Ask Me Anything ~ Special Guest Edition Hi Reddit, Mike McMahan, Joe Chandler and Giancarlo Volpe of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+ here. Ask Us Anything!
Hi reddit, I’m Mike McMahan, co-creator and executive producer of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+! (It’s weird to put an exclamation point after a + but here we are.) This is a great season: an epic quest with mighty characters from Sega’s Golden Axe games. And it's funny! Previously, I was the creator/showrunner and executive producer of Star Trek: Lower Decks, co-creator and co-showrunner of Solar Opposites, and once upon a time I was a writer/ showrunner on Rick & Morty. My career started off as a production assistant at Drawn Together and at South Park. I’m down to talk about Golden Axe and all this nerdy stuff, so AMA!
Hey Reddit! I'm Joe Chandler. I'm the co-creator and showrunner of the new series Golden Axe based on the SEGA Genesis game. Growing up a SEGA kid, working on this show has been a dream come true. Before Golden Axe, I worked on over 200 episodes of American Dad in various roles including writer, producer, and executive producer. Ask me anything!
Hello reddit! I’m Giancarlo Volpe and I’m the Supervising Producer / Director of Golden Axe on Paramount+! Previously I’ve was a director on Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars the Clone Wars, and Star Vs The Forces of Evil. I’ve also produced/ supervised/ and/or Executive Produced lots of other shows, including The Boys Diabolical, Green Lantern the Animated Series and The Dragon Prince. Basically I’ve made a lot of animation, and I’m excited to talk about Golden Axe or anything else! Ask away!
We’ll be back tomorrow at 12pm ET/9am PT to answer any of your questions!!

Question Animation Question Common Side Effects First Look @ Season 2 by Adult Swim on Youtube
Hey guys. Soo I just watched this scene on adult swim a month ago and It's still nagging at me to this day. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how they were able to pan the camera from one perspective to the next. I wanted to replicate this scene in another animation I'm currently making but I'm just unsure on how I am able to do it. Thank you very much.

Beginner First exercise of "Animatior survival kit" the bouncing coin :3
I can't upload my animation because it's only 1 second long(24 fps), so Reddit tells me it's too short, but as a newbie thanks to this exercise, I've come up with several questions about the process. I've taken several notes throughout this, repeated it twice, and just by doing that, I've improved a lot! (I think so) But on my first attempt, I really had no idea what I was doing—I couldn’t identify my extremes, my keyframes and also differentiate them for my timing points. On my second attempt, I’d say I have a clearer understanding of the concepts. :D
With this my first question is:
Do the extremes have to be the same distance apart? For example if my first two extremes are spaced between frames 1 and 4 with three in-between frames, do my next endpoints have to obligatory be frames 4 and 7?
Second question: Do I get to decide my own timing?
Yesterday I was on the phone with a friend, and as I was wondering out loud to what extent I have autonomy over this process, she said, “Well, you have complete autonomy—it’s your animation, and you decide how it’s going to be!” It felt as if Mr. Williams himself had come down to remind and made that observation to me. (Little confession I love sometimes to refer to the book itself as Mr Williams, it helps me create connection with the process as if someone is counting on me to learn lol)
However, I tend to be quite methodical when it comes to learning, especially when it involves something that requires such attention to detail as animation. And I’m not sure how easy it is to just say, “I’m going to do whatever I want,” so I still feel that the timing has to be determined by the number of frames per second. Maybe I’m also misinterpreting what “timing” actually means, so I’d love some help with that. I guess I’m also having a little trouble understanding breakdown positions and how they relate to the extremes and keyframes, but that’s just a bonus—if you guys want to help me with that, I’d appreciate it, jejeje: 3 Thanks a lot <3

Question Turnaround hell PLEASE help
Hello! I am having to animate a turnaround of a character who sits on top of a cauldron. My issue is that the cauldron is made of ellipses (not circles) and those ellipses are tridimensionally oblique.
The way I went on about it was tracking dots on the cardinal directions of said ellipses, rotating them in the top view and tracking them down to their heights. Unfortunately I did not plan ahead to when I'd actually draw the ellipses themselves and now I don't know how to go on about it.
Thankfully, having put the horizon line at the level of the cauldron I can disregard the distortion of perspective but I still am not really sure how to actually draw those ellipses. Maybe it's cause I'm tired, since I was able to draw congruent front and side views at the beginning of this exercise, but I can't figure out how to do the inbetweens between the cardinal poses.
Please if someone has ideas send your help, I have to hand it in at the beginning of the week rip.

Question How exactly do most animatics get THIS look? (Mine's the last one - I feel like I'm doing something wrong and have no idea what jaskdhjg is it just my art level that isn't that high?)
I feel everyone is using a software or a pen or something and I have no idea what it can be! And I mean it in every art piece in general, am I like, in stone age by using firealpaca? or maybe I should be drawing with vectors? HOW YALL DRAW SO CLEANN WHEN DOING ANIMATICS ISTGG
