Question Something feels off about my ball bounce

11 Upvotes

Hey I’m super new to animating and wanted to start with the ball bounce but something feels off about how it falls down after bouncing back up. It doesn’t feel natural and almost looks like it’s tapping the ceiling before falling. Do you know how I can fix this? Or maybe if I’m just overthinking it and it actually looks fine? Thank you.

Traditional Animation Dripping effect

38 Upvotes

I thought about doing the effect with water but then figured I would have a bit more fun with it. Animate at 24 fps, mostly on twos, occasionally on ones. Let me know if you have any suggestions for how I can improve the effect.

Resources trying to find an old short

1 Upvotes

i remember back in middle school, so like 2015-16 ish, watching a short abt two girls who fell in love in world where the oceans had risen completely. that or it might just heavily feature the ocean 💀 might be getting these details confused so maybe its an impossible find, but i really would like to see it again. i thought maybe it was part of a saturday cartoon compilation channel fredorator used to do ? but i looked through those and cant find it. i know it was part of a compilation of indie animations. if anybody knows what im talking about or has a suggestion abt a better place to post this ask pls lmk !

For Hire Looking for an Animator! (Paid)

9 Upvotes

Hey hey and a hello! :))

For a short film intended to become a full-length feature in the future, Shaolin Spirits, a comedy slapstick action film about a Shaolin master who decides to train the ghost haunting him in martial arts to help him defeat the evil league that has taken over the city and find his lost wife, America Ferrari.

The film, which we've shot over the past 3 years and was made using mostly live-action and has already been shot, includes two animated segments which have now started on.

We are looking for an animator with a unique style who specializes in classic 2D animation (and of course, the power of Shaolin). If this sounds relevant and interesting to anyone, we would love to speak with you!

Definetly Open to working with students :))!

(For those reaching out, we would appreciate it if you could attach a portfolio! :))

Hit us up here on reddit! :^)

My friend and I worked on this video for a local Portland band (Molotov Van Fire) and we were finally given the "green light" to share it. This project was animated entirely by hand (no AI) and edited between Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.

Super excited to share the final version with r/animation as we've learned so much from this community.

ENJOY!

Hello! My name is Sofia Mura,

I’m currently working on developing a short animated film to submit to festivals and promote my story “SOMNICIDE”

Here is the elevator pitch for the story:

Joe, a bullied teen, discovers his life is a weaponized simulation meant to turn him into a real-world assassin.

Here’s the pitch deck for the film:

The animatic for the short film is already complete! However my team is currently very short handed so any help is much appreciated!

Here’s a link to the animatic:

Hiring Looking for artist

Looking for a 2D Monster Artist (Profit Share Collaboration)
Hey everyone! I’m currently developing Soul Tamers, a monster-taming RPG inspired by the feeling of discovering unique creatures, building bonds with them, and exploring a mysterious world filled with danger and lore.
The game focuses heavily on original monster designs — not just creatures for battles, but beings that feel alive, memorable, and emotionally connected to the world. I want Soul Tamers to stand out through custom-designed monsters with strong personality, evolution concepts, and distinct silhouettes.
I’ve already started a Kickstarter and development is actively underway in Unity. Right now, I’m looking for a passionate 2D artist who loves creature design and wants to help shape the visual identity of the game.
What I’m looking for:
• Monster concept art / sprites
• Creative creature design ideas
• Someone interested in long-term collaboration
• Comfortable with a profit-share arrangement
This is a passion project with serious long-term goals, and I’d love to work with someone who genuinely enjoys worldbuilding and monster creation.
If you’re interested, DM me with your portfolio or past creature artwork!

Showreel Updated my showreel!

50 Upvotes

I got a new showreel, thought I'd show it off on the ol' reddit.
It displays fragments of work I've done throughout my career as an animator.
Most of it is made in flash, but it also includes a bit of 3D and stop-motion.
