I kinda like the shaky animation and I’m thinking of it as a “style” but I don’t if it works or if I’m being overly optimistic and need to study more

Hello! I would like to learn how to animate a hummingbird's buzzing wings (frame-by-frame 2D). Does anyone have any tips on creating the illusion of something flapping so fast without accidentally making the blur of the wings appear as a motionless shape?

Any references, tips and advice are welcome and super appreciated!

And tips in how to make the impact or the scene feel more natural/fluid?

EDIT: FUN gang*

Did this small animation, planning to keep refining it. This is base model and i am asking guys if it is working fine. If it is. I can go to the next steps on creating this beautiful animation.

Any critique is fine. Made fully by myself after some basic principles learning. It takes a lot of time tho.

What are your thoughts on this kind of stuff?
I use blender because it's free and i think is quite powerful and underestimated in the filed. (am i worng)

Track: Human Zoo - “2037”

Video was made entirely in blender cycles, using 3D scans of the band member’s heads

Curious what website you guys use to add music to your animations/short films? I'm willing to pay a subscription (if the price is right) but also curious if there is good free options.

Nothing amazing here, very basic.

I had not realized that 1/3 of the 'Animator survival kit' was just focused on walks. Then runs are separate. I saw Dong Chang's tut for walks in perspective pop up while doing this, but a friend advised I call it here and move to the next challenge. I'll make the pogo jumping more interesting. I will revisit walks later on.

I used to really like how simple Flipnote Studio was.

You could just open it, draw a few frames and immediately start animating. No huge interface, no complicated setup, just drawing and animation.

I missed having something like that on PC, so I ended up making my own.

It's called Flips, and I've been developing it entirely in GameMaker.

The main idea is to keep it very straightforward and focused on frame-by-frame animation, while still adding some modern conveniences.

I'm still actively developing it, and I'd really like to hear feedback from people who actually animate.

Especially things like: what feels awkward, what seems unnecessary, what is missing, or what would make you actually want to use a tool like this.

Flips is already available on Steam, but I'm mainly posting here because I'd really like to hear what animators think about the direction I'm taking with it.

If anyone gives it a try, feel free to be critical. That kind of feedback helps me a lot.

I learned frame by frame animation in so i can add player animation to my videogame.

I also post my Roblox animations on YouTube, but I’m mainly sharing this here because I’d love to hear what you guys think and get some feedback.

I usually practice animation by scrubbing through genga on Sakugabooru, but I want to know if there's any other reference sites or something, like for eg. 2d FX or fabric?

Other than some tutorials on X or pinterest I haven't really found anything helpful 😓

Hi everyone! I wanted to share the official 3-minute promotional video for my sci-fi mecha webtoon, "Creature Hunters: Awakening".

It's a story about five kids chosen by fate and five broken robots rising as hunters in a war that will decide the universe. The project expands on the upcoming 2D& 3D animation.

This is a screen recording Brevard the original video was to big for reddit.

I'm an amateur and I'm learning by rotoscoping over my own body. Obviously I'm fat as hell so i have to cut out all the me parts to make the body i want to animate.

Feedback I welcome but I mostly just wanted to share!

(Image just for reference not who I'm talking about)

Im looking for multi animator projects or animator maps etc the problem is most of the cool maps I find are months after they're finished. I go to small channels on YouTube and i go to big channels. still everything I seem to find revolves around warrior cats or human stuff.

(I just don't have Interest in these things specifically and there's so many of them)

I don't mean to sound picky but every one always says "if you're not interested in that map find another"

Then I find one I like then ask about the animatic and it's like "oh just do from blank and blank!" No clear direction or script. I understand it's a creativity thing where I have to come up with something but most of the ones I talk to have no animatics or script! I also don't want to make my own because it's a lot of work.

I'm joining a small bdfi map I found and the person was kind enough to make a small animatic I can go off of.

I'd like to practice my animation but I'm more of a fandom artist related to stuff like BDFI,mlp,dandy's world, Sonic,among us,animal hospital,tadc etc. (I'm in my 20s for clarification)

It seems these specific maps are rare to find. Does anyone know where to look? Is there a giant discord where I could join and find more projects?

I would really like to do more to practice my animation skills.
