I enjoy these types of tutorials because they arn't much of "how to" and more of "what to do" They are awesome

[@Fractorification]

This series was a real treat to watch. It's short and straight to the point explained in an easy, understandable format. This makes me feel a little bit more at ease in pursuing animation with so much great knowledge. Really great job man.

[@RiverSpirit]

Dude, you are amazing for making these videos. I still have a long way to go in animating, and seeing a moving example is extremely helpful. You've earned not only a subscriber, but many more views. :D

[@MJDaBoss]

This is why KZbin makes me sad....good and helpful videos getting less attention than stupid vids..good job dude

[@freedomtheplayer4235]

that's just how the internet works

[@TheMaragorn]

This has to be the best summary of the principles of animation I've come across so far; really short and concise. So, thanks for making this series!

[@SyntekkTeam]

Great series, I watched the whole thing. It's pretty cool how these principles make the animations appear so much more life like. I had previously tried to read through the wikipedia page about this stuff but it was difficult to understand. All the concepts became really clear when watching your videos.

[@galaga00]

Really well made tutorials. I absolutely love how you jump right into it without a bunch of needless fluff. Many other people making videos need to learn how to do this as well!

[@AbrahamAnimations]

This was probably hard for you to make, but I just want to thank you for staying through it. Thank you for making all of us better animators :)

[@GuvernorDave]

As someone with zero interest in becoming an animator I found this series very interesting. I like how much effort has gone into demonstrating each principle several times.

[@130spector]

Just got into animating and I have to say that these are some of the most well constructed tutorials I've seen. It's good that you don't spoon-feed us everything, but give us enough information to play around with it ourselves. Thanks!

[@harrysanders818]

This series covers so much even way beyond animation only. Some fantastic sum ups of very important general art and design principles mentioned on the side. So well compressed. I always come back here occasionally to refresh the input. Invaluable to put that up and very generous. Thanks from the heart for your effort!

[@WobblesandBean]

LOVED this series! It's been about thirteen years since I took animation courses so this is a great refresher.

[@dankwarmouse6248]

It's really impressive how versatile your animation skills are.

[@SirIkeMedia]

Thank you for these! Very educational! :D

[@RemoFiore]

Absolutely awesome series just binged through the whole lot, and subscribed, No doubt come back an watch the whole thing again, just to make sure it sinks in.

[@joelcriddle9369]

All 12 of these were outstanding and very well done. Super Job!!!

[@guy_incognito]

Fantastic series -- I've watched them all several times over. Thank you thank you thank you!

You honestly great at explaining in your tutorial videos and it inspires me to continue with my art hobbies. I only wished these series or tutorials were longer since I surprisingly enjoy watching this a lot! Thanks Alan Becker!

This series was a masterpiece! & thanks for continuing this kind of videos. Can't wait for "Walk & Run Cycles"! :-D

[@karoblazenko]

extremely nicely done! (i mean the whole series) i've been searching for a good video explaining the subject(s), and yours is so far the only one that doesn't have neither extravagant graphic style nor any unnecesary "noise" in narrative, standing in the way. drawings have a perfect balance of simpleness and style, and animations are done perfectly. kudos! and thanks! this helped my presentation about animation, for my kid's elementary school class, a lot! :)

[@megamanhxh]

*sniff* .. *sniff* .. I felt I have learned the whole book just by looking at your videos .. you are the real MVP.

[@headpacked8916]

[@eshan309]

You are such a genius! I already know all the principles, but checked just to know if im missing anything or what this guy has to show. All the vids explained the principles SO MUCH clear that it is impossible to find an alternative to explain these principles now (atleast to me). I will always send everyone who asks about principles of animation. This is pure gold! Much much kudos to you mate. Great job!

[@nixy905]

Thanks Alan! This video series has really helped me! Good luck with your future animations!

I've learnt so much from these videos, honestly thank you Alan :D

[@leedickholtz3147]

Great job Alan. This brings some fresh insight to the 12 principles. Approaching it from the 2D side helps reinforce what I've been learning on the 3D side. Thanks

[@letswatchcartoons181]

Thank you so much for these videos, you are awesome. I have learnt so much. Keep making such stuff!!!

[@sarahmitchell7799]

I'm currently taking a class that is basically just "talking" about animation, and no drawing. I'm expected to write a critique on some early animation in terms of these principles, but my instructor didn't really explain any of it properly. You just saved my grade by taking the time to do this. Very well-done, and I appreciate it!

[@sniele.9799]

You cant imagine how thankful i am for you doing this. Im not kidding when i say i became a whole lot better after watching this :D
