Wednesday: How to make a 2 frame animation...

[leslanfear]

what a crazy song!

[dinuvc]

What i used to do is, when i had a note pad at school, start drawing a tiny stick figure at the last page and make him come to the middle of the page by drawing him come little closer each time (on each new page, going backwards), i also tried it with two cars coming towards each other and crashing :) hope that made sense hehe...

[Sakerrst]

Look at his foot and arm go!!!

were you having fun XD

I love your work, it's very interesting :-)

oh, I'm in the process of making a make art vid, expect a response in about a week.

[manolitoagustin]

my suggestion is you should have at least one inbetween or breakdown and it will look much better :-)

[chrille93]

[charlieproductions]

[jeannypoo]

I've done that before. lol. I was a little kid then, though, so it wasn't very good. Fun, though.

[officerRocelot]

my mate does these but loads of frames  of littel people animating. she`s talented and has the patience of a saint ^^

[cheekychen]

I was gonna send you this one.. I reckon you should give it a go dude! serious.. I bet you have a couple of characters you draw.. It even looks great with stick men! go on!!! lol

[officerRocelot]

[cheekychen]

It's amazing Allan! well done man! I left you a comment on your video... I bet it was a nightmare drawing with the touchpad :p

[officerRocelot]

[cheekychen]

[Ginasart]

[cheekychen]

Thanks Gina! I'm pleased you enjoyed it :) suzi does some great things!

[DasKapital]

pretty cool videos you have. I made one animated video with lego like characters that's about 20 seconds long. I just kind of looped it. And I like making simplistic paint animations. But I want to get into hand drawn animation.

[cheekychen]

sweet! well this is a good place to start.. check the description for how to fashion a light box.. might be useful.

Paul :)

[DasKapital]

I dont see the description on the light box.

Did you check out my animated video?

[cheekychen]

i meant the video description.. top right of this page.. basically use a window or an empt picture frame with a lamp/flashlight underneath. should work like a dream :)

[stylistbrighton]

i am totally going to try out animating! haha.. i need to catch up on all your vids paul..Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr­!

[cheekychen]

catch up jane.. geez! lol.. yeah give it a bash!

ooo, you could use your magic wheel and animate lots of trendy clobber! :)

[licklicksalute]

[meowmixX23]

yes! i love devendra:)

[cheekychen]

Lol! cheers Sami! He rocks! lol :)

[Imaginationscreation]

haha that is awesome.... I took the same concept myself and with a little 2D magic using Photoshop, I made a pre pic of a charactor that I am working on.... Unfortunately I am soo under funded that I need to improv on paper, programs and everything.....

[cheekychen]

Cool! I'd love to see how you got on!

peace :)

[Imaginationscreation]

Still working on the first mini story, bu hey, if you want to see a pic of him (animated of coarse) send me a message.

[cheekychen]

Hell Yeah! please can I see! You could post it as a response to this still if you like :)

peace :)

[eMoTHeRapy666]

That's really cool! The pencil trick is very clever...I'll definitely give it a go some time next week!...hehe Devandra Banhart makes me smile...;) un-related-to-animation question: where was the camera while you drew...?

[cheekychen]

Awesome! looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Devandra is wick! And I was gonna take a photo of the set up.. next time i will.. But basically I used a tripod on top of my desk, and attatched the camera to the underpart of it using a gorilla pod (a bendy small tripod - they're great)

Hope this makes sense :)

[hhartely35]

very cool :)

[cheekychen]

thanks :)

[Minniver]

Oooh, thanks for this. Animation fascinates me, I want to give it a try. Dunno, don't have a lightbox, though.

[cheekychen]

So it! you can use a window as a lightbox or an empty picture frame with a lamp/flash light underneath! There you go! Looking forward to see what you come up with!

Peace!

[BlackraIN757]

Thats is awsome man! an what song is that i gottas have it!!!

[cheekychen]

Thanks dude.. it's Devandra Banhart; I feel just like a child. I'm gonna watch your responses now! woop

[WoWRoGuEtWiNk]

LOL! i started one and my mam came up to me and said "Oh! i remember those from when i was younger!" LMAO! xD thanks m8! really cool xD i do em at school loads now :_)

[cheekychen]

Awesome! Please keep them and maybe film them all together! you could even make a story if you do a few!

Stay tuned!

Peace :)

[Angieanything]

You're awesome!!! I loved this!!! What could I draw if I suck at basic art? Maybe something that would end up looking like a kaliedoscope?

[cheekychen]

You're awesome too Ang, I hope you're feeling better today. Hmm, the Kaliedoscope idea is great! I think adding psychadelic colours would looks fantastic! spirals and stuff could look cool too... just have fun with it really, I've found that any drawing that moves has some kind of charm... mine weren't exactly masterpieces! lol x

[Angieanything]

Nonsense! Watching you draw took me to a far away place where all that existed was the paper, pencil, and your hands moving swiftly and skillfully. I just loved watching it. And it completely distracted me from everything else. This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for you. And I am feeling a lot better. Still scared, but much better. Thanks to you and our other Peeps!

[cheekychen]

Ah thanks Ang, I'm pleased it helped distract you :) I'm thankful for you also. I hope you had a nice day eating turkey and watching football. (I know what goes on now! :)

Peace :)

[DARTHGANJI]

that was cool

[cheekychen]

Thanks Brian, Angie is a complete star. I have a lot to thank her for. I'm real pleased you enjoyed this :) thanks for your support!

[DARTHGANJI]

[Angieanything]

[jimboxlax]

Hey, Thats pretty cool! i can see some interesting applications of that...

[cheekychen]

Thanks James! I hope I get to see what you come up with!

[yagatza]

wow, thanks for the lesson in animation.

[cheekychen]

No worries Todd! I hope you'll have a go!

peace!

[papackar]

That is great.

I used to draw little animations on the edges of books, or pads of paper, and exprimented quite a bit with stop-motion "claymation", but never 2-frame animation. I love it.

[cheekychen]

Hey Perry! Yeah I used to do that too! I wish I still had some of them.. I've been meaning to do something about that too, so maybe I will when I have a little more time! I'd love to see a 2 framer from you, I know it would be awesome :)

[dogpatchdebbie]

Its seems like it takes a lot of work to do animations. You make it look easy!!!

Your have looks good:) new cut?
