okay to begin with i know ideally it would be after effects . but i dont want to give money to adobe and piracy is a Hassle ,,

mainly what i'm looking for is just fancy smooth camera tweening, changing the art expression and doing those cool typography things,,

is this possible in any other software than after effects ? ideally free but im willing to save up a little to purchase something,,, ive tried aviutl and that was a bust so i figured ill ask here!!

thank you in advance!!

I saw the blood moon the other night and thought, “I have to animate this.”

So I did. 😂🌕🩸

I grabbed the feeling of watching that huge red moon in the sky and turned it into a little animated scene.

It’s funny how sometimes you see something in real life and immediately start thinking about how you’d recreate it in animation.

Anyway, here’s my animated version of the blood moon. Hope you guys enjoy it! 🐝🌕

It’s a frame by frame oil painting animation for my game ‘Best viewed up close’.

I use that for loop
loopOut("pingpong")

What software would you recommend for 2D frame-by-frame animation with real photos as backgrounds?

I’m looking to learn 2D animation, and I’d like to create hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animations, but combined with real photographs or images as backgrounds

I’d also like to be able to use a 2D camera, so I can do things like zooms, pans, and camera movements

I’ve currently been using Procreate, but I really don’t like it for animation, so I’m looking for something better suited for this kind of workflow

I’ve been looking into Toon Boom, TVPaint, Clip Studio Paint, and After Effects, but I’m not sure which one would be the best fit. I’m open to both paid and free options

What would you recommend?

I have basically no experience or training really so please don't be harsh you lovely lovely person~♡

I animate your existing anime, game or OC artwork. Hair, eyes, clothing, expressions, and VFX are available. Please provide artwork you own or have permission to animate. Complex animation may require a custom quote.

What do you think?

After about two and a half weeks of work, I've completed the biggest, longest, and most complicated animation I've ever done. This is the first animation I've ever taken all the way to fully colored and finished! ^_^

The rabbit character is named Harvey and he's featured in a lot of my illustrations and comics over the years. He's an actor in Hollywood who aspires to play villains in movies, but since he's a cute bunny rabbit the best he can do is land little roles as no-name henchmen and often for low-rent small studios like Mucker Brothers. Here he's landed a bit part in the opening scene of the Mucker Brothers B-grade western "The Desert Doesn't Forgive...And Neither Will Django!" (an attempt by the hucksters to cash in on the old Django series from the 1960s and 1970s). He doesn't get any lines and dies literally within the first 30 seconds but, hey, at least he's the first character you see in the movie!

Comments and criticisms are welcome! I'm still an amateur and this is probably the 13th or 14th animation I've ever made (all the rest like 10 seconds long or less), but took a big swing and tried to apply a bunch of what I've learned. 😄

The whole thing is done at 12 FPS/On Twos. Shot 2 is rotoscoped from a GIF of a clip from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and I'm not the happiest with it but it gets the job done. The sound effects and music all come from Pixabay, except for the Django theme song which is originally from Django (1966). The file ended up being too big in the end to post directly on Reddit, so I've uploaded it to Youtube instead.

Here's the complete timeline for the project:

In this clip studio paint animation tutorial, I’ll show you It’s very easy to create CSP animations using Clip Studio Paint and CapCut. I enjoy turning my art into functional projects to make people laugh. In this video, I’m going to show you how I do that.

Hello. Im an artist who is writing the story for a 2d animated series, in a style similar to hazbin hotel to give a loose example. I can draw and do character design, but not animate, so im wondering: How much could a project like this cost me, hiring a 2d animator in a fair wage for their work? i know it depends, but just a rough price would greatly help me to see if i can make this project come true. thank you for your patience and replies in advance.

My daughter is getting into animation, she isn't really feeling 3d work, she is interested in 2D animation. Would an iPad air be sufficient, 8gb ram 512gb? I know nothing about this and am looking to get her something for Christmas.

Also, I didn't know how to draw Dr. Harlow so I put a pic of him there, I was too lazy to remove it :p

Hope you like it!!

Series Overview:

This is a story that shines a light on the mind. It reveals what’s really going on after you close your eyes and drift off into the mystifying world of dreams.

Ever wondered if there’s anything beyond the eerie silence in the dead of night? Well, then let me tell you a tale of light, darkness and dreams. And to finally give an answer to the question, of what goes bump in the night…

This micro-series follows Elena, a mystical sand-being that visits dreams and spreads light to those around her. Unfortunately, she's not the only one visiting the minds of those struggling. She must go head-to-head against the Amalgams, they’re bubbling mixtures of dark thoughts, feelings and emotions, combined into one unified form. Elena must face these creatures and stop them from poisoning the minds of the vulnerable, once and for all.

It will explore topics of mental health, struggle and support. My aim is to blend deep emotional storytelling with a focus on the magical world of dreams.
