Animation Practice/Demo
Added 2020-07-18 13:40:28 +0000 UTCHi, I haven't been active recently but I just wanted to say that I am not dead, I am just going through my anime training arc. Been practicing animation and learning the fundamentals of them. Animation is a lot harder than I anticipated so enjoy some things I've tried to do.
The first one is a study of i☆Ris' ドリムパレード, trying to deconstruct and figure out keyframes, breakdowns, extremes etc.
The second one is a little test animation and figuring out spacing and timing of frames. Currently I'm looking into studying some well known character animators such as Megumi Kouno. I still have a lot to learn but you guys are probably not really interested in this type of talk so I'll stop here.
I have so many ideas that I want to make reality, so stay tuned. Plus some side projects in the works. There are just not enough hours in the day.

"Follow through" - the best way to describe it would be this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OxphYV8W3E&vl=en What I'm suggesting here is how "follow through" affects the heads and limbs of two people that are conjoined. Two conjoined people with two separate minds can never truly anticipate each others' thoughts and actions, no matter how long they've known each other (they can get pretty damn close, though). If the left head were to turn their torso, the right head would perceive this as a sudden "jerk" into a direction that he/she did not anticipate. The resulting action would be that all parts of the body that are controlled exclusively by "Righty" would follow through with the movement that "Lefty" created. The concept doesn't need to be as exaggerated as presented in this video. These two in your key test can have a more rigid, realistic anatomy but still have follow through. Watch closely any video of conjoined twins and see how they move. Admittedly, I can't really tell if you already considered this in your key tests, since it's a tad too early to incorporate this technique (this tends to become more prominent in breakdowns and in-betweens, but some might be noticeable in the initial key frames). Does that help?

2020-07-26 04:58:05 +0000 UTCI think I get what you're saying, if by "follow through" you mean something like inertia or extremes. If I'm on the wrong path then could you elaborate further. I'm still learning all the terminology animators use.

2020-07-24 11:53:46 +0000 UTCDon't forget about "follow through", especially when you consider there are two people with two independent minds that can't always anticipate the others' movement when controlling their shared body. Let me know if you need me to elaborate further. :)
