    This is probably the best contemporary explanation of the 12 principles I've come across. Short, clear, and entertaining. I'm flipping my intro to animation class and this is what I assign students to watch. They come to class ready to animate! Thanks for making my job easier!

    really appreciate these, thank you. I've been an animator for 4 years and ive struggled getting to grips with these principles, you've made them easier to understand and also shown the common errors that people tend to fall into.

    When I first saw this playlist I thought, 'Oh gosh, another list of things to memorize before trying this out.' Unlike EVERYTHING I simply wanted to try, I did not have to go through a complicated list of things I needed to know to perfect it. You make these pretty fun to watch, and they were so interesting I went through all of them in one day. You explained all the necessary details in a no-nonsense way, some I have never experienced. You do pretty good at presentations and REALLY good at animations. I always wanted to try animating but am still yet to have the necessary tools to do it. I saw your 10-year Animator Versus Animation video, and you have amazing story. I first created my channel on August 20th, 2016, but have been using KZread for some years. Now that I have a Google account, I can finally do all the things a regular community user can do and not simply watch videos. I can finally speak my mind through comments and say the things I wished to say for a long time. I'm mostly here to do that, but I am planning on putting a video together where I take a picture of myself every day and put them all together one by one. Though I'm not much of a video person, do expect to see my comments pop up in a lot of my favorite places here. I'm still pretty invisible as of August 26th, 2016 due to low activity, but you can always click on one of my comment icons to go to my channel. See you!

    [:3] My cat just watched 3 of these videos in a row!! She's 1 year old and this is the SECOND time she has ever watched anything!!! The first time was when she watched the entire opening scene of La La Land. Further, I'm 90% certain she learned about the concept of frames from watching this series. Whoah. Phenomenal to watch her learn from it too. Oh, plus I really really loved it, fantastic teaching + presentation. AAA+ Will prob watch them all 5 more times. KZread at its best. ~ p e a c e ~ ~ keep up the great work & heart! ~
