Lerne Animation! Klassische 2D-Animation für Anfänger

<p>You are very talented Michael. I can see a difference and your updated version does have more excitement.  I am not an animator, so I obviously don’t know much, but I do know that I thought it was cute funny and I watched it quite a few time.  Keep up the great work. :)</p>

<p>Based on amazing feedback from Siobhan, I was able to work some more on the animation I already did and I can see some improvements already. Excited about learning and growth.</p>

<p>Hi Michael! Thank you so much for posting your project. I can see an image of the emotional sack, but I don't see anything else, I wonder if you could possibly re-upload your animation? Let me know if you have any issues to upload, I'll trouble shoot with you.</p>

Hi Siobhan, I have uploaded the link. Not sure what happened previously. Thanks for this class. I am already checking out your other classes.

Ah wow!! This is outstanding animation!! First impression - the fact that you added audio, animated to the audio and added what feels like a mini story here makes the whole animation fabulous to watch and very engaging!! You've incorporated 2 projects in one, and you've added humor and narrative with these two characters. This is super pro, and really imaginative. Clearly this is someone who thinks like an animator, I'm so excited to have this work as part of the project gallery - thank you for sharing your work here. I feel that you have all the foundational animation skills already, as well as strong story skills. One really small point I would make in terms of offering feedback, is that I think there's room to make more of the pose where the character lands and does a "take" as it looks at the ball. Because we want to set up the next phase of the action in order for it to be really explicit when he stomps on the ball. So, my feeling is, give that pose more of an "overshoot", then "settle" into the pose. (eg, overshoot and then settle into the pose just before the question mark appears, if that makes sense!) It's a really tiny point, and might not even be that huge of a difference in the animation, but it's all about the feel of it. I'd love for that take to be really telegraphed. But, your call ultimately :) Just trying to make an excellent animation that bit more polished. Another thing you could consider, but not necessarily to change on this project, rather something to think about going forwards, is the timing of the 2 actions - the sack and the ball. I suggest and that after the sack does a take, has the question mark pop up - you could play with the timing here: maybe the sack doesn't move until after the ball starts rolling towards him. So, the ball moves first, and then he jumps up and stomps it out ?? Again, don't necessarily change this animation, but I offer this as something to consider for future animations. This is perfect as it is. Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you are part of this class. I'd love you to join my other classes (quick side-note though: I recently updated this class because the software was updated; and I'm working on updating the 2 other animation classes, so just keep that in mind that the other animation classes are not the updated UI. Let me know if you have any questions!) 
Thanks Michael! I look forward to hearing back from  you if you have any questions or other projects to share :)

Wao Siobhan, thank you for this extensive and informative feedback. I think I needed it because sometimes, I complete projects and can't clearly see my mistakes and where to improve and a neutral and professional eye like yours is what I really need to make the project better. 

I will work on the corrections you highlighted and share the update with you. 

Thank you so much. In the past years, I have done more of 3D Animation using Maya and now returning to 2D where I started and your tutorials are really fantastic and quite informative. I am a huge new fan of yours... 

Best regards,
Michael

Ah that's great to know! Interesting to hear you were working in 3D. Yes, please keep me updated, I'd love to support your progress in any way that I can. Although your work is outstantding, so not sure how much new stuff I can share, but definitely happy to give feedback where I can :)

Thanks Siobhan, I was able to make some improvements based on your feedback and I have uploaded the video as additional link to my previous post. Thanks.

Great work Michael, the change is subtle, but I think that it makes a difference in the feel of the animation, the two characters actions are slightly more distinct and makes way more impact! Thanks so much for working on this and sharing the second version. Really pleased seeing this!!
