for you! I’m just getting into animation and I needed something that could help me balance when to attack and when to seek information. This video has helped me out so much. I also thank you for giving so many good examples and pros and cons.
A good thing to do is to learn how you learn! It’ll help you breakdown and retain information! 😊 🙏🏾 Thank you!
You are one incredible person Toniko I still hope the concept footage of Dream Bandits become a movie
maybe we might see it in movie theaters or in Netflix who knows, keep doing what you do best of being creative, I wish you luck keep up the great work.
It actually applies to any field. Interesting perspective
This is actually really helpful, thank you!
Videos in this length and is well-structured really brings out the many points and thoughts young aspiring animators have running in their minds currently. Serving as a reminder that approaching this career path (or small time gig why not) has its ups and downs and there is no perfect way to go about it. I'm glad I invested myself into learning and understanding these well-thought-out and consistent lessons about the many ways you can learn animation. Initially I saw myself having to go through the traditional post high school pathway, but in fact many people follow different options in their own respective environments to get to the level where they want to be which broadened my perspective on the many options. As long as there people who are driven by the wonders of animation and in other creative, visual artistic fields. Then we would see more awesome works of art to come, the result from watching others grow and develop as artists.
This does sound like an earful if said out loud, but I'm just here to appreciate, careful, naturally thorough, videos and its lessons from animators of the animation industry.
He is indeed a very organized and analytical youtuber.
the silly sketch bit at the front is great! it adds a great intro to ur informative video!
0:07 the way he says it... it gets me everytime XD
That opening scene was so funny I couldn't take it!!
I have to admit that the donut part got me
I need to learn drawing first ;-) I did a fair bit of drawing on paper when I was young. I found I probably wanted to learn to use a graphics tablet because every thing went computer based. However I find I have a hard time even gripping the stylus (in fact I have a hard time gripping a pencil to write now, I just end up straining my hand).
mil gracias por existir
very interesting intro…
Thumbnail looks like the bear is trying to pass a massive turd
Jokes aside (intro) lol, this is really helpful. Thank you
I originally wanted to get a degree in character animation, but because I didn’t have the exceptional artistic skills and there’s a very limited class capacity for animation courses, I decided to go for a Studio Art major with a focus in illustration instead. I thought I was falling behind in my career in hopes to because a 2D animator. But now I realize it really was for the best because I more than likely would’ve been very miserable and overwhelmed, paying for the tuition, not knowing the fundamentals, working with tight deadlines, and more than likely not learning what I want to do. In my last few years in various art classes, I really learned a lot not just in my artistic techniques but also who I want to be as an artist. I learned multiple different mediums and saw what works for me and what doesn’t, I learned that I don’t have to have a certain degree to get to where I want, I can learn animation on my own time, doing my own research and avoiding all the pressure I would have in a classroom.
If only it were that quick and easy
Needed that
I am from Cuba and here there is not much animation industry but it is what excites me ... someone could recommend some Masive Online Communities?
For the joining an online community part. I want to give a warning, you may feel left behind when you see how many people have "better" work than you. And you should probably accept that and be cool with yourself before joining.
oh lord that start hahaha I have that book ;_;
My online mentor.😁
Omedetto animator kun.
I'm learning in over half of these ways and I feel very affirmed lol
Lol
The accuracy
was wondering why I couldn't find you channel when I searched The Stringbing Channel
HAHAHAHAHA ... that part about the Animator's Survival Guide is priceless.
😘 salamat
This video took me out of my mini anxiety episode cause of the high prices of real estate here in Manila 🤣 lots in our place is 5k/swm so that gave me a shock lol
Thanks for taking me out of my rut with this
10/10 intro 👌😂
ya dudes ever try to pose to pose animation on after effects but keyframing the shapes paths? it's so surreal
I never understood one thing: why analysis of references is so rarely mentioned in animation learning. While how to draw books are built on observing the reality, animation ones mostly feature drawn cartoons. And even the simplest examples such as bouncing ball and pendulum are most oftenly created by the animator and not shown using an actual video recording.
Could someone recommend an online community to share animation?
13:31 a breakdown would be appreciated!
*snort* THE PAIN! LOL
I didn't even want to animate, I went to animation school to learn concept art and then discovered I like animating as well.
............I can't unsee those opening scenes.......CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A BLEACH??????
Hey Toniko you really should make your Intros into Tik Tok because its short and really funny ( your voice kill me Everytime !!!! XD )
:-[ plz no
No
Give it to me straight doc... As a 30 year old with little to no experience with creating art in a professional manner, you think it's possible to make it in ze business it if I put the work in? I mean, I've taken up art and animation during the pandemic and I've made some heavy progress (at least in the art part) and I feel really passionate about it. I also understand that it's a really competitive field and there's a metric crap ton of stuff for me to still learn and refine till I would even consider myself a competent artist. I have no connections, no friends that are into the same thing. Kinda feel like it's almost futile to even try.
Do you think there's a chance? ... I mean I'd still do it anyway but getting paid for it wouldn't go amiss :P
I’m late but if u put the work in, there is nothing u can’t do :) go for it!! ❤️
Why did the first part of this video feel like my art school? 🥲 hehehe jk 😜🙃
Not me getting traumatized in the first 30seconds XDDD
Hahahahaha jesus, you ok man? XD (just watching the intro)
Ok
0:32 is my subscribers watching my latest s⬛️tpost lmao
Anyways i have a question for artists out there, how young do you think someone could get into a legitimate professional class? Like in person. I’m 13 & I’ve been seriously working on my animation for almost 4 years now & i’ve kind of refused to look into going to a school (for some reason.)
Also _where can I find the dragon animation in the video??_
@@LmaoMeowz I also want to see dragon cartoon ;-;
oh the paaaaiiinnn...
But HOOOOOW do you animate
First. Decide what tools to use. Tip--Go with the ones you have already. Second. Draw something. Tada! That's your first frame. Third. Draw another frame. Either the next one or the last one in the movement. Don't worry about being good.
I... Don't know that's how u... eah...... that's ummm that's... interesting... I'm not gonna say anything thing now...
Lol what was that intro
The clapping gives me Evangelion feels
1:01 i thought she was turning into a pikachu lol
what the fuck was that thumbnail? anyways that was a good video .
Lol
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You can't disrespect him by saying his name as dick williams, 😠😠😡😡
This book is really helpfull for me ✌
do you even know what the nickname for richard is?
@@TonikoPantoja yes I know but you should say his real name ( Richard William)
It's funny though
Flagged for sexual content
Delete this.
Not liking calarts isn't "toxic". Nothing about calarts represents anything I represent or embody. I feel no kinship with it. On no level whatsoever. I loathe to call it 'western animation', too.
Agree... I find it pretty ugly
It is however toxic to insult people who work and like that style of animation
@@Xenderman No, it's not.
@@dorklymorkly3290 yes it is. I wasnt sure whether you were toxic or not, before you decided that insulting people based on what they like was considered "not toxic." Thank god i dont know you IRL.
@@Xenderman Well then you better go to the hospital and get detoxed.
But that feeling is mutual.
