It's difficult to describe how educated I feel right now

I’ve been animating for 3 years now, and these tips still helped! Thanks!

This was a a pretty interesting watch. Keep it up!

I believe the phrase is to just "git good"

[darthryan]

This is the first stop motion tutorial iv seen that actually explains things so well

[PortalMasterStudios]

Wow this is some amazing stuff! Nice to see someone recognizing that 30FPS does not make a film good, 12 can always be sufficient

[awesomepantsfilms]

As far as further tutorials go, I’d love to see the rest of the principles of animation covered!

[Chaizin]

My favorite types of animation are the subtle ones. Where you barely notice them, but they're there. Which makes them really satisfying to look at!

[MaxsLEGOStopMotion]

Amazing tutorial rio! You really put effort and dedication into just a tutorial that will most probably help a lot of beginners or even some experienced animators, you really covered some great points!

I honestly think this is the best turtorial on stop motion. I can never animate at 15 FPS cause it always looks to fast. When I searched up “how to make smoother animation” I thought most of the stuff would be at 15 FPS but then I came across this and tried some stuff out and realized that 12 FPS is way better.

Thank you so much for making this! I've been animating with LEGO for about 2 years and I still feel like an amateur. I've felt like I'll never get better, but after employing some of these techniques in test animations I've seen a real difference. Please continue to help people like me! 😁✌️

[ShaunKirkwood]

This is a great tutorial, thank you for sharing it. I. love that you shared some of your earlier animations and compared them to your work now. I'm going to share this with my students at school, I think they'll be really inspired!

Ayyy this is very clear and easy to understand unlike a few others I’ve watched.

Thanks! This really will help me with my stop motion. I can’t wait to test these techniques out in some of my later videos!

[Mr.Z]

i was looking for days for something that really explained easing in and out every one watched just told me to well... do it but they didn't explain. but you did so thanks bro

[octopusesever]

I have been trying to find a good tutorial for smoother animations and this is the best!!!! This video actually explains stuff really well. Great job

[Rhethm]

This was a great tutorial video! I heard others talk about easing in and out but never fully understood it till this video. You explained everything very well, thank you!

[legofluent]

Thank you so much I’m definitely going to be considering this for my future stop motion films!

[legovirgo]

This was great and much needed by me! I plan to do a sword fight, and want to convey a sense of weight and keeping balance. It appears that my idea for the shots perfectly lines up with what you've mentioned here. Thanks for this! I'll be referring to this video multiple times, I know.
