The Trickiest Animation Principle, Simplified
Published 2022-05-22
Welcome to Animation for Anyone. In our third class I take you through different ways to think about spacing in animation. I get a bit sciencey too!

A note on software:
We don't touch on software in this class because I believe there are already lots of great tutorials out there but if you're interested in low cost options to get started there are a few that come to mind- Blender is a free 3D package and includes a "Grease Pencil" mode if you're interested in learning 2D animation. Procreate on IOS is inexpensive and has new animation features (simply turn on Animation Assist in the canvas menu). Adobe Creative Cloud suite is certainly not "low cost" but some of you may have access to it for other uses. If that is the case Photoshop and Animate CC both offer powerful animation tools and will be included in your Creative Cloud Membership. I have an in depth, but quite old tutorial for using Photoshop as animation tool here vimeo.com/80851591

I studied animation in college and struggled a lot. These videos have somehow filled in a lot of the gaps that I feel like I missed and are genuinely making me excited to start animating again. Thank you for this!

This series is brilliant, Alex. Massive amounts of information so clearly conveyed in such a concise and entertaining manner. You’re putting a tremendous amount of time and effort into these and I hope you’re rewarded as much as the viewer!

These are the best animation lessons on YouTube. Please keep it up

Finally, an animation tutorial that isn't advertising the animation program

THE ANIMATION QUALITY!!! Even in its simplicity.....is splendid!

I know this is video on animation, but it was also an amazing example of science communication, when explaining the physics behind motion, you made sure you did not use any physics jargon, nor any complicated maths to demonstrate Newtons laws of motion. This has really inspired me to take the medium of animation to communicate other topics in physics. You are a legend! 👍
-
This is mind blowing to me. Your execution, the script, the editing and just the overall content is amazing. It takes me around 3 weeks to make a two minute video and that’s with cutting corners. This must have taken you months to make! Keep it up! You will be at 100k subs next year. 🎉
