How to make SMOOTH animation easy ? Tutorial

Here are the methods I use to make animations smoother.
I tried to explain the principles as simply as possible. Of course it may seem incomplete or unprofessional, but it was in order to share my methods as simply as possible and accessible to new beginner animators. I hope it is easy to understand and that this tutorial will help you. Do not hesitate to tell me in the comments what kind of tutorial you would have liked to see too.

Not only is it useful, but this video also improves mood. ✨

These are all examples of some of the 12 principles of animation, first one is easing, second one is a famous technique yet not a principle but smear frames, then you used squash and stretch and then secondary movement! Amazing work!

[donuthounde]

Yippee! More awesome tips!
Thanks :D

The cursed frames one is so real

[Nerii_]

These are actually 3 of the 12 animation principles!

1- easing, used to show an obejct accelerate or slowing down

2- smear frame (this one is not a principle but it's useful to convey fast movement and saving time for animating)

3- squash and strech, used to show more impact and dynamism in movement

4- secondary movement, this adds so much life and interest to the main action!

I love how you apply them on your work and how natural You make your characters movement feel, that's a bit difficult to achieve even when You have past experience on drawing, amazing work!

[ushdkdjdd-real]

the part where you squish a character in animating is that you also actually need to make the character a bit more wider than before but enough and not very wide

Now the tricky part is remembering these tips...although I wouldn't mind watching this video over and over again to rememeber.

YIPPIEEE, cool tips and cool seeing someone still use flipaclip even after all the p2u drama about them, that's some dedication to a (most likely) childhood program lol /vpos also dang the animation is really good
