  • You can't have a nice jam, or else you can't hear what the character says for each frame 😭
    Check out the finished animation!

    This reminds me just how hard it is to animate talkie scenes as you can't listen to music. No animator should be without their music!

  • @don_donimoes
    @don_donimoes Před rokem +18

    I do that, especially on the dialogue animations I try, but I end up putting lo-fi lowered down as a way to clear headspace, that and I won’t get annoyed by listening to the same thing over and over… which is funny cuz I end up doing that when making music lol

  • @ThatGrayCartoonPony
    @ThatGrayCartoonPony Před rokem +2

    As a professional animator, this is extremely relatable (especially with the well organized prSelect and with the keys every 2-3 frames).
    Only difference for the body-mecha is that I would usually use some calm music like fusion jazz when working at a steady pace, and whenever rushing for a deadline with a last minute note I would put either Devil Trigger or Magic Spear 1.

    I'm not sure the average person truly understands just how deep the audio of every animation with dialogue is burned into its animator's brain for this exact reason

  • @cdg670
    @cdg670 Před rokem +3

    I like how for the dialogues part, there's an exaggerated fan sfx in the background implying how, without music, the work requirea you to listen very carefully to the sounds and can get so tedious and monotonous that, in some point, you can hear even the slightest of changes of the sounds of your surroundings. It also implies that you might be working quite late at night. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for your hardwork; your animations are incredible!

    From the thumbnail, I thought this was going to be a long, tutorial-like video, merely featuring your mascot in a few different poses.
    And so, I clicked on it, _only_ because the character looks so good that I was going to watch even that - despite not being interested in art tutorials.
    I'm glad I was wrong and it turned out to be actual animation of course. But it speaks volumes that I would have been willing to watch a few minutes of video just to see like 4 different pngs.
    Your artstyle is fucking incredible

    I usually just animate the facial expressions and lip syncing first, then do body animations, sectioning out the animation in ways to make it more "organized" I guess you could call it. I have tried animating everything at once, but I would forget some things in doing so. Also animating the face and lip sync first gives me a better idea as to how to animate the body to match the emotion or convey the message, then again, I don't use story boards, I just make it up as I go, and whenever I do have a "story board" it's all in my head as making story boards physically would take all my energy and demotivate me from animating it because I technically already created it, thus getting it out of my head, no longer feeling the need to do it anymore.
