I think what youre thinking of is keyframes not storyboards, keyframes are,, the key frames of the animation, basically you try to animate in a way where you hit the key frames as you go, a storyboard is basically an even rougher version of an animation kinda halfway between animation and a comic book
the curve part is actually part of the 12 principles of animation which was mentioned in that one alan becker video you demonstrated, forgot what's it called but curves just makes things look more free/flowy and natural
Understanding how basic physics works is really the core of good looking animation. That's where all the easing and arcs and stuff comes from. Thinking of movement from a mechanics point of view has even helped me in animating effects. Once you have a good grasp of that you're pretty much set really. Everything else is just about stylization and communication which you can honestly go without if you feel like it.
but if you have motion that is 'too based in reality' it can look stiff. But yes its true, understand how things move in real life can gratly benefit your animations
I will definitely take this tutorial into consideration when I finally begin my animation I've been looking for countless videos for animation to help me out with a project I'm working on but I found them not really helping me out but with this video has geniunely got me to understand what I've been lacking thank you so much bud
same here! i tthink i've watched every video i could find and this was the only one that actually spoke to me. i deeply appreciate it and will watch all of their videos now lol
Oh this is super interesting! I did know that there was terms for how you place frames between animations but I didn’t actually realize that its used like THAT, like every movement follows a principle of animation, all the movement follows its principles like it might as well have been physics, as in EVERY DRAWING AND LINE follows a set path based on these principles to travel in arcs and land where they need to go. It never really connected in my brain like that before thank you for the demonstration it really helped:)
One problem I had to figure out is that its not only that the object you are drawing needs to follow the arc, it's every line that is part of the animation.
LOL that one youtube short wasn't just a one off gag? Also, 4:49 pinpoint accurately represented my issues with animating. I unlisted most of my videos but the most recent one had this exact problem. This video as a whole is super helpful and I'm really grateful for it. When I start uploading again I can safely say you'll be one of my many inspirations, tysm 💚
This helped me a lot more than those guys on UA-cam that are art and animation teachers at colleges. They know too much and their big words I can't understand. This is so simply and clearly explained making it easy to remember for later
agreed!! its not the amount of frames at all. ive seen people create flawless animations with 9-10 fps. it depends on easing and timing for sure. ty for this video!!
wow...no yeah you're right, your forehead is very smooth, no that is actually concerningly smooth... No like really its literally glass? what how- what? How is that even possible?
I really like looking at other people's animation process and see what their thoughts behind it are, so that was a very fun watch :D the way you talk about it is really nice to listen to, even more so with visual cues, good stuff!! Love your art too, enjoyed this a lot!
I really like drawing in reference arcs, including the line of points which help track the motion of specific parts of the character. It's hard for me to imagine being able to draw straight ahead without this. 🙂
I've been doing animation on Flipaclip for 6 years now. Everything you mentioned here is absolutely true, all those tricks are actually real advice, and a great reminder. Thanks for making this video! Because if i had this type of thing when i first started trying to animate, it would've saved me months of work. I also noticed that ypu referenced Alan beckers' animation tutorial. Nice to see that someone else still uses that video to this day! :D
Oml- Your tutorial really helped me with the storyboard/planning part- I've been struggling animating without knowing how to animate the next scene- and I've been looking all over youtube some methods of it and how does it work- but it doesnt work for me bc i animate in flipaclip- So this helps me alot with the planning, and other things i needed to keep noted of with better states of poses, actions, planning ahead and flow. Thank you! You're **THE** EPIC!✨
4:23 man i feel that, secondary motion can be hell, especially when its a more complex design, did one gig that had like 15 moving parts from a 3 second shot, jewelry and fabrick and hair and a fricking tail
This is honestly one of the best animations tutorials and explanation videos I’ve seen! I’ve been trying to figure out more animation methods to improve my animations workflow, so I’m definitely gonna be using these techniques ^-^ Thanks so much for sharing with us!
finally. Its been a very i mean VERY long tome since you uploaded a single vid. and the actual tutorial came. I just remembsr watching your shorts. I dont think you remember me (if you dont seem to remember go to your old shorts) nice video like always.
I mean this is a great tutorial and i honestly feel i learned a lot better than any other tutorial because of the methods you used when explaining. And this is the first time im seeing this channel so its even better imo.
Oh my stars bro, thank you so much. Animation is a lot to take in when first getting started, and this lays it out real well. Again, thanks so, so much. I needed this. Subbing now
bro, your literally so good I had to make you a fan animation. I rate all of ur animations a 10/10 and you inspire me You deserve millions of subs! you will make it to 100k one day I know it :>
The things I have learned are helpful, from this video about animating smooth: Math (curve equations mostly) And Physics And Illusions Two teaspoons of skill, to taste.
this is honestly the best animation tutorial I've seen. thank you so much! but unfortunately, now it's time for me to actually use these tricks...ha...
man, seriously thank you very much for this tutorial, I didn't know you and I can say that you are seriously a good *good* animator and you made me understand very easily the things that were difficult for me ((consistency lol)) thank you very much dude, I hope you continue to grow a lot :D
I love this video so much dude thank you thank you thank you Im practicing on the basics of animation and learning little things everytime i practice . These tips is definitely going to save me more time and give more experience 😄
Before this video every time i had a problem when animating id usually bang my head against the problem untill it fixed itself which was rare and id usually end up with a headache, but now thanks to this video i dont have that problem anymore and now i have less headaches metaphorically and physically :D
Thanks this really changed my mind like i used like 24 frames even though i am starting to learn with 0 drawing skill and i just stared the blank white canvas and close. Now i am going to start to animate and going to start my yt channel thanks.😇
I just say F it we ball and completely ignore all the 12 principles of animation but on a real note great tutorial I may have known few tricks already mentioned in the video but it was nice learning more about animation! :D
My biggest flaw is definitely consistency, not having a concrete style in mind when animating has messed me up many times and I tend to not use the copy and paste method more than I should, This video has open my eyes a bit more on how to improve my animation quality as a whole, also this commentary is quite nice, defiantly subscribing.
i have an attention span of a goldfish and your videos keep me entertained and most importantly.. taught me alot. like i think i can quit my college now /j
Really motivated me and I noticed some of the movements that i need to add in my animation process thx for that .And can you say which pc software do you use for animation ?
this is the first time i am watching one of ur vids and may i say that i love ur voice lol idk ur voice is very nice and interesting and this is really helpful :] u seem so fun
I'm kinda an animator but watching this was really inspiring And made me get back to work Also... I love watching you animate.... I love watching everyone animate....😈😈😈

The most not boring tutorial I've ever seen
Wow
Can’t believe how hard you’ve been working. It’s definitely paying off your skills are so incredible. I love your animations!
Your tutorial made me more confident when making animations and made me realize some basic animation concepts that I had never noticed before.
Real man
You are definitely an underrated animator. I’ve seen some of your stuff on the flipaclip server before. Glad you are finally getting attention:)
It’s insane how many aspects there are, especially arcs is one that I could never get right

I can't believe that my issue was consistency after all of this time. I should have known to use copy + paste more than I do. Thanks for the help!
As an animator, i'm so happy that i found your work :D , I just subscribed
Keep up the Great energy.❤

usually i dont like copy and pasting in my animations, but with this video im starting to realize how well it could improve them. thanks
Dude the FRAME TRICKS at the beginning are gonna be SO HELPFUL for me, oh my gosh thank you
i honestly understand this so well than any other tutorials
thank you 😭😭 you're the first person ever to cover arches and animation curves. Everyone only talks about timing.
This helped me a lot more than those guys on UA-cam that are art and animation teachers at colleges. They know too much and their big words I can't understand. This is so simply and clearly explained making it easy to remember for later
This is so helpful omg. New sub, love your voice, love the art style, and the sense of humor is peak. :)
You like how I change my accent every five minutes, do ya?
@@epicnessatpeak yup, sure do
agreed!! its not the amount of frames at all. ive seen people create flawless animations with 9-10 fps. it depends on easing and timing for sure. ty for this video!!

Damn this video is smoother than my forehead (Nice storytime animation! Keep up the cool work!)
wow...no yeah you're right, your forehead is very smooth, no that is actually concerningly smooth... No like really its literally glass? what how- what? How is that even possible?
I WAITED THREE YEARS FOR THIS VIDEO AND STILL DIDN'T GET A NOTIFICATION WHAT THE FU-
lol...does that mean you were subbed for 3 years, you have been animating for 3 years or...you were born 3 years ago...hmmm

Glad I could help!
if it coude help even more i saw a studio once drawing everything in a physical comic as your storyboard. i incourege to try it helped me a lot

oh yeah...sounds like pain
5:39 me being jumpscared by my name on a character being blown up 😭

i was crying so hard and then that intro caught me off guard… thank you for being funny :,)
So perfectly simple and perfectly right. Thank you for sharing how you have been encouraged!
everybody: wants to animate smoothly
me: wants to animate messy and sketchy
also me: watches videos about smooth animation

Thankyou for stickin' around!
@@epicnessatpeak thank you for keeping me entertained:)
You know why Epicness at peak is name Epicness at peak it's because he animates Epic

Bro, this was so amazing and helpful! It was much more helpful than other tutorials I’ve seen.

DANG THIS IS GETTING SO MANY VIEWS!
Bro, your drawing is beautiful
🙃
YESSSSSSSS ITS HEREEEEEE IMMMM SOOSOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!
finaly you did it
Bro, that is a high effort tutorial, and it's very helpful. Thank you. I will try to use this method of technique for the next project.
bro, your literally so good I had to make you a fan animation.
I rate all of ur animations a 10/10 and you inspire me
You deserve millions of subs!
you will make it to 100k one day I know it :>
Thanks for the tips!
Now i can quickly change some things before i make the mistake of having a very stiff character!❤️
The things I have learned are helpful, from this video about animating smooth:
Math (curve equations mostly)
And
Physics
And
Illusions
Two teaspoons of skill, to taste.
lol
The picture for the video: *SMOTH*
this is honestly the best animation tutorial I've seen. thank you so much! but unfortunately, now it's time for me to actually use these tricks...ha...
I really liked your drawing style and animation. I hope you continue doing so
this is very underrated especially to how understandable it is
even in google slides?!! ive been waiting for this it’s all i have
if you can flick to the next slides fast and consistent enough

I found the video to be very informative and gained a lot of valuable insights from it, truly grateful to you.

This is the most underrated and important tutorial❤
BRO YOU SHOWED US HOW TO DO IT IN A WAY THATS NOT BORING AND THE OTHER TUTORIAL ARE JUST TO MUCH FOR MY HEAD THANK YOU SO MUCH🎉🎉🎉🎉
This really brought my animation game from 2/10 to at least a 7/10 thanks a lot mate!
Well well well, looks like the best animator posted! 🎉
maybe not THE best, but thanks 👍
you did help me.. but if its possible can you make a video on animating poses? i practice alot and still im not getting anywhere
That's why it's part one :D Still a lot more to come!
Thanks
Thanks this really changed my mind like i used like 24 frames even though i am starting to learn with 0 drawing skill and i just stared the blank white canvas and close. Now i am going to start to animate and going to start my yt channel thanks.😇
DUDE THAT IS ACTUALLY MIND BLOWING THANK YOU SO MUCH
I really like the Easing style of animation Just as much as the choppy style. It gives a more natural e simple moviment in my opnion ❤
1:04 get it cause it just went straight into easing abruptly which is the opposite of the effect youd get with easing
YESSS been waiting for this!
I just say F it we ball and completely ignore all the 12 principles of animation but on a real note great tutorial I may have known few tricks already mentioned in the video but it was nice learning more about animation! :D

you give such a helluva boss vibe in both artstyle & commentary. i love it 🤣🤣😂
oh gosh anything but that!! I have become what i seek to destroy!!!
Really nice! I think this process video will probably help me notice how I animate the next time
I love how you animate mouths. Reminds me of bent and the ink machine fan animations
Omg you don’t know how good and helpful this is, My animation most of the time is soooo like stifffffffff but I love your animation tyyssmmmmm
This helped me a lot, thank you so much!!
one of the best animations tutorial i've ever seen, new sub :D
i have an attention span of a goldfish and your videos keep me entertained and most importantly.. taught me alot. like i think i can quit my college now /j
best intro i’ve ever seen
Best tips I’ve heard I’ll be honest
This actually helped so much I’m making animations like a pro now
OMG OMG CONGRATS ON 5K I KNEWW YOU WOULD MAKE IT
*cough* 6K
cough 9k
*cousgshehehswh* 10k
I love this video bc I'm working on an animation rn but I have only layed out a story board and this video it gonna help me animate it better :]
ew story boards
Im joking, your doing great!
thank you for existing🙏🏻
wasnt that hard
As a person who doesn't animate and can't even draw a stick figure right, this was very informative.
Really motivated me and I noticed some of the movements that i need to add in my animation process thx for that .And can you say which pc software do you use for animation ?
Ive been watching u so long so thank u for showing us how u do stuff
this is the first time i am watching one of ur vids and may i say that i love ur voice lol idk ur voice is very nice and interesting
and this is really helpful :]
u seem so fun
Oh...so you like my constantly changing accent do ya? Well you've come to the perfect place....DANG IT! WHERE'S THE BALL????
@@epicnessatpeak XD
OMG YES
Such a good one, thank you!
I think doing stuff that you animated one by one gives you the time to focuse more on it
Nice video man, it was very entertaining😂💣💥
You could be the best animator if you put all your skills to the test in an animation!
i might try that, sounds interesting
You should make a tutorial on how to make effects on the part 2,gun shot, explosions,blood splatter,gore,etc
This is a god tier tutorial THANK YOU!!!!
That intro is fricken amazing
I'm kinda an animator but watching this was really inspiring
And made me get back to work
Also...
I love watching you animate....
I love watching everyone animate....😈😈😈
This is pure gold yo
