Roommate: "What are you watching?" Me: "This tutorial on how to animate a guy slamming himself with a trash can lid that causes his limbs to flail upward..." Roommate: "...why?" Me: "...because Ben Marriott uploaded it"
I remember watching this video some months ago and hardly understanding a thing, but now with the knowledge I’ve gained (especially from Ben) I get everything that’s going on here
Super fun! A simpler way to add shading to a black-outlined character is to add your shadow, tint it the colour you want it to end up, then set it to Darken in the Blend Mode drop down menu. It will darken any colour lighter than itself, meaning if the shadow is above a black outline, you wont see where the overlap of the shadow occurs - just on the lighter fill colour. That reduces your overall number of shapes by 1/3rd. Hope that makes sense!
One word: Overlord!!! You can't talk about ai to ae without using overlord! It's changed my workflow forever. No needing to mess around with files and ai layers, just hit import and you're done!
Absolutely! It's one of my favorite plugins. I use it almost every day. :D I try to keep my tuts plugin free for the kids. Plugins make it a helluva lot easier, just don't want people to think they're the only way :)
This is amazing, but I can't believe how time consuming it is just to do 20 frames. So many commercial clients now looking for this style of work but they balk at the cost when you tell them how long it'll take to do.
Yeah making 20 frames is already time consuming. But continuing to make, edit, and dub this into a concise tutorial is on another level. I adore Ben's hardwork on this! Auto subscribe!
Haha, I agree. Art school literally costs so so much, why don't we just take advantage of the online resources?! Thank you so much for your awesome comment. :)
Thank u sooo much Ben, I've been so inspired since I discovered you (this week :). Staying motivated is so hard but watching you makes it easier, you explain clearly and with enthusiasm. PLS keep makimg them
You may be a beginner at cartoon animation dynamics but I see go gaps in expertise here. It does demonstrate how the rigors of cartoon animation aren't for the faint of heart but the results are worth it. I enjoy seeing AE implemented this way and not just another bread-and-butter "cool" logo ...followed by everyone copying it.
Omg, I can't believe how amazing your workflow is. I'm so glad I discovered you. I'm studying animation, and a few weeks ago I finished my short film, and I just wanna say thank you, bc your videos really helped/inspired me :)
this is SOOOO helpful to get an inside look on the process. Just came across your youtube and instagram and I'm just learning animation so I'll be deep in your content for a while lol. thanks so much Ben 🙏🏼
As an animator in training (they should give me a paper hat) via self teaching and trial by fire work, I really appreciated seeing your workflow. Also, I want to discover the great animators and illustrators out there to watch and learn from. Anyone have suggestions?
@@BenMarriott thank you, i like the way you explain the process without getting in too much details, you are always focused on the main subject which is amazing, thank you again.
Hey Ben, can you please do a video where you show your process of creating frame by frame on photoshop? Exactly similar to the process shown in this video but in-depth. Would be great!
For that shading, you could try a inner shadow layer style set to darken, although you'd have less control. Would be easier to get that grainy look though. Alternatively I'd use a merge paths set to intersect with the original to be able to be a little bit more rough on drawing those darker parts. Great tut though, love the applications of the animation principles!
I hate illustrator so much, it’s crazy. I love the drawing tools in Animate. It feels like actual drawing and is as simple as Microsoft paint where illustrator is a pain in the ass. I can’t even draw round pupils but at least they have a paint bucket tool since they bought macromedia. Yes I’m using it for so long and it boggles my mind that people were okay with it not having a paint bucket. Drawing in illustrator is okay once you purchase several drawing extensions which just feel more natural but you don’t have those if you hop from company to company as a freelancer and I just wish it would feel like Animate. I also wish After Effects would integrate more from Animate. I know we have adobe dynamic link or whatever it’s called but still there is so much more potential.
Would love to see a video of you using rubber hose and/or duik. frame by frame is impressive but not doing it is one of the reasons I am learning AE. Saying that a real in depth video of what you know about frame by frame would be great too! Thanks for your uploads
Thanks so much! I'll definitely be covering basic rigging in the future. I use limber for most of my rigging at the moment, because it's the most intuitive for me :)

@@BenMarriott hello I'm really sad that my school is still teaching Macromedia Flash which is already old, what should I do?
@@jirehla-ab1671 This was done in flash - ua-cam.com/video/OBk3ynRbtsw/v-deo.html - check out the behind the scenes. It's not always the tool.
Hahahhahahahhaha hilarious
Why coz ben wants me to watch 😁
@@jirehla-ab1671 spank them
you have the most high budget intro, ever
Thanks so much! So glad you like it :D
*No question*
i literally just said that intro was so great
@@BenMarriotthow long did that take??

Don't let this distract you from the fact that we're currently inside a *bat's* butt

Even worse now with corona lol

I- I had no idea u can animate on photoshop
Omg, I can't believe you're still so humble after these achievements! Congrats on the 20k!! woohoo
Thank you so much!

I love how he smashes the trash can lid on himself elegantly, with the pinkie raised
aha ya true.just like drinking a cuppa tea.
man you're magician
I’m just getting attracted to Ae and found your videos. I would love to learn everything you’re doing. Amazing work.
Awesome, thank you man! I'm so glad you like them :)

Excellent

Thanks so much! It's so nice to find clients who understand how long animation takes :D
Yeah what client can afford this! This is mental. Nice work Ben.

There has to be an easier way to do that shading...
great video man!
Ben, you're amazing. Thank you for being so kind and posting all these helpful tutorials. They mean the world to a broke art school kid.
Haha, I agree. Art school literally costs so so much, why don't we just take advantage of the online resources?! Thank you so much for your awesome comment. :)
Bro, you are the best...
I'm happy to hear you work with photoshop for animation.
Excellent tutorial! The collaboration with Burnt Toast brings a fresh perspective to the Illustrator to After Effects workflow.
You are a legend dude, I am going to watch your entire videos on today. :)
and build tracks from there and leave the rest for a later session. I did both but did the first way initially and it took a day to get through
Love all your videos.
Love this

You're sparking up my passion for motion design right there

You are soooo gooood! Please, keep going!
Thanks so much! I'm not stopping any time soon :D
I think I want to try this
Thank you for this wonderful video, also thank you for the Arabic translation😍🥰💗

YOu are insane, I am insane for trying this.
Holy wow! fantastic job.
Thanks so much! :D

Much love from Malaysia, thanks for this awesome tutorial.

Insane work! Appreciate your efforts and thanks a lot for the video :)
Brilliant little tut!
Such amazing work - Bravo!
Nicely done
Great tutorial! 😊👍
Would love to see a video of you using rubber hose and/or duik. frame by frame is impressive but not doing it is one of the reasons I am learning AE.
Saying that a real in depth video of what you know about frame by frame would be great too!
Thanks for your uploads
Me too
Thanks so much! I'll definitely be covering basic rigging in the future. I use limber for most of my rigging at the moment, because it's the most intuitive for me :)
this is great mate!
I was watching the intro and I was like, “wow this is like the amazing world of gum-oh. It’s the same guy.”
Haha, thank you! :)
Ben Marriott WOW. this video is almost 2 months old and you’re still talking to fans and stuff on it. Mad respect.
These quick breakdown are lovely, can't wait for more :3
Thank you so much! There'll be more of these coming soon! :)
YOU ARE A MASTER.. THANKS.
FROM PERÚ.
Super helpful as always! 😃
Thanks a bunch, Andy :)
Really cool video. Also, I agree that your intro is on another level. I can't imagine how long that intro took to do
Thank you so much for the appreciation. The intro really took me a lot of time to make, haha :)
@@BenMarriott well the time was definetely worth it. Slowly watching some of your videos daily. Very motivational stuff
Cool video. Definitely worth getting the Overlord plugin if you're going from illustrator to after effects a lot though
You should make courses on Skillshare! Would totally pay for it.
Thanks so much! :D I really appreciate the support
