Your examples are a great reminder that animation isn't always about making something move but making it alive. You do an astounding job of that with very little motion.

[@Edyremoh]

Seeing the suction cups stretch was on par with the feeling of rubbing a cat’s belly.

[@KelanHordos]

Haha, thanks!

[@isabellacrump103]

[@KelanHordos]

[@qnefe1977]

i hope i have portfolio like this one day. It looks fantastic

[@_kaleido]

Your stuff is so cool!

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks!

[@olutalaisam]

May I ask how many months did you spend on the octopus animation in this 0:37 timecode?

[@KelanHordos]

Hmm...that's a good question. It was a while ago so I don't remember exactly. There was an earlier version of the shot that I did pretty early on when I was learning to animate, I would say I probably worked on that for a few weeks, doing versions, getting feedback and fixing stuff to learn from it. Then I came back and redid it using what I had learned and the earlier version as a basis, and that was probably a week, maybe a week and a half to redo.

[@BerryStudio11]

damn the first squid part really got me 😂 the fluidity is insane. Great job!

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks kindly!

[@antonioescamoso7]

What a beautiful portfolio. I loved the effort you put into the actions and lineart. Keep trying, your animations will take you far. 😊 By the way, the octopus is my favorite character keke 👍

[@murwur]

Some animators be on another level. Simply Meaning they can't be compared with Michael Angelo or davinci or any illustrator

[@pattamahomrod]

This is ridiculously good!! So inspiring omg

[@KelanHordos]

Thank you very much!

[@rafagamez_art]

WOW!

[@ilragazzointerdetto]

truly inspiring!

[@AaryaKalyansunder]

These are sooooo good! The acting,movement and expressions are so lovely! If you dont mind me asking, how long did each shot take from start to cleanup? :D

[@MisanthropyPure]

Man you are good at this

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks!

[@ArditB2006]

Thanks a lot :)

[@nguyenduyhai7181]

good job!

[@SteakstixAnimations]

Some of the greatest animation i've seen. Completely mesmerizing stuff. What was that last shot with the rocks from, cause that was the dopest shit ever haha

[@KelanHordos]

It is not from anything actually! It was a concept piece I worked on for my brother(his overall idea, which grew more elaborate as we progressed, haha!) while I was learning to animate.

[@SteakstixAnimations]

@@KelanHordos oh wow that’s great! Definitely gotta keep that concept in your pocket in case you ever get to use it for a project 😎

[@worksofarn429]

Your animations are really gooood😍😍😍

Thank you!

This is insane

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks!

[@eugeniatellerrios9120]

Where you able to find jobs with rough animations on your reels? I'm applying to internships and I put some rough animations on my reel but I have been rejected to one of them and idk if it is because the animation isn't finish.

[@KelanHordos]

Hi Eugenia, do you mean rough animation as in not "clean up" or rough animation as in like first passes of rough that are not tied down? Just want to make sure we are using the terms the same

[@mayyu_arts]

I can keep seeing that octopus walking in loop and i think you should do it and make lofi playlist !! it will be a ka-ching!!!😁

[@KelanHordos]

I'm not entirely sure how that works, but I will consider it, haha.

[@redinbernado8081]

awsme

[@DennisTamayo]

You did the animation on Green Eggs & Ham: The Second Serving for Netflix at Yowza! Animation.

[@ilariacividini4299]

These are amazing! Are most of them at 30 fps, 30 drawings per second?

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks very much! These are all at 24 fps, and mostly on "2s" with occasional 1s for fast movement. 2s, 1s etc is how many frames each drawing is on screen for. So if there is 24 frames per second on 2s, there are 12 drawings per second. You can use the comma and period key I think to go frame by frame on KZbin and see each frame.

[@ilariacividini4299]

Thanks for the answer! :) I also animate on 2s mostly, for slow movements. I asked because your animations looks so smooth and I thought you used a different technique😂you rock

[@KelanHordos]

@@ilariacividini4299 thanks a lot! Usually the feeling of smoothness comes down to the spacing being right for the movements along with control of the volumes/forms and the right number of in-betweens.

[@kjisfdiiuyt]

very nice work!

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks!

[@aimerboy69]

NICE WORK

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks!

[@marielchavez6337]

how do you make it so smooth?! Ive tried and iv'e studied about the principles so many times but I just seem to still be slacking! Any tips?! I am a student Animator trying to be as good as you!

[@antonioescamoso7]

Hello Mariel. One suggestion I can give is to apply these 5 animation principles: • Timing and spacing; • Slow in and slow out; • Straight ahead and pose to pose; • Arcs; • Staging These principles are the technical part of animation, which helps with the quality of the animation and helps you plan how the animation will work. The rest of the principles are the visual part of the animation like squash and stretch and etc... I hope this helped, as I had the same problem.

[@MatthewDavidson-ek6xw]

Your animations look similar to Charlie Downs and John Pomeroy.

[@KelanHordos]

Thanks a lot Matthew! :)

[@MatthewDavidson-ek6xw]

​@@KelanHordos Your welcome.

[@MattEldritchHorror]

What are the little symbols that pop in and out during the demo reel?

[@KelanHordos]

Those are timing charts, you can find some videos explaining them in more detail on KZbin.

[@user-ph4bq4pj4e]

I want to use it in a school project, can I use it? Or is it copyrighted?

[@KelanHordos]

Well, I would own the copyright, but it is a personal, not commercial project. Could you elaborate on what you would use it for? As long as you credit me I would most likely be happy to give permission for anything as long as it's appropriate.

[@user-ph4bq4pj4e]

@@KelanHordos I did mine, next time it might be necessary, but thanks for answering!

[@Semy_04]

Hello! I am looking for an animator for my project and I was wondering if you are interested in joining?

[@KelanHordos]

Hello, sorry I missed responding to this! Generally it's better to send inquiries to my email. Hope the project was/is going well! Thanks kindly.
