Animation Tutorial Set - 1by ~Go-Crag-Go

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

Finally here. This thing is truly monstrous, I'll have to split it in two some other time. Maybe even in four. I've just been informed by the 'which file' upload section that I cant submit anything larger than 18000x10800...my file was 2000x 40000. So if it's lost so much quality that its unreadable let me know and I'll do something about it.

Anyway,apologies to those who have been waiting, I know there's at least one or two out there. It still needs work but you can always just send me a note or comment here to get any information you need

To anyone who's just stumbled upon this little tutorial or the Animation-Group then you have before you the first of (hopefully) a larger set encompassing the many aspects of animation.

Here are the links that were referenced in the tutorial

Oh wow. I haven't yet read all of it, but from what I've managed to understand when skimming through it this is really amazing. I've always learned through observation and practice so I'm pretty much self-taught, and I've already noticed a lot of things this tutorial has mentioned (such as it's the quality of the movement that makes the animation, not the quality of each frame). It's become my dream to become an animator and make my own cartoon show, but I'm so easily discouraged it's difficult sometimes. But seeing this really helps me, makes me want to try again! ^^ Thanks! I will definitely use this advice sometime!

Wow wow, this is long. But I really want to learn how to animate.
I'll save this in my favorites and read it when I have time. >.<

If you have any questions about animation dont hesitate to ask me.

_{Great tutorial, I'll definitely be trying out the ball exercise. I wanted to try some traditional animation because of the project-educate blogs, and this is the perfect way to start. Initially I thought I'd just attempt something but you've opened my eyes to how complex the process really is, so thanks for that! ^^}

~Go-Crag-Go Jul 7, 2012 Student Filmographer

Hey, you're very welcome

Let me know how it goes for you. I can give some advice along the way if you want.

*The-Derpsparce Jul 19, 2012 Student General Artist

I did it!

Could you maybe take a look and give me some advice? ^^

~Go-Crag-Go Jul 28, 2012 Student Filmographer

Sure thing. I just gave you a long comment with feedback on the video. I might take the video and do some edits to it if you don't mind and show you where you could have done things better and post that as a video for you to see if you'd like. I don't think I explained it with just words and there are some things that would be much easier to show visually (since animation is a visual media)

Just came across this by chance and it's a really good tutorial - I wish I'd had something like this at first. I initially taught myself based on my instincts and it took me two years to finally get a hold of The Animator's Survival Kit - I laughed at your section about music, to be honest I always feel guilty about listening to music when animating since reading that three years ago!
Doesn't stop me though ;n;
I also love that quote about animation being actions that are drawn - it's so true! They always say animators would make great actors, and it must be true to some degree because I always sit in my chair flailing about acting out what I'm trying to animate.
I agree with the chair too LOL - my back is IN AGONY since starting my degree animation - I seriously need a new chair.
Really good tutorial c: I'm sure there's a ton of new animators out there now!

~Go-Crag-Go May 20, 2011 Student Filmographer

Ah, thanks a lot

I appreciate that.
Looking back on the tutorial now though I think that there are plenty of problems with it. I think I might remake it (maybe as a video) to make it better. There still seems to be a fair amount of traffic on the tutorial as it is

~Iron-Confederate Jan 10, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

This is a good tutorial for a beginner animator like myself.
