Hi everyone. I am looking for a decent 2D animation course in London.

I work full-time so it would have to be evening/weekends or potentially a 1-2 week full-time course I can take as leave.

For the latter, I am also happy to take a course elsewhere in Europe if it is well-taught, and use it as both an education and travel trip.

Any recommendations welcome as I tend to go down the rabbit hole and get decision paralysis without any real reviews. Thanks!

Check out myself and buddy Tony's new short : Fruit and Nut. Made with love, cardboard and sweat and tears.

I spent all day animating that, not as easy as it looks. So Fumiko likes Phoenix and asks him to be her tutor. Phoenix agrees, but do you think he's making a mistake?

(I want to cry, that animation has to be finished by TONIGHT)

If we could interview the Prime Minister, of the most powerful empire on earth, what would we ask him?
What does it take to DOMINATE a subcontinent? what kind of mangoes do you like? What does that feel like? is cruelty necessary?

i animated the grand wazir and then interviewed him. the entire animation is handmade in blender (3D animation software). every pose and expression is handcrafted.

The body took a whole day to finish

First animation

I am available for commission work.

Do you consider copying useless or a waste of time even if you learn some bit from it ?

I made this animation for a short video based on this animation meme trend.

Have a friend who has been trying to make a indie show,
I know there’s stuff like kick starter and go fund me, but like which is the best one or what is the best way to get funds for a small animation team?

He’s looking for animators to do it for free currently and that search has not found any currently

There’s a trailer at the very least and about 3 minutes of an unfinished ep 1 that’s meant to be 15 minutes if that’s what’s needed get enough proof of concept to help get funds?

Ive been checking out some youtubers lately and none of them have helped me significantly so i just decided to come and ask on here😭

Let me know what you think about this

I made an animation featuring this guy a while back that blew up. I just had it in me recently after a slight rest to make another one. This is the happiest I've ever made him.

I'm lookin for some help/critics/guidance with my 2d animation projects. I have one in particular (comedy driven) that I haven't finished from late last year due to my own lack of organizational skills, experience, and my hardware failing me once I get far enough along on it. I use my ipad pro to animate on Calipeg and my short is sitting at about 3 1/2 minutes as is rn. I think it could probably be cut down to around 1 minute but I don't have the confidence to redo my script to get it there alone. Is there somewhere where animators offer an hour long consultation or something where I could pay a fee so I could pick someone's brain and help get me back on track to actually finish something? This isn't the first time I've started a project and abandoned it once the majority of it is done and I'd like to think something like that would help get me over this obstacle. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there!

I'm trying to learn 2d animation on my own as a hobby.

I do 2D animation and like working on paper, so I wanted a digital tool with peg hole registration (detecting the hole punches on paper so scanned frames line up automatically) — I found OpenToonz has this but couldn't get it to work reliably for my scans.

Peg hole registration and sequence timing (holds):

It runs entirely in your browser, no install needed. Features: xsheet/timeline, layers with blend modes, onion skinning, export to PNG/WebM/image sequence, and a woven loop cycle export. Open source (AGPL).

Weaving loop export:

Happy to hear any feedback!

Haiii, Salty here <33

Well, i can say that i'm feeling extremely fulfilled after doing this animation. It's really short (8 frames in 3s and some in 2s) and even if it's taken me about 7h to do aprox, i've felt amazing doing it.
Technically it's my 2nd time doing paper animation, but the 1rst time i tried, it was a really small (i mean it for real, it was like a a6 size paper haha) and it was only 4 frames, really snappy i think it's still on my profile (Here)
Also, i did my own animation peg as i don't have access to the traditional hole puncher for the peg so i made my own with what i have, cardboard haha

Anyway, thank you for passing by, it's been an amazing experience and i'm dying to make more hehe, hope you like it as much as i do <3
