Happy Tuesday! I've got something a little different for you this week based on a convo Spence and I had a few weeks ago. Behind the scenes, Spence has been redesigning our website and we always bounce ideas off one another for the different pages. When it came to our contact page, we were thinking of adding a surprise animation once someone hits 'send', so I put together this quick idea and we both loved it. It'll be a little while before the design is live (since Spence is doing everything from design to code), but I'm already excited for this little plane to take flight on the page.
From this beginner friendly tutorial, you'll learn how to:
✨ Create a foreground animation element
✨ Create and animate a flying paper airplane
✨ Add a dashed line 'flight path' that also animates in
✨ Adjust animation settings + frame rate
✨ Export for social media
Grab the free color palette and brush used above to get started!
I use the Paperlike screen protector on my 3rd gen iPad Pro (12.9", 256GB). More info here: paperlike.com/everytuesday
I'm also using the NimbleGrip by Uppercase on my 2nd gen Apple Pencil. Check it out/pick it up here: every-tuesday.com/grip

[@LeslieGrantlovefaithhope]

This was fun. Not to intimidating!! Can u make more beginner friendly animation tutorials. Also seeing the ending steps would be helpful especially if little considerations need to be made to make the animation work. Thank you great video.

[@cindymew2317]

Snack time! AKA time to draw 🔥

[@glenda7921]

Fun! Great instructions, thank you Teela. I want to share mine to IG, can you tell me the format I should export it as? JPEG PNG and TIFF don’t seem to be working for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@idontknow8011]

In adobe fresco animation path can be done in secs

[@julieflynn4540]

Can you do a video on how to get the animation into instagram on a photo?

[@flowerviolet193]

😍😍😍👏

[@emeeleromes3364]

How many frames you did in totally?? Thanks

[@adrianarichard4973]

Im trying to upload my gif on twitter but it wont send the tweet. Is it because the file is too big? Is there a way to fix this

[@verageorgiou]

you have got me lost.

[@graced3091]

i should have watched this before i started my small animation assignment ._. i did so much unnecessary work 😞😞😞

[@cryingwatercolours8127]

3:09 see I end up making hundreds of these “safety folders” in case I fuck up, rarely use them (unless ofc I don’t have one, then I need it a hundred times) and end up filling the layer limit before I can complete the animation :/

[@JESK55]

Animation Assist?

[@georgeroyle3676]

I’ve reached limits on group layers

[@laurenlentini917]

Is it my imagination, it seems the original airplane quality falls apart with each duplication.

[@antilikka]

I wanna know this too

[@richardxs]

Too complicated for such a simple animation. I miss Macomedia Flash, best 2D animation times over the web.

[@Shirleybird65]

Talklng WAY TOO FAST!!5

[@gayathrieshankar6480]

I tried this today! The video was so simple to follow along and what a satisfying experience! I can now say I've made my own animated GIF! 😁🤍 Thank you so much!

[@EveryTuesday]

Yay! Thanks for watching!
