Hi 👋 No problem!

[@worcestershiresauce6377]

great video Guldies, you are the best animator in the universe, I know that sounds cheesy but it's true

[@hman2912]

Amazing work bro

[@fangmax5713]

[@deadpoobob]

Hey new animators, just a quick heads up! Walk cycles are often one of the first thing people do, but they'll never stop being a challenge. Even well established animators still need to put a lot of thought and effort into creating a walk cycle, because there's so many possibilities and a walk can say a lot about a characters' personality. So if you find yourself struggling, keep your chin up! It's part of the process.

[@KoniWorx]

And you'll make LOTS of these haha!

[@Firuladorzxim]

Hello Guldies I'm Brazilian and I'm writing this through the translator lol I hope you understand, I've been watching your videos since I was a child and the last time I watched your video was 7 years ago and today I remembered you

[@Firuladorzxim]

I hope you understood this because I may not have written it correctly

[@Firuladorzxim]

I hope you see this too bye

[@christhebirb]

Nothing better than a stop motion sensei teaching future generations of animators! Thanks for all you do, Alex!

[@leg00s324]

9:04 that laugh is contagious

[@nebuluari]

This is such a wonderful tutorial! I can’t wait to get back to animating stop motion. Your videos are super inspiring!

[@Guldies]

That's so nice to hear! Thank you and good luck!

[@joshuakirkham9593]

The complexity within this short timeloop is incredible.

[@goshtoav9374]

Tjena Guldies. Jag minns när jag var liten och såg dina gamla animationer. De som va väldigt läskiga ibland. Denna kanal skapade mycket nostalgi för mig och säkert många andra

[@YayaFeiLong]

For those of you who don't have Premiere or Photoshop (which should be EVERYONE after the recent Adobe ToS changes) you can do the editing with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP instead

[@youretalkingtoacat2041]

Hi guldies! Ive been watching you since highschool like 10 years ago lol. Im gonna be a mom now and it's nice still seeing you do what you love! I love your art style, story lines and claymation. More power to youuuu 💕

[@JenniferatHome]

Fabulous!! 😁👏👏💛 I’m truly impressed by your work! Great job!!! 💛👏👏👏😁

[@the_green_cloud]

thank you for sharing! i didn't know how much editing was needed to go into this.

[@knightlyanimation]

Thanks bro, I'm an aspiring stop motion animator myself. and this really helps, more tutorials if you can man.

[@SuperRamtin]

Even as a brickfilmer, this still kind of helps! Thank you.

[@Guldies]

Animation is animation! Happy to help!

[@maxfrench864]

[@ry25_x]

Congrats on being a KZbinr for about 14 years!! your animations are really cool!!

[@gigel743]

I am subscribed since before you made an youtube account. From this position i can certainly say that your art is amazing and never stop what you are doing.

[@randomwarehousestudiosissorad]

Wow! This is incredible and extremely helpful! Thank you for making this tutorial! Great job!

[@CinnamonToastKing]

God the process is so amazing! Great commentary and again watching if not just a small bit of what goes into your work is astonishing!

[@Guldies]

Thank you so much :) so happy you like!

[@happysuperman4649]

Hello, I am a beginner. I have three questions to ask: (1) You were using Premiere and Photoshop to delete " Rig", right ? (2) Why just using Premiere only to delete Rig ? (3) Doesn't Dragon Frame have functions to delete "Rig" ? Thank you very much !

[@robinv9075]

I love your videos! What you do is great

[@blabberink]

It is so cool to see the process in this way!

[@seanbridge8390]

Good job, well done. Load of time spent on your part. Great share. +10

[@SimplyAnimated-Official]

[@wildawild4699]

Cool! Helpful to know what to move to look like the clay is walking! (:

[@Guldies]

So happy it was helpful for you :)

[@gauravgambhirsonowal6042]

[@XAVIERCUERVO]

[@matshiob]

Love this type of content from you! Legend ❤

[@SANi.....]

man i feel sad how you make videos that have effort worth of millions views but you barely get under 1m views now. keep up brotha dont let your views down, your content is still gold

[@iambumbu]

Phenomenal, I also like your genuine excitement.

[@FrontRoomProductionsanimation]

Fantastic!

[@WLANDFILMS]

GOOD TUTORIAL THANKS!!! 🤖

[@jonahpappas9955]

This is so cool!!

[@davidcapuzzo]

Awesome breakdown!

[@Guldies]

Thank you! Means a lot :)

[@missseaweed2462]

Guldies, you're the best for this. Thank you. :)

[@spamton_G_spamton805]

Bruh i watched your first clamatoin, and now this one dang!

[@zzador]

As always awesome content. Thank you for that. When looking at your masking process to remove the armature from the images I wondered if this tedious process can be streamlined. I thought about coloring or covering the armature with a colored sheet. The color must be unique so that it doesn't appear anywhere else in the scene. Then you could use a "Bluescreen/Bluebox"-Tool to automatically mask out the armature.

[@PijamasGagarin]

As complex as it looks it is quite simple. :) How or when do you decide how many frames it will take you to cycle a walk and run?

[@ZORBINOS]

Amazing as always

[@Guldies]

You're amazing

[@Meat_Chicken_Br2004]

Make more old-fashioned animations of faces like those monsters

[@Guldies]

Those will always come back

[@Meat_Chicken_Br2004]

​@@Guldiesyes thank you

[@tdieditsx]

ahh my childhood best clay channel ngl

[@graceongpin8627]

My guy made Michael Jackson come back from the dead

[@sufferedenuf]

Can you show or explain the support piece that keeps the figure upright? There is something behind him. Mine want to fall over.

[@AniMatrix0101]

Amazing work 😊

[@JanSojkaWorks]

Wow! ❤ Great tutorial 👌

[@JaceBranyan-w8g]

Whats wrong chillin with the grill? Go on Monjang!

[@Squeeaky]

Hello @Guldies what camera do you use for stop motion ?

[@igorgilewicz1549]

Hi! Great tutorial. Can you tell how this "stick" which holding the clay character are call? what I must to write in google to find this "posing" metal sticks with joints?

[@Guldies]

Hi! Thank you so much :) I go through all of my equipment in the full episode on my Patreon, but my rig is a XY-winder from Maxwell Sorensen. Custom made. Hopefully you'll find something out there!

[@DeepuVS]

Its called rig/stopmotion rig.

[@Prmrjeiehj]

You are Amazing! ❤️

[@YiClay]

Next level creativity … would luv to collab one day ⛅️

[@badatthis6477]

It's great I wondered how you made your animations. More tutorials would be welcome.

[@RafaCB0987]

Thanks for the tutorial, really good

[@KryzysX]

Sublime art, reeks with Guldies!

[@heliumsair4686]

this was so helpful, thank you!!

[@caspar3152]

What kind of rig do you use here? Is it your own construction or a purchased one?

[@Guldies]

This is a custom made winder I ordered from Maxwell Sorensen. I don't know if he still makes them! XY-winders like these are very pricey but in my opinion worth every dollar.

[@dorbacal]

Bit odd that the animation shown in the Adobe Premiere section of the video is different, it's a running animation and not the walking animation shown in the Dragonframe and Photoshop parts of the video, regardless you did a good job explaining what to do and how to do it so I don't think that really matters Good tutorial 😊

[@Guldies]

Haha I was going to address this. Thanks for bringing this up. This tutorial is a small snippet of a much longer Patreon tutorial where I animate both a walk and run cycle. I only had Premiere footage of the run cycle, but I still wanted to show the masking :) Thank you!

[@KryzysX]

I highly suggest that you use blue bars to hold the characters or just use Rotoscope from after effect

[@ApexHerbivore]

Not with this blue background

[@animatorxstudios100]

so cool! I'm going to have to try some thing similar

[@Fatafat-Facts]

Which software you are using because of your stop motion is very smooth

[@AnakNolepUwu]

Hey, thank you for the video🎉 btw, what's that tool that you used to hook the copper?

[@kasturisatyavani1528]

How do you make such smooth animations ?!! Btw which clay do you use ?

[@QUEfrang]

Very satisfying My screen is now liquid

[@FrogiaStopMotion]

Verrrrry good🙏🏼❤

[@edennibeb5704]

ur so cool tysm!

[@goordam9917]

that's amazing!!

[@SomeRandomAnimator345]

I really like this.

[@JulesDood_]

Great tutorial! Also, I'm just curious, what type of clay do you use?

[@Aminecraftg0d]

So nice!

[@JAMSARTCHANNEL]

Very cool!!!

[@MooseStopMotion]

Hey could you give me advice on a good rig to buy, all the ones I got were trash and could hold anything. Thx!

[@MrDapperGent]

Fascinating

[@pichplayz3133]

What type of modeling clay do you use? :D

[@sirbreadstick]

Did I happen to see a Hulu ad of yours or is that just a really similar style? Seems way too nice to have it not be yours.

[@Guldies]

I've done two Hulu ads! Which one was it? :)

[@nightmissionsonly9494]

hey, I loved the tips. Can you do a moonwalk?

[@1103_stopmotion]

😀I'm always inspired by you I am Korean and I want to see lectures in Korean, and I wonder if you have any plans to offer a service

[@alejandrav1299]

Dear Guldies i was wondering if you could make a tutorial of how to make that red house from the video FANTASIA please and thank you if you can. 😊

[@goordam9917]

whats the name of the clay that you use?

[@Guldies]

Plastilina from JOVI mixed with a little bit of FIMO polymer clay!

[@goordam9917]

@@Guldies thanks!!

[@danielroth6317]

Super nice

[@Abstraxtudio]

Man how I wish I have the rigging instrument. They're so expensive not to mentioned heavy to ship

[@Guldies]

Send a message to "Stop Frame winders" on Instagram. They might have winders for you. Tell them Guldies sent you :)

[@teemostudio-pía]

xin chào. mình mới tìm hiểu về hoạt hình này. bạn cho mình hỏi bạn sử dụng phầm mềm nào để chỉnh sửa và chụp ảnh nhân vật nhỉ? cảm ơn!

[@ZeichLabilNasTV]

Hey bro, why not realize, one tutorial about postproduction, example one question mine is: how delete the iron, with photoshop?

[@rogeresturi]

hello guldies! do you export frame sequence as video directly from psd or you export the layer seq for another software?

[@vigilancebrandon]

amazing!!

[@mjparent222]

one question : DragonFrame is a littlebit expansive. is there a indie version ?

[@thereturned7672]

good job❤

[@pg3d7738]

Walking distance of about one

[@Vini_31]

why you don't paint the clay supporter in green? then you can use the chroma key and easier much more the editing for the videos

[@agustinsosa2999]

It's excellent
