  • I'm new at animating and I have like 2 animated videos but this is pure AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!

  • That's what happens to me...Everyone asks me how to draw, I mean...Though, I can't animate or draw animals. I mostly draw Pokemon and cats and that's pretty much it. AND!! I LOVE YOUR ACCENT!! :D

  • Whoops, I accidentally pressed Innapropriate, sorry about that...

    Anyway, what's a quid in amercan terms?

    €¥£ lol

  • @catsanddogswillrein Hehe no worries - it is a pretty inappropriate video XD

    Um I'm not sure what the current pound-dollar rate is but I think it's something like $1.50 to £1 - so 200 Pounds would be about $300

  • This is very helpful, for me anyway. Thanks :] I like how you were listening to The Voice. I could hear it in the background towards the end :P

  • WOOO ENGLISH KIDS! -high five- English people rock, it's just the weather... :(

  • Is it possible to do this with ms paint

  • I soooooooo agree with you on photoshop CS4 belongs the longest because that' all I use when animating and one animation make take days or even weeks for me to finish D:

  • Thx! This'll help wen I start animating on my other channel! Btw, i love ur accent XD

  • I live in England too!

  • Am I the only person in the world who fails if they sketch?

  • will photoshop elements work? cause i just got my new bamboo tablet, and it came with it. and i wanted to know if it's any use. so,... will it?

  • @artkitten137 yes, (i have ps elements) but it doesnt have the animation option so when you want to see the sketch youll have to render the sketch and put it together in movie maker

  • @OokamiSeishina how do u put in in imovie? i tried but i can't do it. any tips?

  • @artkitten137 well, what i do is i open finder and go to the picture and drag it over to the imovie timeline (for some reason you cant import them..) i do that with all of the animation frames the i think double click them and set the time to .1

  • @OokamiSeishina i know i sound stupid aas pie, but how do u get the timeline? i know, i know as much as platapus. but i REALLY need this help, and your the only person that is responding to my stupid questions.

  • @artkitten137 its cool >< i was also really confused when i got my mac at first, but later on its really easy! the only problem is that my setup is different from the default setup. i believe that the timeline is at the top left next to the preview (where it shows the video :3) go to the apple website, they have really good tutorials!

  • wolves are not pleasant if you are playing Red Dead Redemption >:I

  • I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet too!!!!!!!!!!

  • How do you edit the speed?

  • "Oh SHAD UP! I'm under pressure women!"

    Most faverite quote.

    Nice tips :3.

  • Animating is HARD like spent 1 hour on a wolf talking "I wish I'd come" ONE HOUR Grrrrrrrrr also it's a pain in the butt like sometimes a draw like awesomeness and then the next time I suck

  • Thank you very much TIME TO ANIMATE!!!

  • thank you!! you two are awesome

  • Comment removed

  • You and your friends accent is epic.

  • where is the pencil.....

  • haha longest???? look at animatipn methods???

  • Also, you can animate with keyframes in Flash rather than straight ahead, which makes consistency a heckuva lot easier :P

  • Hah lol xD Use Flash, seriously, it will be a Godsend after animating in the horrific animation section that's in Photoshop :P

  • I don't THINK this was mention in the video o.o; please don't yell at me in poetic way stating how much you dislike me if it was in fact stated in this, or either of the 3 parts. >_<

    But I have Adobe Ps Elem. 6.0, would it have the animation option like in your Adobe Ps CS4 has, or no? I have a feeling not, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

  • @BlueNeu25 Lol Im not that much of a bitch am I? At least I hope I dont come across that way.

    Elements is essentially a simplified version of Photoshop, but PS hasnt had an animation option until its more recent versions so I would imagine your program doesnt unfortunately. If you'd like an animating program I suggest downloading Pencil 2d, a free animating software available on the internet. Google it and you should find it ^^

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 Lol no not at all xD You actually come across as really friendly ^^ I just read your input in the description xD So yeah.

    And ah, alright. Thanks ^.^

  • OH MY GOSH are you from Northampton?

  • @Dharkhaze17 lol nope Im from Surrey Im afraid - I just have a weird accent XD

  • I know that this sounds really stupid but I can't find the pencil XD Please help me! I want to make a really nice Christmas present for my sister, who went to college, and I want to get started now. Thanks!

  • @horsesrmylife78 If you right click the paintbrush icon you will find the pencil ;)

  • So that's how animating works. xD God the amount of times I wanted to hit my fists against a brick wall until they bleed. I tried everything on my own and what not, but this was a life saver I wish I would have found this sooner.

  • Yay u r english i never thorught we were that talanted!

  • Would Adobe Photoshop 6.0 work for this??

  • lol my walk cycle is 80 frames

  • @HoofClaw 80?! Holy crap, that's one hell of a slo mo animation - do you have it uploaded?

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 it a bit more than just a simple walk cycle cuz the wolf walks up a hill butno i dont im still drawing it i up to slide 7/8 (has full ccolour and background) but yeah i stared it last week but when i finshes i will posted it would you like me to send a pm or somthing for you

  • @HoofClaw awesome, it sounds really cool - sure if you wouldnt mind, I'll check it out ^^

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 i will get a message throgh then oh p.s you may have to wait 2 month cuz im slow at animateing because i have this illnes witch make me only able to do about 2 slides a day and i dont come on my computer every day :(

  • =)

  • *takes deep breath* thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank yo thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you ... k, do you know just how very hard it is to come across a decent (you are amazing btw) drawer who does animation How-tos??? yeah well, it's very hard.. Love the narrating! and your drawings are beautiful!!!

  • "When you're beating your fists on the floor, crying and ready to die...

    You have done enough frames..."

    That beat the crap out of me

  • I'm in love with your narration! <3 It's hilarious! And this video was so good, and very informative, makes me want to start animating right now! Too bad I lack drawing skillz, so I should work on that first... T_T

  • Do you use a tablet? :)

  • awesome vid! but wtf is a quid??

  • @wolfsrgreat LOL It's a slang word for pound. Just like Americans call dollars "bucks" sometimes, we call our pound a quid

  • would you happen to know where the animation button on Adobe photoshop Elements 4.0? i've figured it out once but I totaly forgot about it...

  • I adore your accents :) I too have a phobia of computers so iPod touch win.

    Anyway this helped alot even though I don't have photoshop :D

    Onto part 2!!!!!!

  • Does anyone know where the animation tool is on photoshop elements 9?

  • This is funny and helpful @ the same time! We need more vids like this!

  • I finally learned how to do it . Praise the lord

  • Hah this will help a lot for me:) Also, did I hear "The Voice" (Celtic Something?) in the background @11:45?

  • Are there any other programs that have the animate button? It would be really helpful. ^_^

  • @n9horsesbubbles Pencil 2d ^^ It's an animating program

  • @n9horsesbubbles Gimp has an animate button

  • Will this work for Adobe Photoshop Elements?

  • @RealBronzeClaws Having never used it I can't tell you. I suggest using the power of logic and trying it ^_^

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 Sounds right - final question, do you use a digital sketchpad?

  • @RealBronzeClaws A tablet you mean? Yes I use a WACOM Bamcoo graphics tablet

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 Thanks for answering! Btw, love your animations!

  • @RealBronzeClaws Hello saw you question here and I thought I would answer for ya. Yes you can use this animating technique with elements with doing with layers and stuff but you can't actully so the animation on the program, you would have to save all of your frame pictures load it on to a video program then see how your animation looks. It is very anoying I have done it before with elements and it it a pain.

    Btw Golden Phoenix101 this is a great help, helped me so so so much my thx to you!

  • @25Tachigami Hey, thanks! That really helps!

  • Help! I can´t find pencil and when I do the lineart with paintbruch theres a message that says: "Could not use the gradient tool because the target layer is hidden". And I did everything that you sayd in the tutorial! HELP!!!

  • @goldenphoenix101 hi!!!!!! im from the UK! i love your art and i showed my dad this vid and he about broke the computer monitor shaking it saying "YOUR A F_____ING BRILLIANT ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And i was just like, woah... so anyway, what camera did u use? did u use hypercam? (if u used hypercam please reply!!!!!! cos my mouse dissapears when i use hypercam and record!!!!!!!!)

  • I love this. Thank you so much! I was wondering...does this work for Gimp 2.6?

  • Yeah....I'll stick with Paint and WMM X3

  • @Mintywind24  same :D

  • "What the hell are you talking about?! this canvas is HUGE!" XD

    =w= cute voices...

  • This video helps SO much even though I have PSE 6. I really appreciate this! Thanks!

    You and Wheelie remind me so much of me and my friend!

  • the wonders of living in england......... the mud, the cloudyness and the amazing rain

    not kidding it never stops raining here in england O-o

  • Excuse me, Phoenix, but I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and on 'Windows' it doesn't have animate. I'm desperate, and not sure what to do. I have made 13 frames, and I only now noticed that I can't find 'Animate' anywhere! I've been working for about an hour on my first Photoshop animation, and I don't really want my work to go to waste. If you could reply, I would be extreamly greatful...

  • @ScourgeForever I can't say for certain because I've never owned PS7 but I did own 6 and versions of Photoshop as old as that unfortunately don't have an animation option. However you might have Adobe ImageReady which I had as an add-on for PS. It's a simple add-on which basically lets you make animations - try searching the help section of your version of PS to see if it's there ^^

  • oh dear lord...I just asked where you're from. YOU'RE FROM BRITAIN LOL! How could I not know that...I'm British too -.- People say I sound very brit but I never noticed it =/ Where about in Britain are you? I'm in Hampshire myself :D 1 hour from London

  • @Lunarbs Lol Dw - I have a weird accent even to other Brits XD

    Ooh a Hampshire buddy eh? If you know Guildford, I like pretty much 5 minutes away from there ^_^ It's on the Surrey/Hampshire border

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 yeaaa I know there :D Im in Winchester, about a hour from guildford. Im probably gonna be driving past there today cause I'm going to the airport. I still feel stupid for not realising you were British also XD Do you go to Uni or planning to go? I just sent my Ucas off. I'm trying to go to Bournemouth :s They're amazing for animation courses.

  • @Lunarbs Winchester eh? That's awsome! I love Winchester - really nice countryside traditional type town ^_^ We drive through there at least once a year on our way down to the New Forest. Lovely part of the world :)

    Ooh off to the airport? Nice - if you're going abroad I envy you XD Dam snow.

    Yeah I'm doing a short course at uni at the moment, but I'm not taking a degree until next year. UCAs is truly the bane of student life :P Hated it!

  • @Lunarbs And as for Bournemouth - you lucky dog! I hear it's one of the best for animating! Not to mention epic nightlife and access to the beach ^_^

    I'm at Farnham myself and it's pretty grim. The part time course I'm on at the moment is Art and Design, although I'm hoping to get into animation next September, but their idea of art is an unmade bed and vomit on a wall >,< Good luck with Bournemouth though! :)

  • O wow what a cute accent! where are you from?

  • Comment removed

  • WOOT. thanks alot :D

  • This is actually a lot more helpful then you think though I don't have a cool program with layers so I have to play around with the lineart and everything more so that i can see what I have done as other steps. If you don't mind once I get something animated out may i show it to you to get a critique on it? It would be very helpful to have other animators look at it and tell me what needs work. Thank you either way for all of you help ^^

  • Aha I loved this X3 ' IM PUSHING FUNNY BUTTONS ' lol

    And I'm glad to see someone else doesn't live on planet earth ;)

  • This is an awesome tutorial :D

  • what is the music in the back ground i can bearly here it but i can still here it lol

  • hahahahaha, that is so weird, and it gives me hope, because I can't draw either, but I can animate as well ^^ THE IRONY!!! lol :) I'm totally getting a tablet hahaha.

  • Just c;lick the arrow at the edge of the frames window and clikc 'make frames from layers' much faster than doing it one at a time :)

  • THANKS! I never knew how to work with layers xD

  • does this work for cs5?

  • "I wouldn't recommend it-- It's not very legal"

    I laugh everytime I hear this xD

  • I have a question...

    Do you put your animations together on WMM then import them in Sony Vegas? Or what? I have sony vegas and I want to put ALL the animation together on there, but I'm not sure how. Help D:

  • it's true about getting practice when i draw out of boredom at school people are like omg you draw so good then i glance at what i drew then i glance at them and then im like what are you smoking if you want to see what practice does then i will post a vid on what i drew like two years ago then last year and now this year you will be laughing so hard at what i once drew like! XD

  • cool way to animate! :D I use lightboxes and lots of paper and the software flipbook and it takes ages! 8D But when i get a tablet im going to try animaing on photoshop

  • GIMP IS THE SAME AND IS FREE!!!

  • "Ahh, I can see! Joyous joy.. Thank you monkey face." XD

  • i absulotly love ur accent!!!!! <3 but i just draw a wolf on paper then another paper make the wolf move a tiny bit then take a picture of that and it's a lot easer then this but this is good to!!!!! ~Kitty!!!

  • @dancer32940 i used to do that too lol but i took longer and as you can see on my trailer i am very impatient...

  • Lol. U and Wheelie r hilarious while recording. Does this method also work on programs like gimp?

  • are u a boy or a girl? OMG u probably really insulted, sorry sorry! (small voice) can u answer?

  • @SheWolf8765 lol dw I have quite a deep voice. I am a girl ^^ At least I was last time I checked XD

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 you said one or to days until you uploaded the next part, :( its been a week! :(

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 lol Join the club! I have a deep voice 2 :)

  • after i watched this vid i searched for an hour looking for a ahem (download) for cs5 :D time to start animating!

  • haha its funny to hear you to argue about animation :)

  • When you yell you sound like YellowFang from TribbleofDoom.

  • my windows movie maker dosent work XD

  • i need to get photoshop soon. i really want to start making animations

  • You guys are funny. Thanks for the vid, and i hope i can animate like this soon. :)

  • Yes! An English animator ^,^

    Not that there's anything wrong with other animators from elsewhere, but English people who animate are just... awesome.

    By the way, how on earth do you draw so easily on the computer (with a mouse) O_o I cannot for the life of me, draw on computer, and (don't have adobe, but have used sumopaint) I can't work adobe (sumopaint). Can on paper, not on PC.

    Anyway. Awesome stuff :') Where's part 2?!?!

  • I had Photoshop CS2 for 4 YEARS, AND I NEVER NOTICED WINDOWS->ANIMATION.. So instead, I animated the hard way.. CURSE MY IGNORANCE.

  • this is an amazing video it has helped me so much THANKS SO MUCH PHOENIX

  • it's really exiting to see how you animate. :D looks so cool *v* but the tail going to shorten. (sorry my _BAD_ english)

  • OMG I HEARD THE VOICE (THE SONG) IN THE BACKGROUND AND I LIKE FLIPPED BECAUSE THAT IS MY FAVE SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • Yea, I'm 13 XD and I've seen that alot of ppl I'm subscribed to are British (or England-ish? XD) I love your animations! My vids suck, but that's only because I've never used computer stuff before, but I've been practicing ^^ and yes, Florida is 87 degrees right now! (I live there, if u couldn't tell ^^)

  • Hey Phoenix101 If you can, I suggest saving up for a flash program.

    Its alot easier to animate once you figure out the program.

  • *distracted from writing essay for homework*.

    hello!:3 remember me?:3

    nice tutorial, it was quite humorous and kept me interested/DISTRACTED FROM WRITING MY ESSAY >.>

    lol:3

    nice tutorial,

    well done <3.

  • @wolfbabe6 dont watch it zen >:C

  • i couldn't stop laughing :) My friend says bugger a lot, and another one has the same accent as you and doesn't even try to! TeeHee!

  • you don't sound that old i expected an old person doing these animations but that isn't a problem (just saying) i have been trying to make animations but i have a mouse and its difficult (also i can't believe that you create these animations XD) but i will continue to try..... hopefully get better.....

  • @inuyasharules1235 lol it depends what your deffinition of old is. Most of my watchers are 13-14 so by their standards I am quite old, but I suppose at 18 I'm pretty young in comparison to middle aged people XD

  • @GoldenPhoenix101 lol wow i guess that is old XD but my age is around the 13-16 range and ya :D i wan't to learn how to animate i know how to draw and stuff like that but animation is a challenge for me your vids do teach me alot though ( i guess i need the patients) XD
