Generative Cartoons: the End for Animators or a New Beginning?
Things are moving so fast in the Generative Ai space that I have only scratched the surface but let's talk about what Generative Cartoons mean for rigging artists and keyframe animators. There are things about Generative Ai that's really exciting. But there are things about Ai that are really frustrating. Instead of manipulating parts of a single character, we can now direct entire scenes with just an image or a few lines of text. But we don't have the creative control that we're used to!
An animation workflow developed around generative video won't have the usual requirements for rigging and keyframe animations. And if (since) text prompts, images, and videos can generate animations in any art style, creators of all talent levels can create things that look like cartoons but aren't traditionally animated. In order for us animators to stay involved as puppeteers and keyframe animators, we can use a video-to-video method to realize our animation sequences. By animating a simple skeletal rig, we can provide the input for generative AI to dress them with flesh and clothes and transform them into fully realized animation sequences.

Making of Go and Tell- Animation Case Study
Переглядів 6156 місяців тому
Let's take a behind-the-scenes look at "Go and Tell", an animated project created to help young Christians share their faith with their peers. "Go and Tell" is the story of a girl who wants to share the Gospel with her friends, but she's too shy to do it. This is the first and most thorough case studies I've ever created for an animated project. It was important for me to document the thought, ...
Silly Character Slideshow

#character #characterdesign #adobeanimate #flashpowertools This is just a short, fun showcase of some recent character designs. I hope you like 'em! I find character design to be one of the most rewarding parts of the storytelling process. A design for a character can take weeks to months. Part of the time is spent creating the right "look" for the character as it relates to the role it will pl...

Stories have the power to heal

I believe that Stories have the power to heal! If stories are medicine, then Animation is the ideal delivery method. My name is Law Jackson and I'm a Multimedia Producer for my freelance business Kinetic Text. As an 80's kid it was my dream to be an animator. I was pretty serious about it so I dropped out of college to chase my dream and got my first job in games thanks to a referral. Back then...
Why 2D Artists Should Learn AI
Переглядів 1,9 тис.Рік тому
I put this video together in order to share: 1) some of the steps and stages behind the images I generated, 2) organize my initial thoughts about Ai, and 3) wonder about how the character design rigging and animation process could be impacted by Ai. There has always been a funny relationship between Art and Technology. Honestly, I think you can't have one without the other. I've been using diff...

Multi View Motion Test and Overview
Переглядів 2,9 тис.2 роки тому
I've been fascinated by Multi View Rigs because of how versatile they are and I wanted to share a motion test that demonstrates more of what it can accomplish. I used a handful of animation techniques to achieve this effect and I learned a lot about the Pros and Cons of animating this way. I hope you find this helpful and inspiring! #2danimation #adobeanimate #flash
