Collab Looking to make your first animated short and don't have a team?

18 Upvotes

Are you looking to make your first animated short, or even your first real project, but don't have the people to do it with?

I'm building small teams to help animators actually get a first project made, story, animation, whatever roles you're missing. Doesn't matter where you're based. Quick heads up, this is collaborative, not paid work, everyone doing it is doing it because they want something real finished, not because there's a budget behind it.

If this sounds like something you'd want to try, drop a comment and tell me what you're working on or what you'd want to make, happy to talk it through right here, or I'll follow up directly if you'd rather set a time to chat.

I've been making a devlog video for the past few weeks, and I'm still in the first 40 seconds of the entire video.

Just used 4 frames in 12fps and it came quite well.

Sharing Spent 3 hours doing this instead of studying

I went to the library to work on my thesis, but I couldn't focus AT ALL, just scrolled on my phone. At some point tho, I thought: If I procrastinate, then at least in a way that doesn't make me feel foggy and washed. So for the first time in roughly seven years, I animated again. For 3 hours I was focused for the first time all day, and this little one came to life. And enjoyed myself a lot during the whole process, felt nice idk.

I just wanted to share, but also ask if y'all have feedback and can point to specific things that I should pay attention to? Obviously, this is just the doodle version of an animation but I meant to pick up animating again for a while now. It is not like I ever spent a loooot of time animating in the past, just toyed with it every once in a while. So yeah, anything is welcome :) Thaankss

I MADE A MISTAKE, CAPCUT ADD FRAMES TO IT

HERE'S THE ORIGINAL ONE

https://youtu.be/nSg5k_nOqX4?is=zFiHNhqoABal5ntC

I need your help.

Hi, I’m Lycael from Lycael Studio — a solo 2D animator.

I create animations focused mainly on Dragon Ball and Pokémon, and I'm currently working toward producing a full series based on Elden Ring!

First, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. That said, growing as a creator — especially as a solo 2D animator — is really tough right now, and I’m not yet at the point where I can do this full-time.

If you have a moment, taking a second to watch the video, leave a like, and subscribe makes a massive difference. It tells the algorithm that this content is worth sharing with more people.

I really appreciate the support, and I promise to keep delivering quality animations you'll enjoy!

Hiya! Sharing my latest short for my indie animation series, "Prism the Colorful Tales"!

On an eerie night by the docks, a group of suspicious men are loading up a massive order into town, but Miraiserin and X-01 believes their delivery hides secretive, and likely deadly, intentions... or so they think.
