So I'm well aware that making memes or parodies or using some kind of third party media that's popular in your animations will be infinitely more popular than something original... But if you had something original, how do you guys go about promoting it? Do you just spam forums like reddit/tumblr/4chan?

Depends on whether the thing that is original is likable or not. If the work is bad, spamming on sites and spreading it about the web won't do a great deal of help. It also depends on what you content history is. If you have somewhat of a following from previous work, then this may help.

either gain a following by making your take on something popular and upload your project then or try your luck.

In the process of making a show. I need those sweet sweet ideas.

Brainstorm with me. It's s romantic comedy about a group a friends. The two main characters are romantically interested in each other but they started a contest of who can sleep with the most people instead of telling each other how they feel.

That's the concept, any ideas to add to that.

Great rhythm, good for a blocking pass. Reminds me of oldschool stop motion. Watch out for floaty/stiff limbs with IK controllers (recomment sticking with FK arms when not leaning on or touching something). work on getting more antics into your animation. they'll make the movement more readable to the audience and add weight n fluidity.

there's a pretty long pause between when the batter gets ready and the ball appears.
Although as far as i can tell you most likely did the anticipation for the first ball before keyframing anything that happens after.

Best thing that you can learn from this is to never start inbetweening if you haven't finished your keyframes. Try to get a clear idea of the timing before doing anything else if you want to make sure that you don't have to spend extra time redoing shit.

also try to arc the movement into a curved line so it can convey some force and weight, quickly drawn example for it

What >>3338493 said, action maybe happens to fast. If he could pick up the sword all the way above to his head so you prepare the audience to what's comming. You show him lifting it only to his chest heigh, so you can't see him getting enough impulse to cut an arm.

Also he's taking an horizontal impulse and doing a vertical cut, that doesn't really make too much sense.

The production quality in this one is pretty insane anon! I really dig the style and the jokes are pretty good too.
But given the fact that you worked on it for 1,5 years is excpected since alot of scene had smooth animation, but id recomend on your next animation to save up your time and effort on the scenes that matter more. In this example was it really necessary to animate all 3 character crying at the same time at once when the boy from the orphanage was telling them his story. The frame of that shot had all of them together with each in his own unique way of crying. Tehnically it looked good but from a storytelling perspective it just makes it hard for our eyes to decide which character to focus on.
I really liked the jokes but some felt like you dragged them for a way to long time. For instance the singing was funny, but at the end it felt too outstretched. Maybe that was your goal, but thats how i reacted to it.
Really good stuff overall, reminds me a bit of SuperJail! Anyway keep up the good work anon, youre going places!

Yeah, I definitely could have saved some time on the lesser important details. For example, the shot in the orphanage when it zooms out and you get a look at all the orphans, and each one is doing their own little activity and motion, that took like a week. That's a good point about the three people crying, how you don't know what to focus on because each character is moving uniquely in such a short span of time.

Pen display tablets feel more natural to use when you're animating, at least for me. Especially when you're doing inbetweens and you want to quit pressing CTRL-Z so often, knowing exactly where the tip of your pen is relative to where the cursor is displayed on screen is a reason to invest in a pen display tablet already. It gets rid of that "guessing" feel you get when you're using a little Wacom drawpad thing.
I bought a Huion GT-190 off Amazon a few months back and it's been doing pretty great for some hand drawn stuff in Adobe Flash CS6. There's tablet issues every once in a while and restarting the software usually fixes it for me. It's actually quite a big screen, but the viewing angles are kinda ass-y. If you're more animation-centric and got your colour refs for your shot, then it's fine. Though I wouldn't use this thing for painting with how the screen's viewing angles are. My sister owns a Gaomon and it's colours and viewing angles are pretty nice, but the screen is tiny as fuck. The drivers don't even work in half of the art software she uses in the first place.
Huion are worth their money. Mid-tier tablets that act as cheap Cintiq clones. If you're like me, and you animate with one hand on the keyboard and the other on the tablet, then the absence of hotkey buttons shouldn't even matter.
>>3344504
I'd say while you're learning how to animate, start to pick up on drawing more. Drawing and animating are hand in hand, and when you sacrifice one for the other, it really shows in the result. Puppet animation is very limiting and simply building the rig in itself is an amazing feat. You probably wouldn't even want to animate the rig after you've spent a good couple weeks making all the assets for it. Hand drawn's only limitation is the artist's ability. Without any ability, you'll go fucking no where and get stuck. Don't get stuck, study art, and hop into animation later.

I guess you are right. I've noticed there are 2 types of animators. Ones who's goal is comedy/writing and the animation is just there to convey the joke and the other type who's goal is high quality animation and the writing doesn't matter so much.

>>3345155
Yeah, obviously the goal is to both be able to tell a compelling story and have high quality animation, but I guess most animators tend to prioritize one aspect of it over the other and it's usually the quality of the animation that comes first.

I'm finding it hard trying to get out of my comfort zone, there are a lot of animation techniques I haven't even attempted yet and as a result I think it makes my animations really stilted at times. I wish there was a way to get the best of both worlds but I can see why a lot artists have a separate writer for their projects, it just takes too much time to be competent at both.

better than the pixel shit by a longshot, but feels like it's lacking direction. might be because you're animating it either straight ahead, but it does feel like shit is happening for no reason here. the lack of direction also equates to the lack of anticipation, which gives the entire animation a "made by a robot" kind of vibe. storyboard it first, do a rough animatic, then do all of the flashy effects my dude. having a proper pipeline makes proper work, and you'll gain a system you could follow when animating things you see in your head. don't rush into the work straight from your head, ease into it and refine it along the way.

In Krita is there a way to lay an opaque copy of a keyframe over the keyframe your currently working on? I tried it with layers and it fucks up the previous keyframes if you do that, so far it seems like you really have to go off of memory which makes the later keyframes really fucked up for me, since I don't have a proper reference for where everything was in the previous keyframe without clicking back and forth between frames properly.

The sword is attached to a mechanism strapped behind her back. Don't put too much thought on it. I guess you can easily dislodge the sword from the mechanism if you pull the sword upwards.

What are you guys' thoughts on tweens? Do you find them inherently lazy? Do you think they can be done well with enough effort?
I want to do a project with tweened animation but not lazily done where all the characters are standing at that 3/4 angle view. Wondering if it'd be more or less effort.
I think Wakfu/Dofus is a good example of tweens done well but I know there's a serious stigma towards the technique because of shit like Johnny Test.

depends on the shot, if you are going to spend that much time and effort making it look good you might aswell just do it by hand.

Kinda too varied a question. It's all just some form of easing depending on objects weight/acceleration/deacceleration.

You can just block out the keyframes and time them and see if that works with only 1-3 frames total, and actually inbetween.
