Watch and learn.
Here is another one of those videos combining 2d and 3d animation to get better results, especially if you are not the best artist and want to try 2d.
If you learn anything, learn how to tell a story first and foremost. Just wanted to share this touching animation.
I think there are ways around it by using 3d or CG type stuff but personally to do these awesome 2d things I think you need some skill in drawing. You be the judge.
Here is how to integrate 2d and 3d.
I really love this method and think for even folks who cannot draw very well you could do something like this.
I really liked the intro this guy made. It looks pretty good especially animated by one person. I thought I’d share with you some of his video tutorials on how to make anime. Again the process works in standard animation as well.
I’m going to throw this one in as well. Animating with Adobe After FX.
Want to use a great piece of software that was used to actually make anime? Anime the likes of Ghibli?
Here you go.
IT it FREE!
I found this over at Artella.com. If you want to make an anime consider going there and finding some artists to work with. I just wanted to show you folks a great little animation that i hope see come to fruition.
I watch a lot of Misty Chronexia’s videos. I thought it was awesome that he decided to create his own anime.
Here is the first episode.
Yes you can do it too!
I love this trailer for the comic book called Kairos.
It just makes me want to see this as a movie.
Maybe you can make a manga and animation that go hand in hand as a promotion! In truth Anime and manga go hand in hand. Often times Manga tests the popularity of something and if popular is created into an anime. In turn that anime creates Manga sales. Maybe an idea when you are deciding to get into business.
I heard that anime is really popular in France, probably even more so than the USA. There has been some awesome stuff out of France that is for certain. I wanted to share a great animated series and game which features some super awesome character design.
Just check out those awesome character designs below. Here is a making of Wakfu. The method is very similiar to what Jazza was teaching in the post below.
Sorry it was in French.
But I think you can get the breakdown. Here is a character design.
So then apply what you learn from Jazza’s training below and you should be able to create something awesome.
Also you can hire an artist to make a puppet like this for you. That way you can use them over and over again.
In case you missed it.
Here is the finished animation.
While Wakfu may seem like it is more complicated the basics are still there. You can learn a lot from this tutorial.
