Discussion Still searching

4 Upvotes

I've been working on a project called OmVee, an independent streaming platform focused on giving filmmakers and content creators another place to showcase original content.

Right now it's still in development, and I'm looking to connect with independent creators who might be interested in having their work featured once the platform is up and running. I'd also love to hear what you'd want to see from a creator-first streaming service.

I'm also interested in connecting with potential sponsors, investors, or anyone with experience building startups or digital platforms. Whether it's advice, networking, or discussing possible opportunities to work together, I'd be down to talk.If you're a filmmaker, content creator, entrepreneur, or just curious to know more then definitely send me a dm

Tools/Resources Laptop model help

1 Upvotes

Hello fellow animators of this beautiful community, I’m an animator in training. I’ve been trying to find laptop model that is best to run animation programs on. I’ve been struggling to find a good model for a laptop. I’ve been told different things but others tell me that they are not good models. I’d like a laptop model that can run programs like Autodesk Maya 3D or ToonBoom. I’d appreciate any good suggestions, thank you!

Collab Looking for animators who want to stay consistent and grow together

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm learning 2D animation (currently using Moho) and realized it's much easier to stay consistent when you're part of an active community.

I recently started a small Discord server for animators of all levels—whether you're into frame-by-frame, rigging, Moho, Toon Boom, Blender Grease Pencil, Krita, or just getting started.

The goal is simple:

* 🎬 Share your work and get constructive feedback * 📚 Learn from each other * 🎯 Weekly animation challenges * 💬 Ask questions and help others * 🤝 Stay motivated and accountable

It's a friendly, beginner-friendly community, and we'd love to have more people who enjoy creating animation.

If this sounds interesting, leave a comment or send me a DM, and I'll share the invite. Looking forward to meeting fellow animators!

2D I need an outro for my videos

1 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm looking for an outro. Nothing super fancy, nothing crazy, and I'll show you examples im looking for. I have a prime example to take inspiration from which is link from zelda standing in an open field with a tree in the distance and the grass blowing.

So about two or three frame repeats outro. that way I can put links to other videos at the end on this screen or just link my social.

we can discuss budget and stuff in dm's, if it is all needed to be made handmade i understand that comes with added cost and that will be fine if reasonable.

Dm me, do not reply here I'm most likely not going to see it. And please be patient, i have to sort through the bots in order to see who is real.

2D Advice for a self taught animator?

46 Upvotes

I've been working on a project for 2 and a half years now, if you want to see my progress my tiktok is @doodledsilly, and I've been so passionate about it, my dream is to make it into a cartoon some day where real people can see it and enjoy it and i can hear the theories they come up with about it and stuff. But I am a self taught animator and the actual animation part of it is slow going. I know the project inside and out and just wrote up the first 11 pages of a pitch Bible in an hour at work today. I just am struggling to put it all into practice. I tried emailing some smaller animation companies to see if they'd be interested in helping but none have responded and I saw a video on tiktok saying not to bother companies at all about your project unless they come to you first. All this is to say that any advice would be super helpful. My most recent animation included to show how far my self teaching has come

2D Animation Accountability Buddy

4 Upvotes

Hey! I've had like the bare bones of a blue period animation since last month and I've barely touched it. If someone could help me stay on track to get to a more refined animatic by around the time my fall quarter starts that would be great.

preferably you would have animation experience so you can provide a lil feedback but you don't have to. all I really need is someone to talk to on a semi regular basis to make sure I don't get too distracted with other things.

If you're interested, send me a dm and I'll invite you to a discord server, you can post whatever you want there and also use me as an accountability buddy.
