AngelTheWeirdStranger 504 Posted May 15, 2015 That's really cool! How much time did it take to make this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin3613 36 Posted May 15, 2015 That's really cool! How much time did it take to make this? Thanks! It took a total of 3-4 days since I only have my Acting and Movement for Animators class from 3PM - 6PM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelTheWeirdStranger 504 Posted May 15, 2015 so about 12 hours to make a 5 second animation. Animating must be really hard to do! I want to try to for myself but despite telling myself that this is what I want to do, I'm can't be sure because I haven't tried it before. Can you help me? Tell me how animation is like. How hard it is. How fun it can be. I can understand the feeling of accomplishment at the end but is it worth the while? Just tell me all everything you can, if you can.

Yes, animation can be a bit tedious at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy. What I did was read Richard William's Survivor Kit book and also looked at YouTube videos from people like Jazza or Harry Partridge. Animation is very fun for those who have a real patience for anything, so if you can't stand sitting down and animating frame to frame while also going back to do "in-betweeners" for hours on end, this probably isn't the thing for you. Patience is an essential key to animating, and if you learn how to do that, animating can be extremely fun, and yes, it is all worth while when you see the final results! It encourages you to keep trying and do more! I've been in college for about a year and 10 months, and when I first started my animation class, it was stressful (especially those dang in-betweeners!), and I found myself leaving school early just to rest, but I got past all that once I saw how it came together. The more I practiced, the more people began to admire my work a lot more, and that feeling feels great when other people enjoy your stuff! And don't worry if you don't get any praise for your work, sometimes people will harshly criticize you, but use that criticism to help motivate you further to do better in the future. So criticism, good or bad, is good! I hope I've answered most of your questions! 1 AngelTheWeirdStranger reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
