Have you thought of combining methods to create your own anime?

Check out this video.

 

This might be a great way to make your anime.

Mix with AE or use Adobe Animate

Crazy Talk actually supports MOCAP and a 3d Turn around of your character.   2d might be the faster way to go.

Plus you can add 3d backgrounds or actual backgrounds.   What do you think?

If you look at some of the other tutorial videos you will see how to turn a photo into a backround.

Then you can also add some AE FX.

If you don’t have a MOCAP system try the old fashion way.  Get out and film yourself on your phone or with a friend and then use that to animate the character.

So this was quite impressive.

They did this live.  Now imagine if you applied this system applied to your animated characters.  You could create an anime quite quickly.

Here is how to do it.

 

Personally I think you could use this for head animation and then use something else for the body like 3d cellshaded to match the head.

I came across this beautiful tribute awhile back.   I loved the style and loved all the little details.  This tribute to Hayao Miyazaki is awesome.

And now here is the breakdown.  The guy actually uses free software to make most of this.

Its a lot of work but beautiful!

Yup it is.  Hard as working in the hot sun digging ditches for a living?  Probably not.

But I wanted to share MAStar’s words of wisdom and personal experience in making anime.

 

MAStar has been creating One Punch Man vs Goku.  It was a fun little animation.

He is working on another here and his own anime series.

Michel Victor has some cool work.

He has extensive tutorials on how to add animation to a still drawing.  You don’t have to make the whole anime frame by frame.  Why not do a manga with a little bit of pizzaz to it.

So I wanted to tell you about one of my favorite creators Brian Haberlin.     It looks like his graphic novel Anomaly is coming to life on the Hollywood screen.

Relativity has closed a deal to finance, produce and distribute Anomaly, a live-action feature based on the interactive comic book created and written by top showbiz lawyer Skip Brittenham and Brian Haberlin. The script will be written by Ed Ricourt and Joe Roth is producing with Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh and Tucker Tooley.

 

 

 

 

 

Which I think is totally awesome for him!

I’m sure many of you would like to create and get something on the screen, like a full fledged anime.  Well truth is you can.  You just have to create it first in some form or other.

I remember a great storyteller and one of my favorite, if not my favorite creator of all time, tell me if you create it they will come.

That man was Doug Tenapel.

So guys if you really want to do this and get an anime created go for it.  At least make a manga and put it on Webtoons or something to that effect.  Then you will see if they come or not.

 

 

 

Here is a method if you are not the best artist.  We can all trace.

Get some friends together, dress them up and do some good old fashioned rotoscoping.

Dress friends up as your characters and use some good old fashioned cinematography and walla you can have a really cool anime.

It worked for Flowers of Evil

Just imagine the stories you could tell including some really cool slice of life anime.
