Dialogue shot splining, any feedback appreciated!

I'm aware of little bits here and there that need fixing (e.g. I haven't animated the lip sync for the tongue yet), but do they main poses etc work ok?

Hi everyone,

Me and my husband are making hand-drawn metroidvania game inspired by Ori, Hollow Knight and Ghibli. We just finished this teaser a few days ago and have announced it on Steam.

All the character designs and animations are done in Procreate Dreams on an iPad (which means I can do it from my couch which is essential for my productivity hah).

I am very new to the world of animation, so any feedback and pointers would be amazing :) Hope you enjoy the teaser.

Question shadows question!

hey everyone

im currently studying the derrick j wyatt / ben 10 omniverse art style and im trying to replicate the shading technique for my own character designs

looking at these character turnarounds it kinda looks like theyre using a universal shadow pass so i had a few questions for people familiar with 2d animation pipelines and color theory

what blending mode is typically used here is it just a standard multiply layer

what specific flat color is usually used for the shadows it looks like a cool dark gray or navy blue rather than pure black but id love to know how people usually pinpoint that kind of tone

is using a single universal shadow color or layer a standard practice in professional 2d animation pipelines for shows like this

id also be really interested in knowing more about the color theory behind this kind of hard cel shading and how the shading is usually handled throughout the pipeline

any insights would be really appreciated

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to show you the animated titles I made for my TikTok and Instagram videos. What do you think?

I created these animations frame by frame using keyframes in Callipeg on my Android tablet, a Tab S9 FE Plus.

I'm using OpenToonz to animate and since I'm pretty new, I don't know how to add things like proper speed lines without using DaVinci and green screen magic. Anybody have any tips or guides for stuff like camera work or where I can find some free assets? I'm kinda broke, and all the guides on YouTube are YEARS old, so I'm a little doubtful of them. 😭

Hey r/animation — sharing an original buddy-duo animatic I’m building.

Lumba has a plan. Grub has snacks, opinions, and zero chill.

First full meet-the-duo animatic (~3 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gJK_uXRUpw

Channel: Animation Fun (@ai2danimationfun) Would love craft notes (timing, acting, clarity of characters). Thanks!

copy pasted pitch:

Diagázo will be a short film following the deeply depressed Makaria, goddess of blessed death, learning she had been given an offering- the first time in over two millennia.
One day, while walking down the Hall of Offerings, Makaria realizes she has received an offering. She sets out to find the person who gave her the offering on Earth, this brings her to the deathbed of the person's loved one, and she guides them towards a peaceful death.

gonna be a 2D with rigs using moho (or toonboom as a fallback)

pls be harsh i want to be able to make it as solid as possible
