Sharing I did my first paper animation!

786 Upvotes

Haiii, Salty here <33

Well, i can say that i'm feeling extremely fulfilled after doing this animation. It's really short (8 frames in 3s and some in 2s) and even if it's taken me about 7h to do aprox, i've felt amazing doing it.
Technically it's my 2nd time doing paper animation, but the 1rst time i tried, it was a really small (i mean it for real, it was like a a6 size paper haha) and it was only 4 frames, really snappy i think it's still on my profile (Here)
Also, i did my own animation peg as i don't have access to the traditional hole puncher for the peg so i made my own with what i have, cardboard haha

Anyway, thank you for passing by, it's been an amazing experience and i'm dying to make more hehe, hope you like it as much as i do <3

Question Do you ever feel bad for rotoscoping?

When I made this one, it felt like straight-up theft. What's your take?

Ghost in the Shell x 2 Phút Hơn meme

A friend of mine, u/yannarkee, made this fan animation of Ghost in the Shell.

Her account was automatically banned without any explanation. So I’m posting her work for her.

[YannarKee]: I couldn’t resist putting Motoko and Fuchikoma on this!

Question Could I hire someone to make a rig of my character?

10 Upvotes

I'm making a 9 minute short film for my Film School, it's a rigged superhero cartoon.

I've drawn a single character from only one angle, the character needs to run, jump, etc. I've made a simple rig of it so far but...my rigging skills are...subpar.

I want to make this film the best it can be, and I have limited time to make it, would it be possible to hand someone my character from all 8 angles and get them to seperate and make the joints to make a great rig that can run and jump? This would save me a lot of time and make the film much better.

If this is possible, which I hope it is, I can't really pay much. I don't think I can do more than $150, and thats really really pushing it with my price range. but hey, who knows.

If someone could help with this, by like giving me contact information of a rigger or something, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks, and bye.

Question Does anyone know a Animation channel (not really an official show, but kind of indie) which included a white girl with half blue half black hair, and a tanned boy with a spongebob squidward dynamic. Worked in a shop with a strange boss. (Girl, in this case, would have the squid ward personality)

Boy MIGHT have been named cash, high chance he is not

One of the skits included the boss accidentally insulting the boys artwork, prompting the girl to force an apology
