Ariel Animation Test

This is a very tiny animation of Ariel saying "That!" I know its really minor but I've seen a lot of small animation test of the character just saying "hi" so I figured that this would be fine. The audio is from the upcoming sequel, "The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning". Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at actual animation WITHOUT the help of rotoscope, so be nice haha!

[TOKYOCHiiCK22]

@renethel Not much effort, really, but of course, you want to aim further than that.

On "Ones", a 10 minute short cartoon would need circa 14000 drawings (circa 7000 on twos) and that isn't taking into account animated seperate characters or FX, the layouts and backgrounds, and then clean-up, colorization and sound sync.

Animation is a lot of work, but it sure is worth it!

@renethel well... i heard to make a good clean 5 minute film takes about 10,000 drawings....so yeah.

Do you do your drawings by hand or do you use a special program for this and one last thing do you use a wacom or drawing tablet.

if you're studying animation it should be on twos. i do 4's-6's on animatics, which get the point across
