Hopping and bouncing, through the internet I am jumping: Art related stuff, drawings, sometimes photographies, and a bit of the Tumblr randomness

For some of their films, Disney would film real actors so that the animators could watch them for reference.
I LOVE this! ♥

LAST MINO SPAM AND THEN WE’RE DONE. These are some of the finished backgrounds I made for this here cartoon thing. We now return you to your regularly scheduled posts full of muscular men and bad jokes.
Actress Helene Stanley devised a light step dance for Merryweather cleaning the house with magic in Sleeping Beauty. Later work on the sequence determined that the action would be better seen in front view, which was no problem once the action was understood by the animator.
- First a drawing was made over the photostats, tracing action the animator wanted to retain, emphasizing points that made the movement unique, and noting the relationships and timing of the parts.
- Setting the photostats aside, the animator worked from his own drawings to capture the same action in the proportions of his cartoon character, who, at this point, was turned around to face the camera.
- Using this second set of roughs as he would on any scene, he proceeded to animate normally. Occasionally he referred back to the photostats one more time for some fine point that did not seem to be working or to solve a difficult drawing problem within an action. After all, that is what a model is for.

The whole film took me altogether about 5 grueling months (usually 10-12hours a day) to do. I often felt my butt was going to grow into the chair I usually sat at.
Please note that this was simply my way of doing my film to achieve the soft-shaded style I wanted; there are many other ways of doing this and some are a lot faster with different results~! :)
- My film on DeviantArt | My film on Vimeo
- My film gifs on Tumblr
- You can see my storyboard animatic here (although the original had music, but like I mentioned, my placeholder music was by Joe Hisaishi, you know, Miyazaki’s composer, so it’s not really legal to upload it).
This tut differs a bit from my dA version, because tumblr lets me put the combination of gifs and jpegs :D.
Here’s a book that will really help you start animating:
here’s some books that are good for composition, storytelling and colours:
- Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation
- The Art of Pixar: The Complete Color Scripts and Select Art from 25 Years of Animation
- Prepare to Board! Creating Story and Characters for Animated Features and Shorts
I hope these helpedI ask that no one removes the credit or source for this tutorial/guide please. thanks :)
And this is a keeper! No doubt about that! :)
I’m just gonna put this one on standby
for when I start my senior film!
The Reward is so painfully close to not being funded, guhhhuhg. Everyone do everything you can to get The Reward to it’s goal! Reblog this! Back it! Tweet it! Do whatever it’s so good it’s going to be awful if it doesn’t get made!
so true
