Possibly the easiest to follow tut for ae animation I have seen so far. Great work mate, love your character designs!

greatest tutorial EVER! all the others were so complicated, long, and unspecific. this was awesome, i finally learned how to do animations.

Lee, I LUV ur work. and I also LUV the way u made the several head gestures go with the opening theme song, brilliant.

What a great tutorial! Very good example, good speed and just the right information to get started. Thank you!

Very useful and to the point. I have a cartoon template and was scratching my head figuring out how to change expressions. Thank you!

The most simple and really worthy tutorial i watch for my first cartoon spoof video! Thanks you so much!

FANSTASTIC ! Thank you so much ! One of the best tutorial i've ever seen :)

Hey great tutorial. Dunno if you've ever had this problem, as soon as I load the photoshop sequence into after effects I have no control over the time line, I can't move the indicator or shorten any layers. Ever had that problem? if so how'd you fix it? Thanks a mil

Hey Lee, I've been doing quite a lot of face animation lately in after effects, but involving z-depht simply by putting them in perspective as shown in your video at 0:45 and as I thought it was the subject in this tutorial considering the smoothness of your Catch animation. Anyway, if you do and when you do 3d layers animation, I was wondering if you were experiencing the same pain I'm in when I have to find the ideal spot for all the single layers, z position and scale talking or do you have a magic trick that would blow my mind? Another huge problem would be the fact that any change to my camera settings would alter the look of the face and show the empty spots...

very good

LeeDaniels have you thought about using DuIK for animating faces - controls give you more controls literally. I used to animate this will alt+frame where you key frame every layer at once but its a pain to go back and revise... I enjoy your videos , cheers

Question, what if I create some expressions that I want to reuse. Is there a way to like archive/save/organize these expressions so I can easily reuse them without trying to figure out which keyframes have which expression?

I want to learn the animation you made between 0.43-0.50. how can I do 3d from 2d. are there similar that like videos?

I have a rig for a front on view and a 3/4 view what’s the best way to switch between them smoothly?

which resolution setting for after effect 2d animation from illustrator. because when i use camera zoom my animation character is cracking. what can i Do please help.

the Channel i was looking for is found right here.

Life saver

I made sure I checked Layers when I saved it in Photoshop. I import it into AE and I select "Comp - Retain Layer Sizes". However, whenever I open the comp I only get a flattened image, I don't get any layers. Any idea why that is?

so i made a 2d character in photoshop and sent it into after effects to rig, i have also finished the lip sync, but nowI want to use the 3D camera, but when i make my character 3D everything goes out of order and i don't know what to do, i want to zoom and pan

genius man

Did you also draw character in photoshop or imported from illustrator?

WOW!!!

Hi, i will definitely tune in :-) What i am really wondering is: how you do set up your line work in Illustrator and then convert it, so that you have these great looking outlines in the Animated character in AE. I found some tutorials on how to use the track matte, but i can't get it to work. Would it be possible to make a tutorial about that?? Looking forward to your reply. Greets Lenny

@LeeDanielsART

8 жыл бұрын

Hey +Adriano Ott , sorry for the late reply. Size depends the resolution of your final video. If your video is 1920 x 1080 HD, your illustrations need to be at least that size to appear sharp. If you need them to scale up or move close to the screen, you need to make sure you create them at maybe double the size of the final video (2000px or 3000px high). That's a very short and basic answer to a very complicated subject. Hope it helps! ;)

hi your video is good keep going like that . ..i have a question .if youmake me get rid out of this question i shall be very thank full to you .. question is that when i have rigged my character and done my key framing of some action then i will use this character in my new composition or my project .let supsose that i make a keyfram of walkcycle and then i put my character in new comp and he is walkin .now what i have to do is that.now i want any other action that my character will do .so what i have to do for this thing .can i go to previous comp to change my keframes and then i will drag and drop on a previous character on my project .if i will do new kefram of my previous characer then the keyfrem of my project character that i have used for walking are changed automatically ..simply .which is confusing me is that once i have done the keyfram of my action.and now i want any other action that my character have do .how can i use one characer to do multiple actions in a composition ..
