Really happy for you you're able to get yourself some sponsorships! Keep it going

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much for understanding😅

I think you should make merch that just says "we always label our layers".

This is genius, haha :)

Ben: I'm going to show you how to animate a flame Me: Okay, that's pretty neat, I'm excited for - Ben: Then create this burning effect by LITERALLY SETTING THE FRAMES ON FIRE Me: ........ one sec I need some popcorn.

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying it 😊

[@TRIPTISHARMA-qs3sj]

@@BenMarriott this! I honestly thought the details for each frame and color is so much left now pheww... until he brought the candle in

[@pinkwarrior988]

Here's what I pulled from this-- when animating, analyze the specific movement pattern and shape of the animated thing, and a base print always helps. Really helpful!

[@Workbenchtv]

It's always fun when you end up printing something out and bringing it back in! I love stuff like this.

[@mattcurr9931]

all we need is evan abrams and we got my 3 fave AE tutors right here (sorry, Kramer, you're more a VFX live action guy)

[@Workbenchtv]

@@mattcurr9931 Thanks!

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much :D I'm pretty much looking for excuses to do it these days :)

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks @Matt Curr :) Normally we need to wait until the equinox for Evan to join, haha

[@keithen7909]

It took me several days to get the hang of it, but I realize that this is just a small part of an entire animation career

[@niamhoconnor5526]

Was literally trying to do this today and struggling but this really helps. Also the burnt page stop motion looks v nice to me, good idea!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you! I'm glad I could help in a small way😊

[@thorfly22]

Really not only a tutorial, an artist experimentation! Thanks, always trying to learn. hugs from Brazil!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@HDawg26]

I've been watching your videos since you started them and I'm very happy to see how much your channel has grown over the months! Keep it up Ben!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much for the support right from the beginning, man, i really appreciate it :)

[@nghbrhood6848]

You know what it’s missing? Your signature character eyes 👀 Otherwise, you’re amazing for taking the time to burn the frames on real paper. 🤯

[@rufocs686]

I was like 'oh nice, I'll watch the tut and see how good it is'. Then I got instantly sold it out with the intro. Awesome video!

[@StacyBias]

Thanks! I learned a whole new plugin and was able to animate the fire in my logo with your help! In one afternoon! So pleased and appreciative!

[@rho-starmkl4483]

Look at what you’ve done! Now the animators have to draw all this fire!

[@gamelovercool3594]

This mans intro is legit!!!!!

[@phillipprater9837]

I thought I had escaped math but I guess I gotta use calculus whenever I draw a flame or a cape in the wind

[@vassilykoloskov8707]

definitely worthwhile, thanks for taking the time to do that!

[@Nightshadow965]

Looking to get iPad at some point to try my hand at hand-drawn animation and your tutorials are both helpful, and inspirational! 👍🏻

[@Dhruv1223]

Now this is a tutorial. Most other toon flame tutorials here on youtube are After Effects "Do this, enter this value, do that, theres a flame" with no explanation for why something is being done. Basically creating a massive army of unskilled labor and not artists.

[@HelamanGile]

This looks really good

[@twinspired537]

I always have trouble animating effects straight ahead, even though that's the recognised method, but for some reason it never occurred to me to map out the wave motion beforehand as a guide! Thanks for opening my eyes to that possibility! I don't think I'm going to be setting fire to my frames though, haha :)

[@missham]

wow you put a lot of efforts just for this fire animation and now i know why your designs are so unique!! thanks for sharing different ideas and methods! i really love your experiments and learn a lot of things 😍

[@HoangNguyen-fw2vs]

The effort though!! Thankiuuu Ben for the tips

Haha, fingers crossed :)

[@TheStranger1337]

keep being an awesome pyromancer! thanks a lot. that was great!

[@HelamanGile]

Awesome thanks for the video

[@kieran9396]

a really cool idea! For me i think the only reason the end result looked a bit odd was that it was too abstracted, and there was no environmental context for it (maybe some logs underneath it or a fireplace around it would've helped idk i dont wanna backseat design though it still looked good)

[@alfredsnuggetss9800]

This was very helpful,thx

[@parkerjohnson5270]

Hey just a thought, you should start putting the logo of whatever software the tutorial uses in the corner of your thumbnails! This would make it easy to quickly sort through your videos

[@Soroboruo]

It's definitely a fascinating experiment, even if the results weren't quite what you expected. It's a good learning experience, right? Speaking of learning experience, I wish your series was around when I was learning animation, because fire was one of the hardest FX for me and you break it down so beautifully here, it's helped a ton.

[@celo2043]

Looks awesome!

[@RipRoaringGarage]

I did this looong ago (maybein the 90s? yeah..ok boomer), but I used a small soldering torch for the burn effects. It would scorch well before setting on fire. If I was to do it again, I would use some Nitrogen (from a mig) and fill the area and then bring the flame down. Im curious how the naturally snuffing flame (from the N2) would look. I can't call myself an animator, but every few years I do a project...(doing one now, which might end up a trend in my vids, because working on pieces of junk with a crippled and broken spine wasnt hard enough...) It was a cool flame. And I understand why you dont post the final product. People steal everything...

Hey Ben, great video. If you're ever thinking of ideas for videos, I'd love to hear your thoughts on steps that can be taken to give a motion design project a cohesive overall look.

[@l_a_i_n]

Frame by frame is not the easiest method. I think you can do this animation entirely in AE and it will look the same

[@televisionkid7783]

omg thank you!!!

I think it turned out really nice.. I'm trying to do this but in stop motion for my cave fire scene.. look ing for a way to guide me to create the right shapes for the wool or wire I'm using...

I can not get the wave to loop, any one have an idea what I could be doing wrong?

[@Sebastian-pl8fv]

hey man how are you ? great videos, I mainly animate in Toon Boom, and I was wondering if you know how to add diferent textures to the color layers, because I actually have no Idea. cheers

[@deebsanimation2804]

Maybe a silly question but is there a way to insert a frame between 2 existing frames in Animdessin2? The "create InBetween" button just seems to stick a new frame at the end of my timeline no matter where the playhead is or what clips are selected. Do we really have to drag and drop new frames from the end to the place we need them?

[@autumncat8706]

Hm i don't know what it is but it's not waving it's just going up kind of like stop motion? Any tips
