Hi, so I want to try making a little animation using only paper. Not like a flipbook look I did in the past. I don't know much about animation, I'm not an animator. I have interest. I wanted to do it for a little while, but didn't really work out there. There are a couple small tiny little animation videos on my channel that I've made using Crata, but that didn't really go anywhere. So I like to give it another shot, but this time I just want to try and make it basically like a pencil test and maybe we'll get some collater. So we'll see. Voice over Mouche here. So I've started with mapping out a little key frame so the movement that I want to animate. And that's a very quick movement. It's pretty simple. It's a lady just sitting down and then getting up. That's all. That's keeping it simple. And then I started drawing them out on B-R-piece paper with the same pencil. Just trying to keep it as close to the original key frames that I thought of. And I created this little workspace on my desk for this little project. You will see this little strips of tapes. I layered up several pieces of tape on the sides and on the top. And on the bottom I have this little bracket that looked up from my desk so it doesn't slide around. That was important for me to not to shift the position of the paper in any way otherwise I'll just jump around on the page. So I did that. And I've lost some footage of me doing the in-between frames, but I basically just had two of my frames. The previous one, the next one in front of me and I just drew in the movement that would be in-between the frames like around probably like the midpoint. And I only did one in-between frame with every key frame because it's such short movement. I probably could do more but I didn't probably because I'm lazy. But the in-between frames are important for more fluid and smooth movement so I went with some key frames. After that I did little testing, did little cleaning up and yeah and I turned out I think it turned out pretty okay. Then I just popped the pictures in my editing software and just tried to short them out and see how it goes. The one thing that I was really worried about while doing it is staying in a model. I have a lot of trouble staying in a model. I have a lot of trouble making the character when I draw them in different positions make them look the same as they as the other pictures because the proportions really easily get escued with me when you change the angle and change the position it's something always changes a little bit so that was a really good exercise staying in a model at least with the proportion. It's very important to keep the volume of your figure from what I understand because if you don't keep the volume then the the animation is going to be very jaggedy and it's going to shrink a lot and that's going to expand them. That's why I read that it's important when you do like onion skinning when you like put the sheets on top of each other or create different layers in your animation software. It's very important to not to just trace them because when you trace the usual trace on the outside of the previous figure and with time it just gets bigger and bigger. That's what was my problem when I was doing those short grid animations because the size would fluctuate a lot so I tried to be mindful about that but yeah I think it was a fun little project it didn't take me too too long it took me a few hours but it's only because of six keyframes and five in between frames so there was there was that that was pretty short there was there was short and sweet I liked it. I thought it was fun because that's not something I do usually and I know that animation is a growing tedious work but at the end it's so rewarding I think when you see everything just come together and form something cohesive and nice. So I thought it was fun. I think in the future I will probably add onto this particular animation a little bit maybe I'll probably incorporate a walk cycle in there because she gets up from the chair and then maybe have her walk away or walk towards you or something I think I'm gonna add up onto it and I know it's not a meaningful animation I knew in the new way it's not it doesn't tell any story and you think it's not particular or artistic but it it was a fun test with my skills I guess and the fun exercise so yeah I liked it I hope you liked it too and I'm gonna see you next time thank you for watching bye you
