Classic Animation Compilation

My first animations I did while learning in Animation I and II class in college. (I am an Animation BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design) I can since do better things, but these are fun and not bad for learning. :) All rough pencil tests. Done with pencil and paper, no fancy computer programs. Hope you enjoy the randomness, fun, and cuteness as I learned to animate. Characters (like Duce, Baby Lexes, Kitty girl, and Lither, are copyright © Nyssa Benthin)

They are in order of when they were made (so they go from simple to more complex).

Song is Sonic Crackers Dirty Beta OverClocked (OC) ReMix.

very good, i loved the one of the heavy ball lifting, do u do this manually, then, scan all your pics, and put it into the computer, what program do U use?

Do u know where can I find the "behind the scenes" of an animation such dragol ball, or ranma, or conan, or pokemon, all that 2d shows, i need to know how is the professional steps to get results, thanks and very cool!!!

They were captured using a camera connected to the computer by firewire, mounted to a tripod over an animation disc with register pegs, using a program called flipbook, which is a simple program designed for easy 2D animation timing. You can capture like this also using Stop Motion pro or Adobe Premiere. To be captured for higher quality looking animation they would need to be SCANNED or captured on a better camera. The animation itself was good old pencil and lightbox, nothing fancy. :)

How did you made this? Do you use a lightbox?

[LitheFider]

Yea just a lightbox, they were captured into the computer using a shitty overhead camera over register pegs (how you take quick pencil tests to check your animation), when doing these for class they didn't expect them to be too cleaned up or captured nice, it was just about learning to animate. :)

Did u take your animation class at a place called Animation Arts, cause i did and they had us do basically the same projects

[LitheFider]

SCAD college. :) Most animation classes everywhere do the same basic projects in Animation I...Ball bounce, flour sack, flag wave (not shown), walk cycle, 'tarzan' swing. :) They are standards.

The flour sack one is my favorite. :D

Very good, impressive animation tests here! People watching these might enjoy my hand drawn animation videos, BALDER'S EGG, THE MAGIC ARROWS, THE COLOSSEUM, and THE BLACK WIDOW on my channel page on you tube! They have fantasy characters with dialog and narration!

As someone who hopes to study animation at SCAD in the not-so-distant future, I think these are awesome!

[Teenterror983]

What's the program you used for this?

[Voodoofox3]

how do u animate with pencil and a paper?! do you draw the character and take a pic of it then the same thing with the following frames? or do you draw all of the frames then take a vid of them but speed them up?

please i want to make an animation but i dont have any idea how to!
