How to Add LIGHT to Your Animations

[@mayragarciaadame4744]

It’s absolutely breathtaking to see how much effort, passion and time you devote to your work and self development as an artist. It is extremely motivational to see someone around my age be so dedicated and self-motivated in a creative field.

[@РустамДиванныйвоин]

The beginning of the video is amazing and breathtaking!

[@luks303]

In my opinion Makoto Shinkai kinda overuses the lens flare effect too Great video btw, we are basically getting free classes from a pro, I couldn't be more grateful for finding your channel, it helps me a lot

[@tomixparker3126]

Nah man, animators avoid it cuz it's basically difficult to do in 2d animation. Lens flare adds realism and beauty to shots which makoto perfectly understands

[@orion7007]

so he's like the animator version of J.J. Abrams

[@ashishbenmoncy2147]

@@tomixparker3126 so true. Shinkai has mastered the art of recreating lens effects on 2d animations

[@paxtonpowell7367]

Dude. Your channel is UNREAL. I’m learning so much and finding tons of inspiration and passion. Really impressed with how much work you put into this. 🤘🏼

[@HowardWimshurst]

thank you very much!

[@arnavdeepsingh3294]

I am still shocked how you have so less subscribers. You should have a 1 million at least. I hope more people can get access to your work. 👍

[@justusvega]

Recently came across your channel and have been thoroughly appreciating all of the content you've shared. You are very willing to dive into your more complex problem solving experiences and that is extremely insightful. Thank you for your contributions to the animation community!

[@farley333]

I'm not an animator. I'm too colorblind for that, but I love the field and I have to agree, Your Name was absolutely unbelievable film. Just beautiful. :)

[@HowardWimshurst]

you could animate in black and white no problem. you could hire a colourist if you felt like it holds you back

[@DBZeek]

Im colorblind too, it makes the process taken a little longer, but creating your color pallets and writing down color codes will make it to where you can animate in color no problem

[@ukulily8211]

We missed this one when it came out, but we're gonna watch it now! Been so hectic with the album release, thanks again Howard for your amazing work. Hope to work together again soon. Cheers

YOUR INTERPRETATION OF UKU & LILY IS VERY BRILLIANT

[@Infa-N8]

Thank goodness you made this video, just in time for the animation I'm working on in the monthly challenge on the Animator guild!

[@joshbenn3079]

This is so helpful, I can see why animations needed some lighting, Please make a tutorial about how to add light in after effects or how you animate them, especially on the composition and transition light effects like on the clouds you did in after effects, and the Photoshop as well

[@loisdifonzo]

haven't even watched it to the end and I'm already glad i clicked on this, thank you:)

[@prabhleensingh4748]

Thanks! I was just reading the animators survival kit when this dropped!

[@blacksmith9873]

I'll be honest at first I didn't take this guys seriously, but over the years he's become a beast holy shit.

[@RickyHawkinsPaintings]

Wow! I've tried changing blending modes when painting light in photoshop, but I never thought about changing the hue of the color, definitely going to try that now! Love your videos!

[@Novstie]

I absolutely love watching the process of your work and hearing your tips. I'm mostly self taught in animation, so there are a lot of things I don't really know about it; and the videos you make are genuinely helpful! Also: How can you make/add a soft blending brush into animate? I've always wanted to try having softer shading in animation, but I'm not sure if it's possible- (if exclusively done in animate?)

[@HowardWimshurst]

thank you so much! As far as I know, you can't really recreate a softbrush / textured brush in flash. That was one of my biggest reasons for making the change to TVPaint

[@Novstie]

@@HowardWimshurst alright, thanks for the info!

[@a_creatorsstuff17]

actualy, lens flares are super comon in glass and water droplets, i first noticed this before knowing what a lens flare is, i was really young, but i was curious and kinda "studied it" (i was that curious), i was on a pool and was wearing swimming googles and the droplets in them as i was out of the water did them, and i noticed depending on angle, quantity of water, location and a lot more, changed the flare so much, from its shape to its color even, i been low key interested in the variety and creativity one can be with them ever since and i must say, i seen everithing from lines, exagons, circles and worms/letters... and i dont think i seen half of what one can do

Your computer will struggle, not gonna lie. Work with 720p video files, set preview display at a quarter resolution and don't run any other apps at the same time.
