@@AlexGriggAnimationit’s not just in animation, it seems like something that’s a problem within all visual arts departments. I think the university/college system is detrimental to teaching the visual arts. One artist I knew that used to be a painting professor went so far as to say that you can’t teach people to paint at a high level within the university system. Even the professors have too many obligations and deadlines with too many students to grade. Often professors don’t have time to deeply dive into concepts and practices. Students get pushed through the ringer and it’s not to their benefit. There’s got to be a better way. It makes me sad for all the visual creatives that seek education in that system.

I know this is video on animation, but it was also an amazing example of science communication, when explaining the physics behind motion, you made sure you did not use any physics jargon, nor any complicated maths to demonstrate Newtons laws of motion. This has really inspired me to take the medium of animation to communicate other topics in physics. You are a legend! 👍

Could be controlled by simply dragging and setting relative (multiple) force vectors in the direction of ones liking. Add a acceleration slider (+-) and we'd be golden. Shouldn't be to performance hungry, as the math is pretty simple.

@AlexGriggAnimation2 жыл бұрын
It takes practice, but usually animators break down their subject into simple shapes that they use as a guide (for example- a ball or a box). I think of these shapes a bit like a water balloon because unlike a balloon full of air water balloons don't change volume when you apply force to them, they just change shape. I still struggle with volumes though!

@@SaChInRaJpUt-pc7wp Not all people like reading captions. Even more so when it comes to instructional videos like these. It's much better to have everything in the video in a the viewer's native language. This partial language barrier plays a large role in pushing me away from Domestica's courses, since I don't understand Spanish. This is specifically my preference for instructional content, as opposed to entertainment, where I'd prefer hearing the original language, since that is part of the original performance made by the actors.

ok ok, but look... Let's say that I'm animating on 3's at 24 FPS, if I want to create a 10 seconds animation, I need in total 240 poses. How does this works exactly ??? Like, if I'm posing my characters every 3 frames, the spacing will happen between these frames ??? I'm getting really confused because I'm not very good at managing speed in animation because I'm always posing every 3 frames, but them the speed doesn't change and I get confused because if I want to animate on 3's I can't put spacing between those and I start to freak out PLS HELP!!!! Ps: I don't know if it makes sense, if it doesn't, sorry :/
@AlexGriggAnimation2 жыл бұрын
Oh interesting question! If you're animating on 3s and animating 10 seconds you'll only have 80 poses/frames. You won't put inbetweens between those because it would mean you would be animating on ones. Essentially you'd be animating at 8frames per second. Does that make sense?
@MsMuruthi2 жыл бұрын
@@AlexGriggAnimation so does that means my main poses will be at 8 frames, but when it comes to spacing, it will be 3 frames ?? The space between each pose is 8 frames?
@preetamdhar152 жыл бұрын
Hey Brian, there are two things at play here in the question that you asked. Frames and drawings. For animating in 3s, it means each drawing is held for 3 frames, which implies you have 8 drawings per second (or per 24 frames). As for choosing the spacing of the poses, that basically means choosing the spacing of each drawing and not the frames on the timeline. For example, let's say I want to animate a car starting it's engine and moving ahead on 3s at 24fps. For my first frame, the car is static. This drawing is held for 3 frames. On the 4th frame, I change the position of the car slightly (which means, it's a new pose for the car). This drawing is again held for three frames. So on the 7th frame, I again change the position of the car a little, but this time I make the distance between the drawing on frame 7 and frame 4 more than the distance between the drawings on frame 4 and frame 1. This means my car is accelerating. So even though the frames on the timeline are evenly spaced (in this case, each drawing is held for 3 frames), the actual distance between each drawing changes, which is what Alex was saying in his video. I really hope I could help and didn't confuse you further.
@AlexGriggAnimation2 жыл бұрын
Ah! I think I understand now. Yes, Spacing only refers to screen space, not the distance between keys in the timeline. In retrospect I should have been clearer about that during the lesson. I cover it in detail in class two though so hopefully there's some helpful info in that vid.

ok guys, I think I get it. I get confused with spacing and inbetweens. I still don't know exactly how the timeline is supposed to look like.
