Hello! I've Just Discovered Your Channel Today From The Tf2 Video And Im Just So Amazed By All The Cool

hello! i've just discovered your channel today from the tf2 video and im just so amazed by all the cool stuff you did and still are doing rn!! i really like your arts and animations and i've been thinking of trying out animation too, could i ask what programms are you using to animate and ask for some begginer tips? ( ´ ꒳ ` ) thank you for the content and stay cool!!

thank you so muuch

i'd say what i use to animate but it's kinda old outdated stuff that i'm too lazy to move away from right now. i know there's stuff out there that's free and open source instead of costing a lot of money/requiring piracy. There was actually a really neat archive of old macromedia flash online but it's been taken down and that SUCKS (it's what i used to first get into animation)

Here's a list of adobe alternatives by xdaniel on twitter

with beginners tip, there's ol reliable right there

something you can always do is analyze animations you resonate with frame by frame. see what makes it work and why the movement look so appealing (there's keys to move around frame by frame on youtube)

experimenting also helps a lot!! there's many times where i gotta tweak around and redraw when animating even if my stuff is relatively pretty simple

simple is something i value a lot in animation. we don't really have a whole team of animators to help with all the work animating takes, sooo i really recommend beginners to start animating with simple shapes and characters! stickmen will always be awesome forever
