Make an Animation Table

[martok666]

i can see why he was coughing at the end of the video lolz

[hayesmanga]

Actually, the table can tilt at any angle.

[jethromartino]

it doesn't look too comfortable to draw on... you could have tried to make the desk tilt into a certain angle.

You sounded like you were going to cry towards the end of this video. . . What happened when you cut that circle, man?

[kylesbronco]

Those simple mechanic wire thingy is called a zip tie but great video!

[harobike123]

This way! (walks the other way)

[TheAnimefreak33]

you say go right but then you walk to the left... i don't get it... LOL

[philgunman]

lol My clone did it!

[whataboutoddd]

Don't animation table have an "angle" to them? Like a drafting table. Otherwise, it's not that easy to look at drawings below, if the table is not slanted. That's just my own opinion though.

[CodyDeanWilliams]

I love nerds. They are the only sane minded people out there.

Thank you so much for this! I have an animation wheel from when I was a cel painter a loooong time ago in Vancouver. And a small Ikea desk. I have been wanting to teach kids how to make flip books and now I know what to do. This is great!

Heyy, where can i find a animation disc pro?! I need one of these!

[bentarthur]

I'd be interested how you transfer your animation onto the computer. Do you have a lunchbox type setup?

[InklingStudio]

video frame capture or  scan the drawings using a frame capture software like TVP Animation, Digicel Flipbook , Toki Line Test ToonBoom Studio (scan only) , or MonkeyJam pencil tester (freeware)

[ninjafinity]

is there some way to do this and actually be able to afford it? i animate with a tablet, but I really like stop motion and paper- its what I did for most of my life before I got my tablet.

[andrewsan15]

uhhh... youre not going to make the angle of the table adjustable?

[erbro]

Since you are fairly computer literate, why invest in "old technology"?

I'm not an animator, I'm a painter, it's a real question, not critisism.

[hayesmanga]

Some people just don't do well with tablets. I'd feel more comfortable with a pencil.

[ilikemonkeys2]

I have a tablet, I think I like the table better. I would be more okay if the tablet was like a actual touch screen sorta thing.

[remcycle]

@hayesmanga Word! Most pro studios still draw using classical tools and then scan their drawings to ink/paint digitally.

Plus, if you make it big down the line, you can take some of those pencilled frames, finish them up by hand and sell them!

[DornSupremacy]

when you ask a question like that you make is seem like there's a one answer to art... Like the one way is right or another is wrong. 2D animation has many different mediums. I think most people would be confused as to you considering 2D pencil animation as out of date.. That's like saying doing stop motion with a 3D software is better then the original way.

[NickGimacutU]

@erbro Aesthetics of hand drawn stuff is still superior for some forms of animation.

[gaarannja]

looks cool

[kkdakat]

looks very fun.. xD maybe sometime when I can afford it, I'll try. ^-^
