5 ways to animate FASTER

6. Draw super fast

Animators who take way too long on their animations rise up! Edit: we should start a club or smth

0:12 THIS!!! ☝ Not only video references are essential for truly visualizing body mechanics (which is impossible to properly invent without years of experience), but it's also a tremendous time saver when it comes to brainstorming since in-character acting or improv is an amazing source of inspiration for how a character should move in a shot (trying to figure this stuff out while animating is not only lengthy but can also lead to inconsistent/awkward/faked results). One of our supervisors on feature films REQUIRED us to gather/record references before animating. And for people who think it's cheating, then let me tell you, EVERYONE cheats in the industry (Disney, Dreamworks, Illum, Fortiche...).

having adhd makes it rlly difficult to stay on the one task. i have to constantly change tasks other wise i get rlly bored

i've learned over time that, as an indie animator, and being the only person working on my animated series, it is better to actually get something out, rather than waste time trying to perfect every little thing. so, my animation is choppy, my lines aren't polished, and my characters go off model. but i also have produced 3 episodes so far, it usually takes about a month to make each episode, and i'm about halfway finished animating the fourth episode. so, my advice? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT!! also, smear frames. utilize them whenever possible :D

I really appreciate how snappy this video is, as someone who struggles to watch longer informational videos cause I struggle to sit through 10+ minute vidoes for art help <3

a lot of youtubers waist peoples time by drawing out things that don't need to be, but you got strait to the point with it and I can really admire you for that.

I started dipping my toes into animation for fun lately while I prepare my portfolio in character design. I’m already getting a ton of use from each video, thank you!

you following that curve at that end was satisfying

YouTube KNEW I'm animating for the first time in months 😂

This is gonna be SERIOUSLY HELPFUL when it comes to making our new animated series - thank you so much for making this

Hello :) I consider myself a beginner animator and this video was helpful. I've done other animations in the past but I gave up for a while on it, and now I'm restarting at animating. I searched 'How to animate faster'(Because I don't want to take longer than 2 months if possible 😅) and found your video! It has very helpful tips and I learned a couple of tips :D(especially the pen stabilizer lol I'm a noob🤣). I'm almost done with one animation but will be sure to use these tips on my next one :P In the near future I'm interested in creating digital art, so will be sure to check out your other videos :) Thank you, I'm a new subscriber ^_^
