Timing is an essential tool in the animator's toolkit, which this shot displays masterfully. With a brief hold on the character's motion, the ribbon's movement slowly builds up more and more until the screen is engulfed by the sudden THUNK of the droid's body.

Love this adorable shot from Luke Lee! It uses classic animation principles to give such a contrast between the two characters that carries the rest of the short . . .

I'm aghast at the consistency and fluidity of the movement in this animation from the late 1930s. They didn't have any automatic inbetweening tools to make the animation "smooth" 😖. No AI to cheat.
These shots are truly a human-made work of art!
At first glance, the rhythm to this animation seems simple, but the closer you look the more complexities you see! Even with an "on the beat" movement like dance, having imperfections and variety can add interest and prevent your animation feeling like a looped cycle.

Around 300 painted frames were created for this animated short film, one shot had over 1000 layers in Photoshop and Nuke!
Vincent Plante talks about their process painting frames for @AgoraStudio_ 's Transferable and their art background leading up to their work on the film.

There are a lot of stellar moments in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but this quiet moment with Peach is especially endearing.

Enjoying the Dynamic Fight Scene AnimChallenge so far? Here's a great action moment between two characters from Goodbye Lara from Kinema Citrus.
Check out how the framing/staging does a lot of the work in telling the scene's story and showing the dynamic/power difference between the characters.

Enjoying the Dynamic Fight Scene AnimChallenge so far? Here's a great action moment between two characters in Production I.G's The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope, that felt very fitting for the challenge.
Watch how the direction the force is moving influences the character movement, balance, and mechanics . . .

Why does the *Spider-Verse* style work so well?? 🤔

🎤 Effects Animation is a very different realm than character animation. Our very own in-house effects artist Vincent Fortin shares some insight on what goes into creating such mesmerizing simulations!

When you split the body into sections, treat each one like a bouncing ball and play with the relationship between them, you can get really dynamic action.

This shot from Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky is an excellent example of weight mechanics in animation. When the mechanics make sense from a physics perspective, the motion itself is believable.

Amazed at this short from That Gray Cartoon Pony! The secondary character (interviewer) never shows his face in the short, but there is just enough acting and pantomime in his hands that we can clearly read his emotions.
Plus some other fun details!

This is part of a new series called “People Not Characters”.
📝 When animating, it can be easy to get caught up in the mechanics of the movement, and while that is *INCREDIBLY* important, don’t forget to show the HUMANITY in your animation.
👉 Animate PEOPLE, not characters 👈

Here's a lovely shot from Glitch's Gaslight District!
LOVE the staging and colors! The high contrast, especially in the glowing eyes, makes this one of the most memorable shots in the episode.

It's a quick shot but there's lots of good details to notice in this clip from the intro fight scene of Gameoverse by Glitch.

Some fun examples of the classic principles in a few VERY quick shots from the (somewhat) recent Hexed trailer.

Love the opposing directions and multiple anticipations. The movement is so clear and intentionally crafted, the acting is easy to follow, the staging is phenomenal! (see previous breakdown), and there's still so much more I didn't point out in this video, see for yourself!
Don't sleep on Iron Circus's Lackadaisy! Looking forward to the second episode :D

Here's a great example from Glitch's Gaslight District of animating with clarity during fast-paced action scenes.
The animation reads clearly and intentionally with plenty of room for fun details, like the wiggly eye in the scope and the finger fumbling to load the weapon.
There's some great staging and eye tracking going on too!
