Hey that's cool

I love this series. It's a great introduction to animation. I wonder if anyone's doing the homework assignments to this course and how a complete newbie would fare in doing these exercises.

I wonder that too :) some people share work with me via Instagram and twitter but I think moving forward I want to do some more practical classes based around exercises

Thanks for your vidéo 🙏 i think now i'm gonna do keyframing

Best series going right now! You're helping a lot of animators with these

I love that you give some neat homework at the end of each of your lessons..... I am doing 3d animation myself, but still find all these lessons highly applicable to 3d. Only recently discovered your channel and really really loving it. :)

Class has never been so entertaining

I appreciate the time spent on finding references that illustrate the things you are teaching. We're learning animation AND getting visual inspo all-in-one!

Huge help for my animations, Thank you!

I'm so happy I suddenly came across short from you channel. Simple, understandable and inspiring! And this little homework section - just what I needed! Thank you!

Thank you for providing all those very well planned, produced and documented videos for free. Invaluable, really

wonderful stuff, been a fan of your work ever since LNWC and I'm really looking forward to going through these videos

You have a great teaching style and your generosity is appreciated.

I'm korean student. This class is EPIC!!!!!!!!!! So thank you for make this animaition class.

Your content is top tier and needs more views! So well explained and demonstrated!

The goat is back, love your style and hiw clear it is

Thank you so much for these Detailed Tutorials for Animation! Its helping alot :)

I love these man, these are very refreshing and I love the animation, visual style, colours too :D I hope you have a great day or night :)

These visualizations of thoughts are amazing! It's just fun to watch and listen

Awesome quality videos man, appreciate what you're doing 👍

Currently experimenting with both techniques throughout animations. You can definitely see the difference when you go back and test the animation. Using both helps with picking out what flows well and what doesn't and allows for you to go back and make any changes that might need to be made! Great video, very helpful!

you are a great teacher your classes really help me alot thank foe making this🥰🥰♥

Yay!! I was waiting for this, thanks a ton!!

Man these lessons are soooo good

I've watched his videos and tips and i gotta say, my animation has been getting better. Thanks Alex, i'll watch more of you so that i can improve more and get better

I love your animation style! Amazing classes!!!

I've been doing straight ahead for some time now. I didn't know there is another method to animate. Thank you for this one. I really love your tutorials.

I LOVE THESE!!

Another great tutorial. I also like your illustrations.

Masterful explanation.

This is great!

While I don't do the homework right now, I am planning to once I get a software for it, and I'm probably going to begin taking notes tomorrow

When i was a beginner I would Do Straight Ahead and Man! I would draw for hours on every frame and the characters were continuously Shrinking and enlarging. And I was tired af But later on I discoverd Pose to Pose and it is a pretty good method

That is one of the big challenges with animating straight ahead in 2D. I'm glad you found a way around it :)

Hey Ben Ommundson! Love that guy's work. Love this series too, keep it up!

(22:20) Straight ahead animating got me in such a mess, switching to keyframing was so helpful

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a beginner animator but I always struggle with basic stuff like this

Thank you, Alex!

keep it up Alex!

bro your tutorials are nice and cool keep it up

I do both types! :)

I love you, man!

i love this bro

You made me remember how heart-breaking Lost and Found was

Oh wow , just realizing this applies to writing as well ! Plotters and Pantsers ! Architects and gardeners. Wow, this is SUPER interesting. Maybe it also applies to sketching intuitively, vs thumbnailing? - Great video btw. Love listening to these while working on my animated projects.

This is the best animation channel, you explain very well. keep it up 🙏

Perfeito! Amei!

This summer I’m going on a animation grind

Thank you

Fantastic breakdown, I've only animated a little before (adding little animated details to illustrations, etc) but definitely wanna try more and it's great to have a straightforward and well made video going over the fundementals!

Thank u a ton! :-)

Hey I really loved all your videos Especially for beginners, you are just a blessing! Thank you so much for such valuable content... My question is from where did you learn all these things? Can you suggest some youtube channels and tutorials?

Man where were you when I was taking the worst animation class in high school

I know your channel is mostly focused on the fundamentals but I would LOVE some content on how you use the tools (PS, ToonBoom, Procreate, etc.)

Hey I love your animations and wanted to know what animation software you use can you please tell me?

Thnx bro I use the keyframe tweeting animation using toon boom harmony , and I have the robotic unnatural move in my animation, how I kill this robotic issue while using the kryfrane tweeting is it only to use the spacing concept ?? Pls advise and check my cartoon animation shorts

thank you for the videos! i really enjoy how informative + short but not too short they are! wanted to ask, which animation software/s do you think is a good one to invest in if i want to get more into digital animation?

Thanks mate. Ah the eternal question! I need to investigate some of the cheaper software options out there... I use Tvpaint, but thats very expensive. If you have access to the Adobe suite AnimateCC is a good option. I've seen a few inexpensive things around like flipaclip and roughanimor, but I haven't used them so I can't tell how good they are. Blender is free if you want to try something in 3d as well :)

Milt Kahl: Keys > Extremes > Breakdowns > Straight-aheads on individual parts However, Richard Williams also said "Milt Kahl": Keys > Extremes > Breakdowns > Breakdowns between Breakdowns and Extremes > Straight-aheads on individual parts ...At the moment, I'm doing keys > breakdowns > very rough inbetweens (on the main/leading part/action) to "pencil test", throwing away drawings, discovering the exact spacing I want before tie-down... then creating a new folder/charts to focus solely on, say, the arms... ^ Working this way, like Milt, I find every piece moving independently from each other; unrestrained, unrestricted from being on the same timeline/chart; the head/body's breakdown is in a different position than the arm's breakdown position..... in addition, having the arms, (or whatever) in a separate folder allows you to move it along the timeline, experimenting with the timing... not locked into a single drawing..... So far, again, I find this more natural, fluid than robotically hitting keyframes, breakdowns. ...But it's also a giant pain in the ass!... Like James Baxter says in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKyHttSAaa3PXZc.html I, like he, at that moment, still do not understand how Milt did it with a single paper & chart. Watch Milt's characters limbs... so fluid... not robotic (like most TV animation, arriving dead-on the breakdowns/keys)... it's shocking when you realize the difference: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4WisrNvgaWufKg.html

Hello. Class three is about spacing, and class two is about the relationship between spacing, timing and posing. I don't use the term favouring very often, but those classes sound like the ones you're looking for :)

If flipaclip didnt need as much money as it does i would try keyframing
