The #1 rule of animation: Control the spacing - How to animate 2D animation class [

[@lobiethecartoonist5285]

Spacing is, personally, one of my favorite things to experiment with. You can get all kinds of different speeds, motions, and even weight depending on how you space your drawings. 👀

[@AnimatorIsland]

It's so crazy how changing the spacing can totally change an animation. And sometimes just one frame more or one frame less can feel so different.

[@B14z3rather]

@@AnimatorIsland yeah like if you made a line barely moving then hit a wall and have huge spacing it might look faster

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

The strange thing about a "snappy animation" I've heard that term both used as a compliment and a negative critique. I guess it depends on the situation.

[@AnimatorIsland]

Yeah it definitely depends on what style you are going for. There is some excellent snappy animation in Hotel Transylvania or Wonder Over Yonder and it really fits there. There certainly are animators who would strongly prefer a realistic over a snappy cartoony style, but both has its purpose, both can be done extremely well. Really interesting topic.

Thanks for the tutorial sir 🥰

[@user-oz7xw6vs6j]

I love how you explain. Thank you

[@fixufixu5651]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaan i enjoyed your courses

[@UltimatePerfection]

Sometimes you may want a linear motion though, such as in the "drawing" animation I am working on for the intro sequence for my cartoon (basically, in part of the intro the stuff is slowly drawn in, first in wireframe, then slowly filled with colors - that sort of thing looks best with linear motion based on my experiments).
//edit: Also nice to see more people using OpenToonz, though I prefer Tahoma.

Thanks :)

[@imhassan9119]

I am confused. Is the spacing supposed to between the actual drawings (while the frames are constantly spaced on timeline) or is spacing between the frames on the time line?

[@AnimatorIsland]

Spacing is the distance of the lines of the actual drawing from one frame to the next. The distance of moments on the timeline is called timing. Yeah, it can be quite confusing :)
