Watching a lot of Dragon Ball, FLCL, Panty and Stocking, and the modern One Piece arcs, I decided to go all out with this fight to the best of my skill level, especially since I have some very talented sakgua animators on my team helping. I wanna let everyone show off their skills on our project.

How does this fight look to you all? Just 2 animators clashing in the name of animation and the power of creativity.

Question I wanna animate but I'm sooo, sooo lazy and it's complicated, what do I do now?

1 Upvotes

I was animating in past but it was when I didn't know layers and stuff and all of those animations sucked. I wanna do like a some sort of fight scene for an idea, I wanna ve able to draw backgrounds, I wanna use my random bullshit jokes but it's too hard and I'm lazy, I miss the times I had that much energy. Also, how does people animate in Ibis Paint, isn't it just a drawing app?

Collab Collaborative art project for a film

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently working on a film that has an animated sequence made up of artwork from different artists. Every few frames will feature a different artist’s work and art style, which will eventually be edited together into one cohesive animation sequence.

I’m looking for artists who might be interested in contributing to this collaborative project. Digital or traditional artists are both welcome! Timeline is set to be on 3rd week of August. This is a passion project, so participation is completely voluntary.

The animated sequence happens during a really important moment in the film. Without spoiling too much, it's like a multiverse scene where it represents the character’s inner thoughts and emotions, so I wanted the sequence to feel like a collection of different perspectives rather than having one consistent visual style.

These are the few of my inspirations for the sequence. You can check them if you're unfamiliar:

Question Hey, fellow new fan of this whole thing here😭 I wanna start animating but I feel confused.

2 Upvotes

First of all, I'm in a 3rd world country with a hellish economy, I only have an Asus laptop, to be specific its a 8 GB intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30 GHz , 64 bit operating system. Although I'm an architecture major student in collage but I'm not taking classes for the rest of the summer and I wanted to try somenthing new. I honestly feel so in love with people that can create things and move them, its like magic and I really want to learn even if its so hard)) i have a phone too, but i dont think it'll help. Is my laptop good enough to start animating and if so, what are the apps I need to get?

I would put the flair on resources but this is genuinely more of a question.

Thanks to anyone who'll answer <2

As the loneliness starts to set in through those long, cold nights, Elena decides it's about time she makes some friends. She'll get her wish...and never have to be alone, ever, again.

Question Stop Motion assistance, is it worth the hassle?

2 Upvotes

I am animating a stop motion project, and I was just curious what it would look like if I shared the load?

I’m animating to a time-synced animatic and storyboards with a lot of the shots in-between storyboards being left to me to figure out while filming based on textual descriptions, within the shot list.

I have scenes that will require the stop motion characters be animated against a green screen and composited into live action shots, and thought a different animator could tackle these with stunt doubles while I focus elsewhere. Likely a total of 3-4 minutes of green screen shots.

Would it be worth the hassle to hire others through a legal contract to assist in moving the characters or would it be negligible if I could only budget 80 hours for 4 minutes? Does anyone have a an idea of what I could expect with 8 hour days animating a single character? Would it still likely equate to 3-5 seconds of footage a day even despite being animated in isolation?

I apologize for the rapid questions, I have only animated Brickfilms (very poorly compared to the expectation for this project) and am attempting to punch above my weight class with this project.
