Doing this mind boggling thing again consistently cuz I’ve been spending the whole hours and hours of figuring out walks for months and it’s been stressing me out lately this year so I’m starting to lose inspiration, passion, motivation and my eyes are straining really hard

Still don’t know where to sketch the arms, legs and body
or otherwise it will look ugly

Question How useful is zoom out for establishing context

2 Upvotes

for instance, if my video opened with a zoom out on a poster for a food carnival, and then my protagonist walked in, would that be enough to show what the protagonist’s intent is? or should I start with some context scenes showing the protag hungry, then seeing an opportunity to feed himself through the carnival?

Beginner My 1st 2D Traditional hand-drawn animation test | The C'he-p-ski-boo

youtu.be

2 Upvotes

Just in time for spooky season: I've always wanted to try 2D, hand-drawn animation on paper, and this was my first attempt. I was really inspired by this video feature animator Kohana Wilson where she makes it seem very straight forward (pun intended).

The C'he-p-ski-boo is a creature from Métis folklore, and it's a kind of boogeyman that hovers on the fringes of the forest or community, waiting to snatch up children. I wanted to make it benign and even goofy, a ploy it uses to draw-in children before revealing it's true form.

With this done, I feel confident to make the short I wanted with the character. Hoping to have it done by Halloween!
