If you haven’t already, you should make a video for each of the 12 principals. This is great.

What’s so amazing about your Blender tutorials is that you explain things quickly with such laser sharp focus, but also do it in a way that is engaging and entertaining. It’s refreshing. I see so many blender tutorials that are either way too slow, requiring you to watch their 45 min video at 2x speed so as to not fall asleep, or go way too fast, where you wonder if the person is just wanting to show off their blender skills, rather than educate the viewer. You seem to magically achieve the perfect balance in your videos. Keep it up!!!

I agree, but at the same time those longer tutorials also solve many issues which we may face while working. So both kinds of tutorials have their own use cases

I'm so glad i found this channel! It's the perfect length, easy to just skip to the correct part because you split up your videos in separate sections, and your voice is so nice to listen to. I've been using blender for many years and this channel has sparked so much more inspiration :D

This guy is a legend. Really!

This video is so golden. Not only because it's the one trick to learn all subsequent tricks but because it's the exact animation I want to reproduce on a text :')

Classic. This is a great tip. Fundamentals are evergreen.

Good video. This gets more tricky with video game character animations, because everything has to happen immediately

I'm impressed with the information and presentation. I hope I can incorporate some of this knowledge into my previously lackluster animations.

This was a fantastic video, thank you for sharing this concept. Subbed.

Ayyy the camera is in focus! You know the video will be good!

I had a feeling that this video, as handy as it was, was going to give answers to the two questions I didn't have (WHAT is Anticipation and WHEN do you use it?...) and not give an answer to the one question I did have... HOW do you implement these techniques? Like, HOW specifically, in Blender?... I guess I did see something about "shape keys". This is usually what happens in these types of videos. A certain technique is described but there's no technical explanation or literal steps given on how to use something like shape keys or whatever other methods could be implemented to obtain the technique being described. So, I guess I'm wondering what video I need to be looking for?

YOU. ARE. UNDERRATED. You deserve much more love and support cuz im a beginner at blender and i wont necessarily use these tips but im very sure that ill need them one day in the future hopefully oh and also one small request uhhh i want to learn blender more im not a complete beginner i know how to make objects i can kind of model i made one rig and im not sure if it works properly cuz i gave up halfway through adjusting the weight paint im kinda in need of a tutorial that goes over the basics of rigging and animation and modelling tbh and some of those pesky hidden unknown keyboard shortcuts....buuuut you are amazing thanks for your amazing content dude i subbed to ya you deserve it

Thanks so much! Yeah, I'd recommend following a beginner series that shows you the ropes. I have a series on my channel that walks through most of the main things a beginner would need and you get to make a sweet isometric scene by the end of it!

great advice! thank you! 🙏🏼

Would you consider doing some longer videos? It seems you have a lot of knowledge and while I like how "to the point" these short snappy vids are, some more in depth vids would be very appreciated!

Absolutely, I'm planning on doing longer form content in the near future, I just need to find the right cadence and structure for that type of video.

wish you made some longer form tutorials

I think it’s easy to implement the principle on a cube or ball, but much harder with a character because anticipation in one muscle group should affect other groups. I just finished a short film with human characters and I realize my animation is the weakest part, but I’d love for people to check it out and let me know what they think ❤

Okay!!!

This is really helpful, thank you! And if I may ask, how did you make the render look like that? With the textures and what looked like a filter? It’s really neat.

@@Smeaf Oh I guess you're probably still trying to reach that 4000 watch hours, because it looks like you have the subscribers. I would probably recommend making a couple of good long form content that people spend dozens of minutes watching on average. I've started to enjoy watching people just make something or speed modeling on Blender so that I can learn even more. You could even do a room setup as well as a Blender preferences setup that can run up the time. Is your SkillShare course out yet? I wanted to reach out to you though because I like your clay influence on some of your videos! I'm going to be making a large set of VR multiplayer mini games with a clay art style that is cool and interesting for my KZread channel while always being family friendly like my mini games.

How did you created those wiggling strokes? anyways Very engaging tutorial

don't forget recoil.

only explanation of how to do is *shapekeys are used* text wtf is shapekey

*i!

Hey, I thought this technique was only allowed when animating a sack of potatoes.

0:55 "there's only 3 keyframes in this animation" Maybe in the MOVEMENT, but you've squash and stretched this as well, which was not talked about at all THAT is what sells the anticipation/movement in this footage. IMO, The way you phrased this is a bit disingenuious.
