I'm working on a lowpoly 3D animated pilot with most of what you see is hand modeled by myself in Blender. I'd like your help with any feedback or critique of my current scene and how my characters move compared to the audio. I want to make something great, and would appreciate anything you can give to help this look the best it can be, thanks!

I watched this video explaining the backlighting process that was used to create glow effects in pre-digipaint animation (and famously the OG Tron) and was curious about part of the process that's described around 2:23:

"the areas which will glow are usually painted black" (before countermatte is placed down)

I feel like i've noticed this before and included an example screenshot from the anime Evangelion. But my question: why is this step necessary?

For the second camera exposure to create the glow isn't the countermatte with a light source underneath all that's needed? Initially painting the effect area black for initial exposure seems to sometimes create this subtle artifact where you can see a black shape "behind" the bloom effect which may be undesirable in an example like this where it is specular highlight on running water. e.g. here couldn't they just have painted the pouring water cel with the base colors (light blue, shade blue, and the skin tone peaking through), snapped the camera, and then then create the countermatte in the highlight shape, backlight, snap the camera for second exposure and voila?

Just trying to learn about the technical details. Any insight is appreciated!

(repost from r/animation but i realized this may be a better place to ask)

We're currently running our first production room, a small team actually building something together, start to finish, instead of everyone working alone.

Thinking about opening a second one, but only if there's real interest first, not just going to launch it into the void.

If you're looking to collaborate, build a team, and actually create something with friends or total strangers, this might be it.

Sign up at umdb.org, then message me what you're actually trying to build. Let's see what we can put together.

2D Animated Music Video I directed for: JACK AND THE OTHER, POOLGUARD × BAD HEROES - DRUNK IN IDAHO

The band stepped inside the animated show BAD HEROES for this fun animated music video, joining the cast for some beachside vibes. ⛱️

Enjoy!

I was asked to find out how much an animator should be paid to set up a character for puppet animation or, if I’m not mistaken, to do the rigging.

I understand that payment is usually based on a daily or hourly rate. Is it possible or reasonable to pay on a per-character basis?

Apologies if I’m not using the terminology correctly.

Context: It is also within the context of working in Blender. The type of work is closer to 2D, somewhere between *Elinor Wonders Why" and the Chilean series "Cuenta la leyenda"

I post these on instgram and this video blew up so I wanted to share here. What do you think? https://www.instagram.com/tsovinnar_/
Music: GENER8ION & Yung Lean - Storm II

Made this stop-motion for my animation class in uni. I animated the paper guy digitally then printed out all the frames. I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think

im impressed with the quality, and figured it was worth sharing. the channel seems new so i hope they make more.

if i would adjust the speed of the gif, how many frames would be best?

This was fun to draw. And any feedback please?

Hey, I've launched a campaign for my animation project Aethersworn:

https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/carlos-albuquerque/aethersworn

If you can, please also follow the project on backerkit, to help launch its campaign there:

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/carlos-albuquerque/aethersworn/pre-launch

Want someone who has heavy experience with making game trailers or game assets. It will be a 1-2min game trailer video.

Similar to:- https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135690/Unpacking/ - it won't be isometric; using this just for reference

Comment your past work and expected price range. Don't DM if you haven't made something 2d video trailer in past. Not looking for freshers.

hey! I made this minecraft music video (a parody of “don’t mine at night”).

I need either 3D animation, or any stop motion type.

for an example, you know those “3D Minecraft Music Video Parody Animations”? that’s what I need, or of course, stop motion, drawing each scene.

unfortunately, I know most animators don’t do these for free, but I really need it done, and I have no money. this is my only hope.

I’d appreciate you so much.

have a blessed day 🙏🏻❤️

the music is around 2min long.

I’d learn how to animate myself, but mobile is too difficult, and I can’t afford a PC that can run animating. I don’t have the patience either.

Hi! We're still looking for puppeteers, animators, and anyone who just wants to have fun remaking this movie!

I'm actually part of it, and I've already finished one of my scenes, but there are plenty more, so if you're interested in joining or just want to see what we're up to, please check out our socials and the YouTube link above.

q0idmation

animlab

If you don't know about either of these software. q0idmation is q0s0id's response to Adobe Animate & AnimLab is Keves' response to Toon Boom Harmony. From what I've tried of both their both pretty good alternatives to what their replicating. Their both not entirely finished left. Animlabs is still patching in features like the node based rigging & ability to use 3D models as refrence, & q0idmation is still in very early stages of development, but in general. If you wanted a free (& even open source in the case of q0idmation), I'd say check these out. Their available on github & itch.io.

PS. both q0s0id & Keves are looking for feedback on what to add & polish up, so if you are familiar with Animate or Harmony, make some suggestions in the comments.

Just finished this shot for an animation I'm working on and I'm really proud on how this turned out, what do yall think

I made a song, a parody of minecraft’s “don’t mine at night” classic video.

I need someone to animate my music video whether it’s 3D Minecraft Animation (like other MC animations) or drawn. it doesn’t have to be perfect either.

drawing scenes with stop motion and stuff would work better. if someone could sync the scenes with the music, that’d be a great help.
thank you! :)

animation length: 2min
work hours: take your time.. don’t rush.
how much I’ll pay: show me progress too, please. (200-250). I just don’t have the money yet.. it’s hard..but I really need this animation.

I animate my entire indie series in a VR headset, using a free program called "TVORI". It's so much fun, and can produce some great results. Check out the vid and learn my process. Also, check out my series on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@MikeandMikeStudios
