  • A behind the scenes look at the Balloons animation meme! Watch the meme here: • Balloons Animation Meme
    Most of the reference footage I filmed myself doing the actions so yes that is me most of the time! Also the fursuit is mine and I made it myself! About 2 of the scenes I didn't use reference for. 2 scenes I used outside sources for the juggling and shuffle dance!
    I did do a lot of rotoscoping initially and you can see that I followed my reference quite closely, which is how I was able to get such natural and realistic motion. Don't underestimate the power of reference!! Also! Rotoscoping is NOT cheating and it's a very useful tool! I traced over my footage and expanded the animation based on that. I also plan on releasing a video soon that shows more of the process behind what goes into a single scene so look out for that video soon!
    Thanks so much for the love so far on the Balloons meme! Keep on watching and enjoying it and share it around!
    I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has about the process of making the meme!
    Software:
    Adobe Animate for the animation
    Adobe Premiere for editing

    This is awesome!! I think a lot of artists are scared of using references because they think it's "cheating" or something but it's sooo helpful especially when you're animating the whole body. Keeping the body looking natural and balanced is hard! I think it's great that you're showing your process so other artists can look at this and be more open to using reference. it's a great tool
    also im still rewatching this animation every single time it comes up on my twitter feed or youtube recommended help im addicted

      Absolutely agreed! Reference is insanely helpful and I always stress for people to use it whenever possible because it's just so helpful. I always view it more as a helpful tool than "cheating." Professional animators film themselves for reference all the time! And I'm really happy that you're loving it! I really appreciate it!

    As I’ve only ever dabbled a tiny bit with Flipnote Studio and never really wrapped my head around framerates, key frames, in betweens, and positioning markers, I see a lot of value in RL references, as they seem to assist very nicely in refining the positioning and timing.

    So interesting how you use real life references, I’ve always thought of doing that and I might tbh it sounds like a pretty good idea especially for starters too since you need lottts of reference before doing a walk cycle or an animation by memory. I liked how lively this turned out all your animations are veryyy smooth and fluid. (But the references were so funny lmao-) anyway good animation!
