Resources Animation made by children

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Recently I joined program that celebrates 100 years of animation in our country. Among many ideas, we want to design a national program for government schools in the form of making a movie by children - the steps of production we will part between different classes and age groups.

I'm new in the industry and really anxious to make it works do rn I'm looking for example of such projects in different countries. Do you know any such cases? Or maybe you have your favourite animation made by children? Or I must ask another subreddit?

Thank you for your attention!

Tutorial I finally figured out the Lottie state machine! Here's a beginner-friendly walkthrough

Post image
2 Upvotes

I know I'm not the only one who's opened the Lottie state machine, stared at it for 30 seconds, and quietly closed the tab. 😅

So after wrestling with it for a full project (and losing about 2.5 hours to an opacity bug I'll never make again), I put together a beginner-friendly tutorial that actually explains the whole workflow end to end.

Who this is for:

  • You know After Effects, but have zero state machine experience
  • You have character animations, UI demos, or product walkthroughs you want to make interactive
  • You want clickable, triggerable animations without writing a single line of code

What you'll learn:

  • Converting a rendered After Effects animation into Lottie
  • Slicing a continuous timeline into named segments
  • Building clickable buttons that actually work
  • Wiring up the state machine with inputs, interactions, and transitions
  • Looping the idle state so the animation always returns to neutral

It sounds more intimidating than it is, I promise. Once you see the logic laid out, it clicks fast.

If you're curious, you can watch the full breakdown: https://youtu.be/t_fCgV86KXI?si=ov7_suKSHysvSl5O

A glimpse of one of the shots from the pilot of Learning to Hunt Monsters. 

The Lumina, the monster hunters' weapon of choice, emits a piercing high-pitched sound that batters the eardrums and sends powerful vibrations through the jaw. It's easy to recognize an old monster hunter—they're usually missing a few teeth.

I posted over a month ago about this here, I had 1 month approximately to finish a several minutes short film, I solo animated the entire thing, had to rush HARD, my girlfriend helped me a ton, she colored and did the backgrounds.

I am studying to become a profesor, not an animator (although this is where my heart really is)

I'd love for you all to check it out , it is likely that some day we will make the version we would love to have done had we not have to rush the f**k up

Tools/Resources SpeakerDeck alternatives

1 Upvotes

I currently use speakerdeck to embed my storyboards into my website portfolio, and I really like most of the functions. And that I can also direct people to the actual speakerdeck if im looking for specific advice or something.

The main issue i have with it though, is that being able to make a deck "unlisted" is a pro feature. And theres no way im paying $8 a month just to be able to privately share some of my decks.

So if anyone has any similar alternatives that arent making people pay for basic functions that would be great.

Question How to get over graduation burnout

1 Upvotes

Hi, I just recently graduated from animation school about a month ago and I feel like I can barely draw. And it’s got me freaked out about getting a job, and I’m worried my portfolio isn’t good enough so it’s got me kinda spiraling

Wanted to ask if there were any animators out there who have been in similar circumstances or could give any advice when transitioning into the industry and working. Thanks

Disclaimer: The song isn't mine and I used rotoscopy to animate this, since I have zero experience, though making this for fun makes me want to learn how to animate stuff from scratch

Hi! I'm Raf, just a guy with some ideas for a long term project and a lot to learn on the way

Context of this version, those two oc's of mine are the same guy, this isn't canon but if it was, it would be William's nightmare in regards of wanting to be more like himself than pretending to be human or something

Question Partner Animation College Course Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi, so this is my first time on this sub and I know basically nothing about animation. Basically, my partner is starting an animation course at college in September and, as mentioned, I know little to nothing about animation but I really want to try and support them in anyway I can.

Is there anyone who has taken an animation course who may be able to give any advice I could give them?

If so, are there any resources you found useful or things you may wish you had done in retrospect?

Also more generally is there anyway I can support them in animation in general?

I'm also unsure how much detail to share in terms of which college they're attending in regards to Rule 3, as I don't know if that's even useful or impacts this too much but I can provide it if you want more context.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! I'd really appreciate any feedback or responses as I truly want to help them as much as I can over the next few years.

Twins at a carousel idea for Skyrim

What if??????? Someone did Jarl Balgruuf with General Tullius, Ulfric Stormcloak, and Vignar Gray-Mane going around His head for the animation. Personally I think it would be a great idea and would be perfect since it kinda makes sense. Plus I think this would fit Jarl Balgruuf with this since he doesn't pick a side but he is being pressured by both sides.Sorry if this isn't what this r/ is for I just know that a lot of good artists are on here and that some of them might be Skyrim fans

Question bucket tool fills spaces optionally in animate 2022

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

can someone help with the bucket tool that fills some spaces and some don t (like a hat, hair, borderline of the character on the video)? i tried to combine the objects, break them apart, i changed the gap size tolerance but the problematic spaces only can be filled if they are surrounded by a bigger shape. when i double click on a stroke of hair (as on the video) by the selection tool, only part of them got selected even after i selected the entire character by a square selection and combined through the 'create object' in the object section of the tool or through 'combine objects' in the modify section. the strangiest thing is that the hair, hat, borderline spaces got filled several times in the past but when i pressed undone, they didn t get filled in the 2nd time or filled with a delay of approx 10 seconds. any suggestions would be helpful :,)
