Hi new followers, thank you for your support!
My YouTube channel is currently undergoing complete rebranding - whilst I am in my Animation Training Arc.
I have a vision in my mind that I will share with the world very soon. Thank you.
I finally did it...😭 I spent the past week summarizing and learning Ginyoagoldie's entire CSP tutorial archive.
An incredible animator who I believe has THE MOST knowledge on the CSP interface creating amazing custom tools.
If you havent already, you HAVE to follow him!
Animators! found another quick compositing tutorial! This one is on rim lighting effect that you see on modern anime!
I will always support creators who share compositing tutorials for animation, due to incredible lack of info online atm😭😭

What im starting to realize in this study is that the official name of each concept/stage is actually not as obvious as you'd think.
Framing seems to be more so your placement, interaction and number of characters rather than "cool shots". 🤔

My animations are shit and bland
If they look good it was due to a happy accident w/o proper knowledge
I would skip to animating and when its too late and the shot sucks I wasted so much time
Planning with intent is key.
Restart from step 1..

Daily exercise to solidify fundamentals.
Cubes cover perspective, rotation and arcs.
I found an animator today who also did the exercise and was able to break down why my version was so weird.
There are inner and outer ellipses for arcs!
Also free feet🦶🏻

Super helpful character acting animation tutorial!
I have been using a 4 frame rule but after seeing this, that extra last frame makes a huge difference for follow through.
The breakdown and graph shown here is also genius!✍🏻💪🏻
this is one of my many ways to make my animation look more natural(?)
the terms might not be accurate but i hope this will be a good information for ya

Here is a small compilation of some studies I did for warm up before working on my project.
1. Kanada-style+limited frame animation
2. Wave-method hair animation
3. Figure drawings of complex poses and angles to juice up my brain 🧠
(also lui-nee 🍑)

My extended take on
@Telepeturtle
's little man animation series lol this guy was featured for 3 ep straight and gained more power than he should have!
So i took it upon myself to stop him! 😤
Full video:
You know that speed zoom in anime where characters fly like a comet? Apparently theres no name for it..
I studied and broke it down, its suprisingly super easy! The most you have to draw is actually just the fx which again... is easy... ☄️

Hi Animators, can you share your figures you use for animations? State your pros and cons.
The most important thing is to have a solid base/skeleton and prioritize movement. And then add character details on top.
Still not the biggest fan of A/B/C atm, as they dont feel good
Fully colored! Holy... turned out perfect hahaha 😂
The goal for this YouTube video is to replicate Mappa Studio quality. Really happy how its turning out!
Onto more sakuga cuts.... 😪

I thought my drawings sucked but now looking back at the storyboard they are pretty good lmao 😂
Excited to finish this CSM project up soon!!!

Almost there, I wish I could work faster. 🏃🏻♂️💨
Do any other animators/artists also just take ages to get their work done or is it just me?
It might be because I am setting myself incredibly high standards with lack of experience. 😓🚬

After my long search, made my own figure as a midground of time/vol/perspective(replies).
Tried my first Inoue walk, you will notice subtle changes in height and arcs in the knees. Try it!
Shapes in space for depth perception.
1st ever throwing animation +
@qulomiz_u
cameo!
I've been looking for more Gurren Lagann type shows by searching for "Kanada style" with no luck.
So I switched to "Imaishi / Gainax Style" shows.
Finally, found a good list! Starting with DIEBUSTER!
2004 anime with insane Trigger style animation...
I heavily underestimated how difficult/finicky animating subtle character acting is compared to action sakuga scenes. I storyboarded with mostly minimal movement to "save time" and ended up costing more coz every line must be more accurately drawn🤦🏻♂️

Base color done! now on to shading + vfx.
Animator mutuals, do you guys have trouble with complex cuts and sometimes unable to make out what line is what if you have alot of layers going on?
I decided to color so I can actually make out the blood and guts...

I realized that this project is actually my first "proper" animation. And considering myself a beginner, this has got to be one of the hardest challenges any animator can put themselves through...
It's way over my skill level, banger video tho.. 😃

Finally a more exciting part where we can really evoke and emphasize an emotion from the viewer! Combining all previous parts so far, you can actually start cooking! 🧑🏻🍳🔥
I particularly like the Ground Shot, it actually fucks so hard🤯🔥

WIP my first proper Sakuga action cut.

's animation breakdown videos helps me go out of my comfort zone.
Here i tried out a technique he brings up alot about an Eye Zoom In+Out, as well as my twist on Kanada Flare but with monster blood✨

QUANXI CUT!! rough pass almost done!
The fact that most animations have details that wont even be seen like under the hand or above and below the frame hurts 🥹but it comes clutch when you wanna do camera motions in post... 🥹(still hurts)

My favorite figure animators [2/2]: ROAD SIGN
The absolute goat of figure animation, my favorite. Even with incomplete figures his placement of lines are flawless.
Im still very new to character design! Been working on Sayumi's redesign w/ many iterations.
The hardest part was the choice of clothes, going for a striking yet simple design for animation, a difficult balance + elements of Y2k/FLCL.

@BillyontheStraw
for refining!

@_MankoMan
. Probs the MOST important channel on YouTube that exists to educate us about production and famous animators in anime. Infectious passion and molecular breakdowns - always watching while I animate 👍🏻
All this info is from studio binders playlist, im just summarizing hours of information few the next few days into a page to quickly reference to. Will be sharing the entire cheat sheet when its ready.

Appreciate all the time you put in for this
@black_birdiiie
Tutorials take time, but they will last forever! 🙏🏻
In this THREAD , I, BLACK BIRDIE, will go over my ✨️compositing✨️ process of my Gojo drawing via After Effects to achieve this look, going from this to this.
I'm honored to receive you all 🐦
My first ever Sakuga Process! And first time doing proper genga, although it doesn't include as much details (yellow) as professional studio grade but definitely progress!

Behind the scenes I've been slowly working on levelling up my character design. Trying to make it eyecatching yet simple - to create a smoother and easier workflow for upcoming videos.
I think after a few more renditions, I will have perfected the most time efficient design! ✨
Animators! If you use blender for 2D animation or plan to use blender even for 3D background implementation this may help!
A Sakuga addon just dropped!
Im always in awe when ginyoagoldie makes CSP custom tools but this is just another level of dedication.
Manual included~ ✍🏻
Took me long enough to animate something for the occasion, but, I wanted to take the time to thank you all, so much ❤️
one million is a big number, and I couldn't have done it without all of you
Truly, thank you

Seriously proud of myself observing Nakamura's impact frames + trying to implement his way of doing it. I think Im getting a grasp of slowmo too!

YouTube Channel icon changed to fit the animation aesthetic! Super rough but it's not like anyone will zoom into my profile pic anyway lol
Heavily referenced from a sketch of Chrollo, when I find the artist I'll attach it to the thread! 👁️👁️👁️

btw this is self-critique post.
i think alot of us want to skip to the exciting parts of art and not pay too much attention to the fundamentals. I learnt this the hard way.
Also its way more gratifying when your work is complimented the way youve planned it out, rather than😅
2d/3d animation, it was a school assignment ! I chose Haruko from FLCL 😈🎸 and the 3d character is Reimu, rigged by MegaBubu on gumroad. But yeah I mostly focused on Haruko 🤭 the audio is from Killing Eve !
When extremely skilled animators/compositors reveal their processes with compact tutorials like this, it's a godsend for EVERYONE!
There's a severe lack of info, almost industry secret level scarcity.
Other than DongChang + Manu - we really need more of this sharing.
@qulomiz_u
My version is on the top left.
You can see examples of using calves+forearm for more perspective based shots. Still yet to animate more with it, but im quite pleased so far~!
We all want to animate and draw character details straight away neglecting/skipping the skeleton, coz its exciting to draw sexy characters right? But it destroys the motion and stiffens the animation. So pls share your figures, I really want to find one that I enjoy drawing! TY!
concept drawing for my first big project. i know ive been making poopy animations but this one will be my first serious one, cant wait for it to be done 😤 storyboarding complete! 🐰
I dont have enough experience to be 100% sure but comparing to top level sakuga quality from JJK, Demon Slayer, Nakamura -
It feels like the Trigger style is almost as effective with simpler designs and less frames/details - which feels like a great place to start for newbies~
Thanks for 5k! 🎉I'll bring you guys Gurren Lagann + FLCL vibes soon! It'l be a banger ass video I promise, this new direction of content im making is so much higher than my skill but I'll get used to it as I fight on!
Im gonna be YT's coolest animator! ✨

Im working on my BIGGEST video yet. Currently making Chainsaw Man Season 2, this is my first time trying sakuga and I am really trying my best to push myself beyond my comfort zone, avoiding static boring angles.
If any animators want to partake or help out lmk

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Been away planning out my own unique style of YouTube Videos and finally found it! Next video will be up soon featuring Sayumi! (poses are not mine)
Really excited for you guys to witness the crazy ideas I have planned!
Happy New Years~ 🥳
I redesigned the thumbnail of my YouTube Channel pilot.
The animation quality doesnt match my current skill level since this is a year old. But the proof of concept still stands! Im bringing a new style of animation to YT.
Watch here⬇️
I've been trying to figure out why shows like FLCL, Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill are so timeless -
To learn a style that is a good ROI in effort.
Must be the expressive chara design, insane poses/perspective, appealing stylistic effects.
