How to Animate ANYTHING - 4 Types of Motion

Have you ever looked at an amazing sketch by a master artist and thought, “Man. If I could just draw like that I would be the best animator in the world! Why doesn’t this person animate? They’d be great”

The truth is though, even the most talented artist can still be an amateur animator. Why? Because animation is not just about drawing. It’s about Timing and it’s about Spacing.

In this video, we'll go over some basic spacing knowledge that will unlock a world of possibility in your animations.

Can't quite wrap my head around an artist on youtube promoting AI art generation in his intro.

The first few minutes of this video is the most hilarious thing ever

[springwater]

Your actually a really good teacher i was reading the animators survival kit and couldn't really figure out this concept but after watching this vid everything was a lot more clearer💯

I really love the way you introduced timing charts in this! I've always known about them, but I wasn't sure just how much they'd contribute to the animation process. Really great tutorial, thanks! :)

Watching this after attempting to do my (technically) second animation, which was a bouncing lollipop with a ribbon attached (I thought it’d be cute, idk 😂) and I’m actually shocked that I kind of was able to “intuit” making the ribbon ease in and out so that it looked “right” according to the feel of the motion I was going for- it followed a similar arc to your figure here. Obviously, it took a long time, I was just adding frames where it felt right, and it wasn’t such a smooth/straightforward process like how you planned the animation here, so this was really helpful in showing how to plan the timing, determine what needs to go on which frame, etc., along with explaining the types of motion. Thank you for such a great video! 🙏

With everything out about A.I. generated images right now you wouldn’t think big artists with reach would be promoting something so harmful.

I tried this after that video and it get improved😳
I am so happy now
Thank you for this video 🤗

Trying to learn animation, wish me luck ! :)

[andreso]

thank you so much, as a traditional artist getting into digital animation it does look a bit overwhelming. But, here you explained it so well. I appreciate the guides you make, and I will make sure to use these in my future animations!

[elisecote]

your channel was recommended to me by the algorithm after I did a few search on quick videos to onboard junior animators and I'm absolutely delighted that I also get to review everything by binge-watching your content!!

VERY bold of you to assume i can draw a character

[cinnamintie]

man literally starts his video with a trailer for a website that uses pintrest and artstation to train their ai. Pintrest especially is known for people posting large amounts of uncredited art work, so its impossible for that art to be referenced with any consent. For those curious: CF Spark uses LAION-5B data set for their AI, which heavily just scrapes easily accessible publicly available (note: not necessarily licensed or free use) images for their data set.

Excellent class sir. It's quite a step up from moving boxes to making characters move in a lifelike manner. Thanks

[animatorFan]

Such a great tutorial.... I learnt so much just from this basic tutorial to put into my own animattion.... love it :)

[soliniumpulse]

Your explanation of timing charts, as well as your guided tutorial has helped me so much! Thank you!

[pepitocovid-]

tHIS WAS ACTUALLY HELPFUL, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO KNOW WHAT WAS THIS THING'S NAME AND WHAT WAS IT USED FOR AND NOW I FINALLY KNOW IT, TYSM

[notnA]

I love animation, but I am dissapointed with your AI art shill at the start.

[normalguy]

Finally a video where the youtuber teaches instead just do it and expect us to understand

[icantexistence]

Thank you, Professor Frugal! Learning more every video

[itsthegrmatt]

LoL I just understood how to make timing charts. That's super helpful. Thanks!
