    Love how you framed it with how the animation is "feeling." Reminding beginners it's an intuitive process is really important!

    • @AlexGriggAnimation
      @AlexGriggAnimation  2 роки тому +68

    I don't think I've ever seen or heard these principles explained this clearly. I usually absolutely HATE doing really basic "beginner exercises" like animating a ball, but halfway through this video I was ITCHING to animate a ball. XD

    I cant thank you enough for this amazing animation crash course, I always wanted to see these core principles of animation put together, the 12 ones are kinda overwhelming to me sometimes, you put it so well, thank you so much, your channel is like a goldmine for beginner animators like me, so entertaining and easy to understand! You are such a great teacher! THANK YOU!!!

    • @AlexGriggAnimation

    Wooooaahh, every word you say in this video feels like im learning how to animate for the first time again. Its just that you really explained how the basics of animation works well, like how i studied too much before and u just made it into one video. Ty man i rlly forgot how to animate so i had to study again, totally give u a sub, u deserved it

    Thank You so much this, I have turned on YT notification and can't wait for more lessons from you.
    I have a request,
    I always mix up things between timing and spacing and get confused between the two. It would there be great if there will be in depth tutorial on just 'timing and spacing' the things and how to learn spacing and measure timing of different element and objects.
    ps - I think it would be nice if you could create a twitter/instagram account and a Hashtag so we could post our studies, may be it would create a community of animators and you could see how your students are doing. Thanks again.
