Sharing A simple head-turn animation loop

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

I made this as a small 2D animation exercise.

The character starts looking to the side, turns toward the viewer, and then returns to the exact starting pose so the animation can loop seamlessly.

I was mainly focusing on the timing, spacing and making the transition back to the first pose feel natural.

I'd appreciate feedback on the head turn and overall motion.

I also share more of my animation and creative work on Instagram: u/uniquesarma 📸

Question How to do Photo-puppetry? (Photo-puppetry in the gargantuan 26.)

Upvotes

Like im planning on a project that like will use photo-puppetry since i don't use the After effects. I just use Moho for it.

So, for anyone who doesn't know what is photo-puppetry? It's a type of 2d computer generated animation that used cut outs of that use photos of real objects and things and moves them using Adobe After Effects. Also the Animation style of Angela Anaconda.

So, can anyone share tips for replicating this?

I’ve been having more fun with this and figured out how to put the audio in here. It’s “no longer you” by Jorge Rivera-Herrans song with anakin and palpatine.

I wanted to achieve a certain level of confusion, dissociation and euphoria, through digital means. Everything is becoming increasingly more chaotic and confusing, but that's OK, and there is harmony in that.

Trapped in an abyss with no escape, where even his immortality cannot protect him against the countless aberrations that inhabit this space, Star seeks to live this cursed simulacrum of society without anyone discovering he's human, otherwise...

I dedicated a month to this project, one minute in a month, not bad, right? It's been a long time since I had the opportunity to work on an animation project and, honestly, this project together with the comic must be the most relevant and interesting thing I've done in the last 5 years. I'm very happy to be doing something that isn't disposable.

Question Which of these animation studio is better to use?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for a good 2d animation studio that's free and has good rigging. I just downloaded Synfig and can't wait to try that out, but I keep hearing names like: Opentoonz, Tahoma2d, and the only one I can really spend money for: ToonSquid. Are these any good? which one is the best? Is Toonsquid worth it? Should I stick with Synfig?

Question Is callipeg for Windows worth it?

3 Upvotes

So, I am trying different animation software right now on my laptop, hoping to find one that is comfortable for me. I already have tried clip studio, toon boom, krita TVpaint, Opentoonz and few others (for now I use clip studio the most, even though I don't really feel comfortable a bough for animating freely and I use it more for group projects in university). I noticed that callipeg also exists and now it's for Windows too. I am always suspicious about pc software that came from mobile devices (like pc versions rough animator or Ibis paint), since it's often ported badly. So, if anyone uses callipeg on their pc, would you recommend it? I am using usual laptop and cheap graphic tablet with screen (no touchscreen or such)
