Reacting to My Worst Animation

[@StrawberryCakeStudiosYT]

I love this, the look in your eye at your older animations / flip books is EVERYTHING to another artist who wants to start up. Especially since I’ve been drawing for years but never wanted to consider doing it on a platform until three years ago. Inspirational. :)

[@neoworldlee]

Darn, if that's your worst, I wonder what mine would be Edit: MAN, HOW DID I GET 450 LIKES??? MY FIRST ANIMATION WAS THE STORY OF A BALL

[@gamers.inc28]

Trust me bro it would be 1 million times better than mine

[@josue8155]

Yeah i wonder

I'll have to a look at your work to see

I was halfway through making an animation I thought was ok, but it's not even nearly as good as his.

[@SemiQuiet26]

Imagine visiting your loving parents for some flipbooks and leaving pretty much immediatelt afterwards 😂

[@pokechatter]

And doing so repeatedly.

[@wooftamer532]

Exactly what I was thinking 😂😂

Lol yeah, He definitely had to say hi to his parents behind the scenes.

[@veronicas19]

He flew to a place for like 5 horrible flip books and to spend more money flying again.

[@thales1]

Apart from the fact that they are far from being bad, I love how you care about your early projects and are proud of what you’ve done. A lot of artists underestimate their first creations, but those are the ones who led them to improvement and I can see how you know their importance to you career and life as an artist. Your videos are the best and I admire you a lot!

Thank you 😊

The best part about Andy's videos is that he is humble. He is a human. He is real, and it shows. He doesn't superstar people. He is just a guy doing what he loves and it's inspiring.

[@jmcsflem]

It was cool to see the old stomping grounds. I remember seeing a few of those old flip books. It’s so cool to see where those took you.

the fact that andy’s worst is a decillion times better than my best is unfathomable

[@agcrazystudios5199]

I am an aspiring animator, every time I watch one of your videos I want to just go and animate something. What you said at the end really resonated with me. Just keep trying every day. That’s what I’ll do. I’ve actually made quite a few stop motions that are on my channel but I really want to do drawing animation. I’m not that good at drawing animation yet. But I gotta keep trying 😁 Thank you for inspiring me! -Zoe

[@andymation]

Thanks Zoe! 👊

[@Lee_nas]

Zoe I would recommend using an app called flip a clip as a little beginner tutorial/use for drawing animation once you feel good with it start trying on paper. I've been using it for about a year really helpful.

the early claymation tests give strong old claymation christmas special vibes

This is solid proof of just how much you've improved throughout your journey as an animator. It's most certainly something worth being proud of.

This is one of my favourite videos of yours... please consider doing more stop-motion oriented stuff since you never fail to inspire and motivate me (although I'll still continue re-watching your wonderful retrospectives and reflections either way) - wonderful stuff!

[@ashleyr6809]

The flipbooks that you did when you were a kid are so cute. I would love to watch a video with flipbooks done by little kids. They would be so cute.

Ah, I love seeing your old flipbooks! It’s so interesting to see which type of cards/paper you used to use for making the flipbooks :)

Me thinking that Bob is better animation then I will ever be able to do while Andy keeps criticizing himself on how bad it is.

[@bevgordon7619]

Andyman!! You are sooo great! 8:33 reminded me of this. Bit of background first. I just watched your Wonderfull visit Peter Lord. Delightfull!! He mentioned influences* from outside the UK. And not mentioned was NFB. National Film Board, Canada. (My home) Decades of animation viewable to one and all via their website. Okay, here’s what 8:33 The Fishing Line reminded me about. One of NFB’s short animations had a scene where a little kid was jumping up. The trick used was clear plexiglas blocks stacked taller and taller, elevating the kid. ( * forgot to mention Wind and the Willows animation tv series from Cosgrove&Hall are superb animations )

[@kabrommer]

i love that you show a lot of nostalgic stuff! Keep up the good work!!!!

[@okstopmotion5041]

Dude your first armature animation was amazing!

[@spookyactionatadistance]

Andy that was great! When you were working on walking early on I loved the one where he gives up halfway and then exits down stage towards the camera! Just loved it. Guffawed out loud -thank you 🤍⚜️🐚

[@pink_Panther_YTP]

My honest question is where did you get bob

[@stevenhazelwood3066]

I would LOVE to see the worst flip book with 2 new copies. The first just being remastered on new flip book paper. The second is showing you add the extra frames in to make it an Andy-2023 piece of work. Hell, step three, 3d model that ;) Keep it up! You have all the drawing ability I lack 😂

[@Sharkacy]

Dang, you have grown so much since I have last watched you!! I remember finding your channel at 1 million, and loving you videos and they only get better! Keep it up

[@robertbutler9326]

Hi, Andy. I’m Bob - seriously, that’s my name. I enjoy watching all that you create, and how it has improved over the years. Since I was a young Army Brat, one of my interests has been animation, stop motion, and motion technology. I guess that’s what got me into my career over the last 43+ years - broadcast television engineering. Last year, my wife gave me one of your flip book kits for Christmas. Love it, by the way. I am interested in what equipment and software you use. Particularly, I want to know about the camera, the stand/holder you use to keep your camera steady, and if you use Premier Pro for creating stop motion. I’m just a 60-something trying to find a creative outlet. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Bob.

[@LoganBrickfilms]

You should make a video where you do a stop motion with lego, thats what i do and I think it would be really interesting to see you try it!

[@LilXavier15]

Andymation. Your flipbooks/stopmotion are the best. You improved ur animations/stopmotion. Im happy for you :D

[@glenjamindle]

Are those stop motion puppets home made, hand made, store bought...? I don't understand how they work

[@derpepic.offical]

Hand made my the company maybe?

[@monhi64]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Like it seems clear that Andy wasn’t modeling the faces, they’re too good but he doesn’t mention anything about that. My best guess is he’s just switching out premade faces

[@blaze-jb4xz]

It's not the worse but better than if you couldn't at all

[@kayla389]

I have a question: How do you animate with figure stand of some sort and get that stand to not show up in the shot?

[@AKITARESCUEUK]

Bro I love his animation of the stick figures 😂🎉🎉

[@gamedev3220]

There are no such thing of bad animations, the only time they are bad is when you lose the dedication and determination to animate. After all there’s no wrong way of art

[@lawrenceorji9138]

Why can't we appreciate that he swallowed the camera twice?

[@islandgrovestudios]

DUDE! One of my first flip books was a skateboarder on a half pipe too LOL that's awesome. Love revisiting old stuff from when I was a kid. Looking back in retrospect is both humbling and rewarding of how far we've come.

[@caoistico669]

the stop motion not beeing smoth makes it better in my eyes at least, it makes it looks chopier, but fun
