2 New iPad Animation Apps - Callipeg & Looom

[@MminaMaclang]

"It doesn't feel like an animation app but a video game" -- me as a 5-year-old with access to MS Paint, and using the freeform marquee tool to select and color in abstract art.

[@imacverde3260]

Isn't it nice! While I'm using it I love to realize: Wow! A bunch of guys including kids did this! Feel so grateful to be tought by kids :)

[@SirusStarTV]

MsPaint was our imagination playground

[@Callipeg]

Thank you for this review, Brad! Video import is indeed in beta testing and will be released soon.

[@thebradcolbow]

Can't wait!

[@BelaCurcio]

Any idea on how soon audio is coming? That would really make you guys a better option than procreate!!

[@toontales2479]

Just want u guys to know ur app doesn’t run well on the iPad 7th gen i would totally use it but as of now it just doesn’t work well on my iPad Still seems like a great app can’t wait for it to hopefully work better on my iPad

[@mathieutdf5446]

I'm so glad your app is blowing up!!

if u own an apple u should get used to giving out money

[@jdodson4421]

ProCreate is still worth the purchase, though!

[@matthewwong3948]

Still worth purchase! The art tools are bae

[@ItachiUchiha-gf4fz]

If you want to animate I recommend to start with procreate. If you're really digging into animation, go get a computer and download a full size animation program

[@keanuestorco384]

Lowkey regret getting my XP Pen 12 pro 😞 .. should’ve got an iPad instead. Procreate and other iPad apps look fun to draw on especially with the Paperlike screen

[@WalidNaima]

I’ve got the XP Pen 12 Pro and the iPad Pro and honestly the iPad pro is just so much versatile. My workflow has never been better

[@kruemelmonster1568]

I personally hate drawing on the iPad. But everyone has their own preferences

[@nlmlkadhsu1868]

Don't worry you ain't missing out anything. In fact you probably might hate the iPad like I did and just stick with PC

[@SNewindraty]

Dear Brad... just felt like letting you know, you’ve inspired me to learn how to draw digitally. Born in 1969, I’m always the oldest in any online/whatsapp program... and I get embarrassed sometimes. But I don’t want to ever look back and think “I wonder or what if...”. So thanks. Your video’s are awesome and done is such a way that it’s not intimidating for me. GBU

[@imacverde3260]

I just finished watching the video and went directly to the appstore for Looom. It is a joy to animate, specially as I've seen the frame by frame struggle method. "...until you use it". Yes, we have to use our brain right side to quit thinking the linnear way. Thanks! You deserve to get your first 1M subscribers soon.

[@dnghn.design]

I rly want to use looom but I already asked ny mom for procreate and got it so i don't have the audacity to ask for more

[@paulashinn]

Honestly Brad, just how do you do so much?? Courses, constant reviews with unique arts or animations in each! Please do a "productivity review" one day! Hahahah I think I may learn something with you on that!

Oh I see so many applications for Looom. You could export your loom animations into another animation app and do all the fancy linework and stuff there lickety-split!! It's so quick and easy it seems like a perfect way to work on little pieces of your rough pass for a larger animation. It doesn't have to be perfect because you're just laying out the idea anyway. This is DOPE

[@artbybenjamin]

Not into animating, but it's still interesting to see what's being released on the Ipad. Great video.

[@dnghn.design]

Looom is fun

[@SketchySpriggan]

I'm a beginner in animation and knowing there is a lot of choices of animation software feels really great so thanks for the review Brad

[@helgatoterbaum]

Callipeg seems pretty nice, reminds me of roughanimator but with more brushes which is priceless. roughanimator is so far the best non-professional program for frame-by-frame animating in terms of functions: it's simple, it has multiple tracks, it lets you do lipsync. the brushes however are disastrous so there s no chance to make an esthetic film on it. i do hope Callipeg will make it to the leading position on the market, it seems very clever..

[@tallkevin01]

Those look great for hand-drawn animation. I'd also like to see a great iPad app for cut-out style animation.

[@meaningoflife7199]

ToonSquid finally came 😁

[@tallkevin01]

[@kaidowind2370]

Great video Brad!! Love these apps, Looom is really fun. Loved your animation course btw, super helpful and inspiring!

[@boblatzer]

AD Classic is the traditional animation app I use on the iPad. It is full featured as well.

[@SunTwos]

Thank you for covering these 2 apps! I have watched Callipeg tutorial before by the French developer and first impression is - it is like more advanced Procreate! I haven't bought it yet but seems pretty powerful indeed. I also tried Looom recently and - wow it is something unique ineed! The thing you can draw "live" and you get the generated animated drawings "floating" so easily is amazing! But - it somehow makes my iPad pro (2018) super hot right away, like Procreate did it before (for me) but they fixed it, so this is what's stoping me from using it as I'm not sure if the heat is good for my iPad... I wonder if anyone else is having this issue with Looom.

[@meadowmint8646]

Tbh I’ll pay anything over subscription, Im not into pay a company repeatedly unless they are constantly updating major updates. Glad they have the option

[@jlinus7251]

At this stage I kinda still prefer rough animator, cause I need those audio files for my projects. But I might try Callipeg if they add the audio and video feature

[@diegoproductions7926]

I used RoughAnimator for over a year on my iPad, but it’s awesome to see more new options coming out!

[@fandrawerNgundam]

yesss finally a callipeg review from brad!

[@fandrawerNgundam]

Thanks a lot!

[@tressymart]

Thank you so much for this video, i recently ordered my ipad pro and I'm happy to see that there is a more professional animation app for it. Great review

[@TerminalJack505]

I noticed that the Callipeg app's brush strokes were wobbly before you mentioned it. Kind of surprising for an iPad app.

[@kylalalohav4720]

Thank you Brad for this review! I’ll definitely check these apps out :)

[@keepitfashion]

Love you Brad thanks for reviewing these 2 new apps

[@Annimations]

If you did an animation pro course i would worship you. The program looks so powerful but learning it is soooo hard

[@estycki]

Thank you :) I don't have any education in animation, I've only played around in drawing frame by frame or tweening in Flash, but when I looked up "audio" syncing in old style traditional animation is... you don't have any audio either... duh you just had cell sheets... but you have a sort of guide/chart/track read (dope sheet???) that indicates what happens during which frame (what action, sound, or mouth movement etc). If anyone knows how to do this the old fashioned way, marking the sound / time maybe you can explain this better than I can.

[@Sebastianandthedeepbluemusic]

Ruff animator is cool and has layers and keyframes and all that. This new one looks rad too.

[@Kavlor1]

Rough Animator I don't believe has keyframes.

[@RayLux]

So Looom just automates animation out of the doodles you make. Definitely a fun toy. Not bad for 10 bucks. Especially if it inspires any complete beginners to take their animation to the next level... using a proper animation tool like Calipeg perhaps haha.

[@selfconscience]

Looom looks awesome. Animation apps should gravitate towards that idea.

[@MuArt242]

I think I’ll wait a few months before testing/buying Calipeg. It looks extremely promising and professional.

[@thatsagoodone8283]

Thanks! I checked out callipeg! Its a lot of fun! :-D I know, why I keep subscribed and watch your stuff. Always a joy. I wonder, how hard it is to draw some stuff on callipeg and use the animation in other programs like Blender later.

[@iqlj]

I love your style brad! your awesome!

[@coffeecuprobot2802]

I’d be curious your thoughts on roughanimator. I ‘ve used it a few times for work and though it was great! Seen some others do amazing animations with it and it’s cheap. Doesn’t look very polished at all (in regards to UI) but functional I got along with it great.

[@frigidwolf]

CoffeeCupRobot I agree! All animations I've posted are done with RoughAnimator, it’s great but I'm sure Callipeg is going to be better, I'd really want it but 50 € is too much for an ipad app, also I can’t stand subscriptions

[@SureshKumarmb]

Thanks, you have been my iPad guru!

[@kalvinabro7130]

Love this guy honesty

[@teouratadze]

This is the best explanation of Looom, as a different app. People don't get the point, that some apps don't have to be the same. I mean, there should be a place for such innovations like Looom. it's not Adobe animation or other professional program. It's another genre !

[@thebradcolbow]

Well said!

[@akhardwicke]

Brad, thar high shutter speed on your camera is stopping your hands from blurring when they move fast, so it's looking like they blink in and out of existence.

[@sohhaosean]

Dear Brad, can you decrease the shutter speed on your camera? The high shutter speed is causing pretty heavy jitter in your movements.

[@marcodimario9918]

Hello :) Thanks a lot for this awaited review! About "Looom"...check an App called "Craft Pro: Paint & Draw fast" from the artist Borodante (Daniel Sherekyn). He invented this kind of revolutinaty UI for iPad Apps ;) Before any other apps.

[@imacverde3260]

Is it for animation? I understand it's not. Doesn't even uses layers Uh?!

[@marcodimario9918]

@@imacverde3260 No. It's "barebone" yet. But it's a sort of prototype of what a true modern UI SHOULD be for the iPad :) I hope that some day some big softwarehouse (Savage for example) will take inspiration from the WONDERFUL job that Borodante did with that UI/UX

Go if you have the $. If don't, do as me: a nice case even to carry the pencil. Also I'm using an old iMac's wireless keyboard. I guess this is way better -beside it is cheapper, as you get total mobility: lay on bed or watever. I'm trying to get rid of the laptop style.

Apple pencil supports palm rejection, right? So why do you still use those gloves when you use the Apple Pencil on the iPad in most of your videos? Looking forward to your reply.

It has a good palm rejection, but it's still not perfect. The glove is more to avoid smudges on the screen. and that you slide your hands better.
