Something I do is just keeping shapes simple while in the rough stage and going through frames one by one and seeing where the shapes grow or shrink. Then I fix the size; it takes a keen eye to do though, and practice. Just keep in mind the movement you're trying to make while you do this.

Eno Spi has some excellent advice. Keeping your volumes consistent is a fundamental of animation. Here’s another thing I do and it works for me: I draw a rough, simplified, structural drawing of my character in the size he needs to be for the scene. This drawing is my proportional standard. This is the first drawing on my pegs… As I animate, I will occasionally flip back to this standard to check my proportions.

+Waalk R Right back at you, I grew up in Indo and I had to study abroad just to learn animation - so hopefully I can contribute into spreading it around!

Man, timing charts have always been my worst nightmare. From deciding exactly which ones to use, to knowing just how many frames i'm actually going to need.. my question is, is it possible not to know exactly how many frames youre going to need for a specific action and need to change it up later? like, say, if you make two keys, can you temporarily label them as A and B until you are certain of just how many frames you need for the action? Or, should you just guess and stick within the confines of your guess? I guess knowing how many frames an action might take comes with experience, but for those just starting out, would a letter system be better? i think my biggest struggle is favoring, and knowing exactly what situations to use it in. I'd love to see more examples of types of actions that require their respective timing. This video is really great and literally explains timing charts better than any of my instructors in animation school did. lmao. amazing. I'm gonna stay closely tuned and definitely look for those other videos you mentioned.

+Lester Knight Chaykin Hi there. It is alright not to know how long or how many frames your animation will need for a shot - so it is fine to label them as letters or numbers if you want. If you feel uncomfortable about setting your timing first hand, you could shoot your keys and breakdowns first, arrange them digitally until you get a timing you are satisfied. Once you are happy with the timing, you could use those frame numbers are re label your original drawings. I wouldn't trial and error it all the way because it doesn't encourage you to be more decisive with your timing - but the more you do it, the more you get familiar with how long frames can last for. For favoring, I'd say its used for mostly two things: You are trying to make a drawing read that plays by very fast, or its a specific action like some bloke getting hit in the face for example. There's really no way to know when is the best time to use it, you kind of have to feel for yourself when you are animating a scene. At some point in your animation, you'll probably find yourself at a place where you aren't happy with an inbetween because it makes the animation look floaty, or the impact of one of your key drawings is lost. That's a good time to consider about favoring!

Im reading 'The Animators Survival Kit' and one if his tips was to physically act and time out the motion you are trying to animate. Then depending what timing your using you can sort of figure out how many frames will go in between. I could be misunderstanding but that's what I got from reading that! Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ^^

Good lord, how am i finding you just now? I'm a frame by frame animator and my animation often looks wobbly or plays at weird speeds. You're a godsend.

Do you ever find yourself not using the chart because of how familiar you are with the timing? I never use these charts mainly because I never really understood it (until now haha). When I animate I kinda do the timing mentally and eyeballing it on screen as I inbetween my keys.

+mangimewhite94 Hey man! Indeed, in fact sometimes when I'm animating digitally, I don't really use add specific timing charts - but the concept of how they work is usually in my mind. This is because on digital medium, there's digital playback so I can instantly play the animation, and feel the motion while I work. Unlike in traditional animation, you'd have to arrange your frames and shoot it frame by frame. Timing charts are really just guides, used for implementing the timing and the drawings needed for in-betweening. It's also great when you need that extra hand to help you in between your keys! It's great for organization reasons. I'd say if you really want to really grasp the idea of in-betweening (and the benefits of learning hand drawn on animation on paper) is limit the use of the play button and using charts to plan your movements!

@mangimewhite94

+Marji Bordner That's something I hear often from students from other animation schools. Although when I was still a student, not many folks really got the idea, or used timing charts either. It's one of those things you kind of have to apply to yourself in order to learn it. I learned more about timing charts when I had to freelance with various studios and film makers. The most recent freelance I had to do required me to make timing charts for my animation since it was going to be cleaned up in South Korea. That's where I learned how to make more organized timing charts. If you are animating traditionally, having an exposure sheet on the side helps.

Thank you so much! This was the most useful information I have watched about charts, even more precise for acting animation than those in the animator's survival kit. I accidentally watched one of your videos looking for acting animation to put on practice. Keep doing this videos! I really appreciate it!

I am so glad that this series exists, it's helped me so much!

You are a savior man!! i've been struggling with this topic for so long, and now it seems so clear to me, that i don't have words to thank you! :)

This is extremely helpful! I've been struggling in my animation class with slow-ins and outs, so it's nice to see how they can be used in different ways!

I have been working in animation for years and this is a great piece on timing charts. A few things I would do differently but as you say every animator has some variations to how they approach them. Great Work

Do you know how many times I’ve asked teachers and classmates to explain this and it went in one ear and out the other. You’re doing god’s work 😭

I like how the video was set up. Made taking notes for my project really easy and the bibliography easier as well since you did the overview.

This video is such a lifesaver. I've been searching about inbetweening explanation, but this is the best one I have found so far.

I’ve been following your twitter, but this is my first video. IT WAS AMAZING. I learned all these new things that I’ve never seen in self teaching myself animation from KZread! I loved your tutorial. You gave unique information with really great quality examples and made it interesting to look at at all times. I’m excited to follow you for a long time. :D

Thank you so much for posting this for the free. You break down concepts like this so simply. I appreciate it!

Thank you for your amazing videos ! It's been hard for me to grasp the concept of inbetweening (especially in a book, I mean, it doesn't move, so it's much harder to understand ahah) but your explanation really helped me figure it out. As a beginning animator, I'm certainly going to need this knowledge ! (And gonna share it, it's really great )

This made all the difference for me. Before watching this my animations were fine, but now they straight up look professional, it's incredible!

Ahh thank you! Finally I understand the mysterious chart I keep seeing, it's been haunting me for too long. I had a very rough understand of it before now, but today I pretty much get it? Still going to take a little thinking about. Might even mess around at utilize it. Knowing what frames of a motion to draw has been a trouble during animating, it makes sense to map out the frames like this.

This is great! This is always something I just wing but it was nice to get an understanding for a future professional setting.

Thank you so much for this. I use a digital animation software called pencil 2D and I think your video help a lot with how I can time each movement.

I kid you not when i say i've had 4 animation teachers and i couldn't understand timing charts until now... Had an idea from what they taught me but it was a true mess. Thought i understood it when they explained them but when it came to making charts on my own animation i had no freaking idea what i was doing half the time lol. Very useful video! Very well explained and the visual examples helped a ton.
