About the SOFTWARE I use in the video:


It's a great software :)

It's the best tablet money can buy :)

When I was a very little kid, I played with my stuffed animals a lot, and I remember I used to pose them in action shots and imagine how the composition and angle would be if it were an animated film. I didn't know anything about film, I just watched a lot of action movies and was always trying to figure out what made them look so cool.

as someone who is trying to teach myself the beautiful skill of animation, i really do appreciate your channel.

If you want to see an animator with crazy "camera" movements then check Naotoshi Shida's work. He recently went full out on DBS Broly, and his work there is pack to the brim with insane zooms in and out and absurd rotations. He's an overall great animator with an extremely unique style.

0:03 i’ve never seen something so clean

[washitbyagianttruck]

Dude, i can´t tell you how helpful this was. I can´t even point out what exactly makes me feel that way but it just was helpful. I think your words somehow showed me that i need to get more "hands on" with stuff and maybe take my time to plan out my objects and environment in the real world before going into any program. I guess i start thinking differently and get caught up in unneccessary technical stuff once i draw digitally without having visualized my scene in 3D in the real world. Thanks so much, for real. I´m a poor student so i can´t offer you anything more than my thankful comment and a sub, so here you go

Hey Man
Great work as always
If Youre going to make more analisys vids
I HIGHLY recommend the Castle Entrance Fight from Castlevania
Id love to see that
Mainly the animation on Trevor's WHIP

[IIDarkMagixII]

Literally always love watching/ listening to your videos when I'm animating. You always make interesting points and give very useful advice 😌

[megumareta]

The way to manipulate camera work with speed is so hard. My best example is definitely Yutaka Nakamura

[donmojo]

Fantastic info. Especially @7;38... and the music is superb.

[pandeytium]

Sir
You are the best...
Your explanation always engage me to do more animation experiment

[vipulmehra]

This is exactly i was looking for. And it was hard for me to accept that animating a whole sequence requires prior practical experimentations with real models. But now i guess, thats the only hard way to learn this, there are no software shortcuts. Thanks for this hard validation :)

[aneye.]

I like it when you talk about self experimenting.

[satisfieduser]

good job Howard, thanks, you 're very inspiring

[a.n]

Hey have you seen Mob Psycho? I watched it recently and the animation in that show is amazing

[ThatTCAT]

This is amazingly insightful! And definitely something I struggle with in regards to my animation

[maicey_t.]

Oh my heck THANK YOU for this. I really struggle with camera angles.

[Phoca_Vitulina]

Thanks so much, this is super helpful, especially when you broke it down with the polar bear. Really helpful stuff and the tips/summary towards the end. Great content!

[laughterclub]

I am a 16 year old boy and I'm obsessed with animating
So I draw in my phone and I animate motions
And I saw some super cool camera angle movements in an anime (I forgot the name)
And I knew I have to try that
So I just searched in yt and watch your video
Awesome

[AM-jxzf]

It's crazy how much good stuff you have! This is exactly what I searched, and I got it.
