Twirling

[butiamhopingxxx]

Aw nice job!!!

[Stargirl4505]

amazing!! im kinda working on an animation that includes a girl twirling in a skirt, so i was wondering how many frames per second did you use?

[martinchchen]

this is just lovely

[Evilhamster13]

You have talent

[4fitter27]

very smooth, really good. I'm no animator, but I would guess the next step is using some sparse colour

[UndeadSkittle]

wow ur 13? ur such a great artist. im 12... i do better with cartoons ^_^

5/5

[21sKratcherr]

how are you this good at this age? what program?

[olymkan]

using live footage for refrences is ok but im not a big fan of rotoscoping because it limits you, and you'll rely on film too much. if you want to be a great animator use your imagination

[ageshero]

Ma'am. you will make a fine animator, as you already are now, you will be even greater as you go on, God bless you and your talent, and may you continue this without the scourge of cgi animation tainting you.

hand drawn can be appretiated so much more, and your style will shine through it.

may i ask though.... How much time elapsed would you guess that this took to make, work included only.

[saisadon]

very impressive

[dorkdude51]

Wow, this is really good for a first!

[betterunknown]

OMG soooo good.

Not even i can do it!

How did you do that neat drawing?

[himechi90]

it's so good that u start to do this in such a young age!^^ and rotoscoping is not that easy either..u need passion and patient..yep yep..

[Azybee]

ur 13!!! omg!! iv bin tryin to animation for ages and failed miserably :( im only 15 tho so ill just keep tryin :D

[fearlessturk]

Yeah, dont use rotoscoping.

[MELLAIIYY]

aw i would absoulutly love to know how you did this. I think its so amazing

2 cute:P

[HaveHatredStudios]

go download a stop motion maker. aslong as ur a good artist and your patiant it's easy

[br9divided]

im blown away. both of the animations you have posted are amazing.

[Mikimarux]

if you are 13 then oh my god that was incredible its so accurate that it looks like it is just a filter. What frame rate did you use?

[dandelioncaribou]

oooh, this is so lovely and smooth! amazing for your first animation.

[animatelife]

its great that your getting into animation at such an early age, but i think you should leave the rotoscoping alone.

Look into getting Richard Williams 'Animators survival Kit', its a great book that youll find in every studio and its perfect for starting out.

Keep doing observational drawing and drawing people you see, and try animating without video and rotoscoping, but rather use what you learn from your studies.

[zakkattack99]

yeah i got that book when i went to uni lol, ive referred to and used it almost everyday since for years. Hard business animation lol

[CodenameLegacy]

OMG incredible! How did you do that? Did you use the computer, or was this hand drawn? This is really great! It's like a disney demo reel!! the feet was the only thing a bit twitchy, other than that, you got it! add me as a friend please!

[LoveCraken]

God, I agree so much. This was fantastic! Is it really your "first animation"???

[AdamThree]

Your good at animating!

[pietroreviglio]

very cool :)

[artTinta]

Very gentle... :)

[popcarla17]

it looks like drawing over from a camera recording, that's rotoscopy right? well, it's a very nice rotoscopy^^

[d3p3ch3mod3]

WTF no way youre 13

[tangytom14]

Your first animation!!!!! My god your brilliant! :-0

[CaptainWii64]

That was great! But the feet are terrible? you must be a perfectionist. (Like me! :3)

[Josephdorf03]

I'm a fourteen year old artist. However, I'm not much of an animation person... yet.

Well done! Skirts must be difficult to draw, because of the flowing nature of fabric.

[tigerzrule99]

i can barely draw stick figures! lol 4/5

[sweetangel1927]

Omg this is sooo cool!! I could neverrrrrr draw anything as good as that haha. But whyyyy so short??? It was soo good, you should have made something longer! And, the feet aren't as bad as you seem to think. Trust me, I draw worse ;)

[SmallCaz]

I think rotoscopy is okay, as a learning tool. If you do it really consciously, you can pick up loads of little things that'll make your animations look great.

Having said that, rotoscopy, funnily enough, also gives a very stiff, nreal feeling to an animation, because the user outlines an already existing picture, without intelligently outlining volume and dynamics.

Do you see what I mean ?

I'm sorry : my English isn't so good : )

Anyway, I found the subject of your animation very interesting !

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i haven't tried rotoscoping but i bet it is a good way to study things like the way fabric moves and wrinkles...

[SmallCaz]

Yep, I can see this was not rotoscopy, it is really visibly a lot of hard work you have done, and it comes out really well. Careful, though, your feet are a bit shaky ! I just finished animating a llama (I had already done a polo bear), feel my pain ! (sorry, I just had to tell someone : I'm the last one in the school : ( so I have nobody to tell)

[wolifgang]

wow you are amazing

heeeeeeeeeeeeeey its me dunjii

[JeffZHigs]

haha awsome I gotta try that

[JeffZHigs]

just wonderin, do you scan all your frames or take pictures of em, and how do you set it up,?

I'm 14 and your pretty good thats pro I like it 5 stars!

[paperclips101]

thanks! i scanned all the frames and then ran all the pictures after each other on windows movie maker.

[rasenganenergyball]

dng ur really good for a 13 years old im 12 just one year younger man i must say u really can draw

[paperclips101]

thanks!!

[hiyaanimation]

You're 13?? Dang, I'm 18 and have been doing stuff for years and I can't even come close animating that good!

[reesey1029]

you're really good for being so young. props to you ^^. i havent even attempted animation yet...

[FlyingShoeProds]

WOW! Im 12 and i just made my first hand drawn animation and mine sucks compared to yours. How many frames did u use (pieces of paper)? And did u use tracing paper?

[paperclips101]

i checked out your animations and their pretty good though :)...anyways i think i used about 110 frames or something like that on regular printing paper...but i used a light box so its sort of like tracing

[ObiWanGuacamoli]

You're only 13????? OMG, that is really good. It's scary to think what you're gonna be able to do when you're older.  Wow.

[Gumballbrain]

this is beyond words i cant believe its hand drawn

[paperclips101]

wow thanks! i really like your animations too! esspecially The World Ends one :)

[Gumballbrain]

lol thx. im new to hand drawn animation

[jcornelius84]

This is amazing, keep it up.

[paperclips101]

thank you!

[brianthedrummer]

What is the FPS? What software did you use?

[paperclips101]

the fps is 17, i think, and the softtware i used was just the moviemaker that came with  my computer.

[MikeZoRZ]

thats deff rotoscoping.

[gummybits]

It's good reference for a drawing but it does look alot like film put through a filter, which i think makes it lose it's charm, the magic in animation is not it ability to mimic reality rather to make impressions of what we see, for some good hand drawn stuff check out bill plympton! here type in push comes to shove Bill Plympton

[CrudityDevArt]

altough looks great, you used film reference :)

[paperclips101]

true, i filmed myself doing it as a reference. it helps since i'm a beginner =).

[paperclips101]

thanks for everyone who commented and viewed! :)

[puppydoodle98]

much better than the one i made about a cat and a dog in a fight

[beandick]

definate rotoscoping but hey it looks good

[xagaroth]

raelly good for a first time

watch the legs on 3 seconds looks wrong

but still bloody amazing for ur age

[kwame201]

Kid that was good for a person who started you want to make cartoons with me

[paperclips101]

lol cool

[comixtop]

Looks a lot like rotoscoping, or at least you followed a piece of film frame by frame.

It looks like a lot of work went into it.

[longyboyuk]

Its Rotoscoped, without a doubt.

[satomixrobin]

Brill =O oh btw I'm 13 too ^^ lol

[IlyaSmirnov]

I'd say "bloody brilliant", but someone already has, so I'll say that it's "bloody impressive", especially for what you say is a first time.

And though you probably already know this, you were featured in the Cult of Mac blog, which only shows the awesomeness of this animation.

Anyways, well done, and I think we all look forward to future animations!

[xMoJoizCuTex]

I changed my account because i messed up on the e-mail part. I forgot the passoword to it so i made another.

I think Ur vedio is AWESOME! how did u do it? Did u like draw it urself?

[toucansam25]

just in case if anna doesnt answer it ya she drew it herself;)

[paperclips101]

yup, i drew it

[linnefaulk]

beautiful!

[breakupthespace]

Really great job on the animation, I'm impressed and jealous of your skill!

[bawpcwpn]

That's bloody brilliant!

[paperclips101]
