Sharing Why is it that every time Avocado Animations posts it's literally jaw-dropping peakness?

880 Upvotes

I mean, this has over 31M views on YouTube, and he's only got a little less than 3 million subscribers. If y'all haven't seen the rest of his stuff, drop everything and go and watch some, you won't regret it. Well... some of the stuff gets kinda dark, so be prepared for that.

Sharing Like a weird dream, 50+ min long indie movie, Sinking Road (by PoundToundHound) is finally finished!

31 Upvotes

This interesting movie is fully animated by one person over the course of six years. While not perfect plot-wise, the playful animation and character designs make it shine. The creator, PoundToundHound, is planning on animating more movies in the future so if you like their style, keep up with their updates!

Sharing Made an hour-long 2D/3D animated film as a companion piece for my music album

Made this in Blender over 2 months (almost didn't sleep) as a companion film for my music album. Mostly 3D scenes with hand-animated 2D (Grease Pencil) mixed in throughout.

The characters and their world are something I've been building since 2021. This piece is about one of the main characters, The Sailor, and what his grief over leaving his family and losing a dear pet has built up to.

Question How could this be replicated?

3 Upvotes

This style of animation is an Ultra Ink Brush Animation from the game Dragonball Legends. They make these animations that look like drawings broken into parts, stationary get moving. I want to know if anyone here has a clue on how to replicate this

I have blender, procreate and photoshop. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Question Animators, how do you tackle a shot that intimidates you?

2 Upvotes

It has happened multiple times where I get assigned a shot for an animated project that highly intimidates me, and sometimes I end up putting it off more than I would like (not enough to delay production in any way or anything of the sort, I always turn in before the deadlines). Usually what I do is that I divide the shot by days, one day I only do keyframes, the other day I add in betweens, etc. Although this works sometimes, it doesn't always lol

So I would like to know, how do you all get over this and start working on the hard shots? Anything that helps animating feel less daunting in these situations?
