I'm surprised at how actually detailed this tutorial is. I'm not even kidding when I say that I've NEVER seen a tutorial this detailed and explained so simply. Even a beginner would understand this. Love the examples too! They make it so much easier to understand. Most tutorials leave me confused, but this made everything clear to me.
@@highdefinition450 Yeah, I don't think someone experienced would in that case watch this, unless they'd want to learn new techniques/whatnot. You can never know enough and it's always great to keep learning more.
@@yesno1067 That's what I was saying, experienced people probably aren't watching this. It's obviously FOR beginners, so it's to be expected that they can understand it. It'd be a pretty bad tutorial if its target audience couldn't understand it haha
This video is worth $857.68 for a short course in some universities from where i live which is Philippines and i get to watch it for free on this channel.
Absolutely, I have a degree that i don't feel i learned anything from, deflated and just lost but this video is unbelievable!! cannot recommend enough!! thank you!!
If you wanna take things to another level then I suggest to get “Animators Survival Kit” which is under 100$ but if you’re cheap then just stick with this video Edit: ok guys, when I said he was “cheap” I didn’t mean to insult the poor dude please don’t take it the wrong way
The rebellion of teaching people things for free is the greatest, most heroic, mostly godly and noble thing you could possibly do. We have deprived ourselves of knowledge so much today in favor of profit and it is heartbreaking, disheartening, and infuriating. Thank you for this gift.
Today? As opposed to when? We're moving in the right direction; today we have more freedom of information than we've ever had before! In the past, trade secrets were guarded by nepotism, guilds, political boundaries, and class. Knowledge was often kept to the literate and literacy was far from universal. Even the great library of Alexandria's vast knowledge didn't always make it past the doors onto the streets of the city in which it stood, because knowledge was seen as a profession and not something everyone ought to attain. Yes, there is a lot of profit seeking today and we should be wary of that, but we're still going the right way and we're doing better than our ancestors ever could. This is reason to celebrate.

-Literally 10 second intro, and right into the topic. -12 principles explained in less than half an hour. -Consised, yet still detailed. Really well explained. -Very clear visuals that help emphasize the points and doesn't overstay it's use. This is not only a great video to learn animation principles, but also a great overall presentation. So much that you can learn from this video, it's fantastic! Love it!
I recommend taking a simple animation you've already done and applying every principle as you go, this will help understand the concept and memorize it better.
Better yet, make a new one and try to apply them this time around. Going back to modify something you've already finished slows down your growth, artists need to always move forward and learn from their mistakes instead of dwelling on them.
I don't animate, but I study nature science. Most of the principles came from basics physics, such as the squash and stretch (elasticity and/or special relativity), the follow through and overlapping (inertia), the timing (graphical physics) or the slow in and slow out (acceleration). The staging, the secondary action, the appeal and the exaggeration are from psychology. The arcs and the solid drawing are physical biology and foreshortening in real life. And all of them are combine with years of animating experience. That is why those principles are still followed through until this day.
Art originated from man observing the world around him and representing it through icons. Therefore, it makes perfect sense why the principles of animation would reflect real life.
I feel like I would watch any educational video on UA-cam instead of going to school, mostly bc I actually learn something useful, but also there’s so much passion and entertaining content here that helps with demonstration bc this guy is a talented animator so he’s not just pretending to know this stuff
It's because you're not curious learning in school which is why you find it boring, you watch educational vids on UA-cam because you searched for it, you searched it because you're curious. Don't get me wrong, I feel the same way too.
Dude serious respect to all animators! 🙌 I am shocked to see how much efforts animators put for such simple cartoons. I can't imagine how strenuous it must be in Anime production. But still they all are just very hard working
I think the only animation principle that only exists in animation and nowhere else is Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose. Anticipation I feel like exists in some other topic besides animation though I can't exactly tell where.
Whilst I'm not doing much animation I must admit, this is probably one of the best videos I've ever seen. Immensely packed with information, but never overloads the viewer, easy to follow, and great content. Just... wow.
I just want you to know that 5 years later you are STILL helping people out here. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the knowledge you have given me….for Free!! ❤❤
Can't imagine how much work this would have taken! I'm making short animations and it feels like they take forever! Super underrated and very educational!
I think at somepoint animators ganz access to the speed force, so they can finish the work their doing. And than again I Look at what people can doodle in mere seconds and I'm like: wow... those are the most pleasing 7 lines I've ever seen
I always have been a drawer and a doodler, but never tried animation. I just got procreate dreams and I think this is a perfect video for someone like me to get started. Thank you so much
@Hidetaka Myazaki I'm sorry, everyone has a different opinion and you have no rights to judge him. If u feel u need to, keep it home. no need to to post it. Someone must have a favourite and how would you feel like if someone said that to you. So shut up weeb. your hentai taste is shittier. Please shut the fuck up if you have nothing nice to say
This video deserves some kind of award or something, really informative! Wouldn't this mainly apply to disneyish cartoony cartoons? I mean i couldn't imagine goku landing from a flight and squishing in shape and volume, or exaggeratedly winding his arm before punching frieza.
It definitely depends on the style you're going for. Anime like you're talking about is generally more gritty/realistic than whimsical, so there are levels of exaggeration that probably aren't going to be hit in anime style animation. However,it's still hugely important to make 100% clear the action happening on-screen. Goku might not blob outward when he lands, but the force of the impact still needs to squash him down through how his knees bend and his chest follows through. The wind-ups for his punches might not be incredibly large, but perhaps they're emphasized with slow-mo or wind effects on the sides of the screen.
No he deff wind or pull back when punching actually they have a whole scene for that lol but ur also right more like i think its called rubber hose animation which is what disney old cartoons used
As a seasoned "straight ahead animator" who has done it this way for over 20 years, this Pose to Pose lesson was quite a revelation. I will need to look into this more (still unsure how exactly to do it), for eg in an app such as Clip Studio, that means that you need to make a key pose every 5 or 10 frames, then insert extremes in between them. Which means you need to set the onion skin to "seeing previously 5-10 frames." This is quite interesting, I will definitely try it. I never went to Animation school, but look at how you can learn such a revelation on a video such as this. This video is excellent.
This is one of the best animation tutorials I have ever seen, everything is explained very well with great examples to understand why those principles are so important.
The fact that i wrote everything with points and highlighting tips....while watching his video 😭😭😭 I just loved your knowledge and the way you teach bro. God bless you🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤. (In case I'll forget something while animating I'll watch my notes )😅
I'm an aspiring animator working on my most beloved project entitled 'Mrs. Devious'. Although it's humor is meant to be thought provoking and mature, I also want for there to also be moments of physical comedy. For this, it is imperative that I learn these principles. Watching this video intimidated me, seeing as how many aspects go into animation, but it also gave me a new perspective that I'd not seen taking animation classes in school. Thanks so much for making this! It truly helps!
@@alfiedupreezI don't currently; the project is still in very early stages of development. However, in the future, I intend to compile all my concept sketches, designs, and layouts into a file to release. Thanks so much for taking interest!
I’ve been watching this video for years and I still think it’s the most beautiful thing on this website. It genuinely is the most pure, helpful, heart cleansing, genius video ever made. I know this comment might seem like a lot, especially for a video about the principals about the animation, but this video means so much to me and it would break my heart if it disappeared. Thank you Alan Becker, to creating an honestly nostalgic and meaningful video for me and the rest of us
I feel like I just stolen a masterclass that should be paid! This was phenomenal! Congratulations! Now...how will I apply what I learned to my engineer career...oopsie...
I'm studying the subject Motion Design at College. My major is Cinema. I know nothing about it but this tutorial explained and helped me a lot. Thanx Mr. Becker. My professor introduce us to your channel. It's very useful, easy to understand and clear.
As someone who does not have much experience at all with animation, watching this is a excellent way to get started! Very professional breakdown of all the principles!
Wow!! 24 minutes that covered all year of the Animation course in University...and the way you explained it makes even Doctor wants to change a profession to animator.
I feel this as if a complete course of animation..... Great efforts..... Fantastic explanation Awsome and perfect illustrations.. Thanks a lot, I m not at all an animator still couldn't resist to watch this completely
Since this video has subtitle, you can just download the .srt file of this video to get the whole script, then just arrange the paragraph to make it tidy.
This was more useful than that year long class of digital tech that I had. The teacher never would teach and wasn't really good at getting the students engaged in what we were doing. I wanted to do animation and have the tiniest bit of hope that I could do something with it in the future.
Too bad most people on this planet don't know how to live without needing to make thousands of dollars every month by part-time jobs. Schools [in the government-invented sense] should not exist at all. Any graduate/expert animator who knows how to live without paying any taxes, knows how to grow his own food, knows how to eat only once per day (dinner, like I do), and knows how to live without needing to be connected to any government-operated utility grids, could easily open their own "schools" to teach animation at virtually no cost to students, whom should also be taught how to live without needing monthly thousands of dollars.
@KamiKuru You fail to explain what makes me wrong about anything I said. What makes you think I'm "out of touch with reality" as you call it? Do you assume that the majority of mankind is born incapable of living in harmony with natural law [which was the main point of my initial reply]? You're not making any sense.
While I myself Can’t draw too well or too quick, and I don’t have enough free time to learn, this is still very interesting. I hope animation classes show these videos to their students (though in a classroom setting, I would feel pretty overwhelmed, but that’s just me.)
WTH THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH!!! I haven't been animating for MONTHS because I felt like I have stopped animating greatly, and decided to actually try animating frame by frame, but something stopped me: I didn't 100% know how to draw frame by frame, but hey today i've been blessed by this video! This video actually taught me A LOT that I didn't know and really, I thank myself for watching this video before animating. Great job!

I’m self taught, and I get better as I teach myself. And I use and or learn things from tutorials and other vids just like this, but I get most of my skills from stuff in this video
Alan, my guy, even after all these years, your video is being used in my college as part of a presentation of the 12 principles, simply because of how good it is
As someone who has wanted to get into animation for years, I am quite thankful for this video...but then again, a lot of old-school cartoons have inadvertently taught me this without even a single tutorial. Lol
Right?! Nice to know that all that time spent watching cartoons was actually teaching me something! And our parents (at least mine) always made too much TV seem like a bad thing 😌
I really love animating but i never went to a school for it or really sat down and learned how to do it. It was usually a watch and then do kind of situation but i'm really happy you made this video cus i know if i want to be a good or professional animator i gotta learn these things so thank you ^^
I've noticed that there are cases in animation where you'd want to deliberately ignore some of these. For example... Say you want more of a comedic effect from your punch, but still want it to be powerful; can skip the anticipation step to really emphasize the "BEGONE!!!" factor of it.
If you want to see the frame rates like this 17:46 specifically, pause the video and press < > these buttons. It will show you the frames one by one. You're welcome.
This was an INCREDIBLY HELPFUL video! I have a 12 year old daughter who has just begun flipbook animations, and this one video will be a huge kickstart for her progress! Thank you!
i'm speechless from how amazing this tutorial is like... i opened up noted and written down everthing. thank you so much for your knowledge!! you're amazing!!
me: *takes art class for 2 years* also me: *watches a 24 minute video from an animation professional* i can proudly say the 24 minute video taught me more about art and animation that the 2 years of education.
Well there's the peer-to-peer feedback, constructive critiques, networking, you get a understanding of working under stress and deadlines, and you get to talk to the art professor personally.
Best tutorial ever. Almost all the tutorial I have seen says almost the same thing like "make a good story, know your animation, think what you are gonna do blah blah blah".
As a small animator, my older brother showed me this video(he’s a REALLY good artist and animator) and these steps are gonna be hard, but I hope these will stick on me when I animate. Thanks for the tutorial!
wwooooowww i have never spent 25 minutes of my life learning but finding it enjoyable and interesting like that. It was seemingly boring but if you truly enjoy the subject matter you'll find every bit interesting. Loved this video, will definitely re-watch to refresh my memory of these great techniques when animating.
starting today, Im Scheduling a practise to my daily routine that is to watch this video HONESTLY and learning all the headings and explaination of it like I learn my school stuff. Its summer break so It wont be problematic, wish me luck!❤🎉
I knew nothing about animation! Just stumbled upon this video and watched it out of curiosity. Must say, it's a brilliant introduction to the world of animation!
These Principles really helped me out alot with my animations. i owe you all my thanks.

I just wanted to say, thank you so much for making this video! I really needed to go through the principles again after taking a break from art and I feel like this has really helped me! 😊
Oh wow I learned a lot! I’m going to high school in a few months, and it said in that high school they are teaching animation. I was so excited to learn more about animation, but it was all a lie. Well I thought it could be better to learn on my own, but watching this... wow! Now I can finally make something look realistic and I know when to go overboard and not. I usually animate per frame but it makes things look weird and shaky. So I am very thankful for this and keep up the great work!
Leila Bagaze I use an app called FlipAClip! It’s free and it’s awesome! You should go try it, but it only work for tablets and phones.. and not computers. Omg you might think it’s bad but search up Flipaclip masters or look at my vids and you’ll see the amazing things you can do with it! Also I know how to make things not shaky and not look weird! How? By practicing! *I’m really happy to see and know someone who’s interested in animation! It’s tricky but all I can say is.. NEVER GIVE UP AND DO YOUR BEST!!*

I made the mistake of going to school for animation. They started me off in basic classes (figure drawing) so it was awhile before I finally got my first animation class that wasn't about design or storytelling (so no actual animating or sometimes even drawing taking place)
What did this class involve?
WATCHING. UA-cam VIDEOS.
Also some videos from Richard Williams' series that you can find online easily enough if you know where to look but I think the school did pay for them.
Teacher also barely helped us on assignments, was unapproachable and spent most of class working on his own animations, and seemed irritated if you needed help.
A couple of us complained about it at the end of the year and felt unprepared for the next class.
I ended up quitting the school because it was being turned into a diploma mill school (RIP RMCAD's credibility)
which software to use to make these type of coffee background animation videos?
Indeed the speed of learning from UA-cam videos will never be comparable to the speed of learning in classic education it does not matter if its college or university....

For those who lazy😂😂😂
I recommend taking a simple animation you've already done and applying every principle as you go, this will help understand the concept and memorize it better.
My friend I liked so much your tip... This is really interesting to do.
wow, many thanks!
thank you very much!!
Better yet, make a new one and try to apply them this time around. Going back to modify something you've already finished slows down your growth, artists need to always move forward and learn from their mistakes instead of dwelling on them.
Ok thanks
Pose-to-pose just saved my entire life

I cannot imagine how long this took to animate.
I'm telling you
espically the "ones" section
Naruto Uzumaki they are a start. Try and watch this video to get better
@Golden Experience Requiem hmmm... 🤔 I think you have a point..
As an animator like myself i am guessing 1 month if he worked all day
2 months and maybe 1 week if he takes hes time
I don't animate, but I study nature science. Most of the principles came from basics physics, such as the squash and stretch (elasticity and/or special relativity), the follow through and overlapping (inertia), the timing (graphical physics) or the slow in and slow out (acceleration). The staging, the secondary action, the appeal and the exaggeration are from psychology. The arcs and the solid drawing are physical biology and foreshortening in real life. And all of them are combine with years of animating experience. That is why those principles are still followed through until this day.
Art originated from man observing the world around him and representing it through icons.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense why the principles of animation would reflect real life.
wow.
i'm glad i took physics
wow interesting. i'm interested in learning how to animate and this comment inspired me to be more interested.
I'm supprised by the fact that I'm focusing on this video much better than any lessons in my art class

I feel like I would watch any educational video on UA-cam instead of going to school, mostly bc I actually learn something useful, but also there’s so much passion and entertaining content here that helps with demonstration bc this guy is a talented animator so he’s not just pretending to know this stuff
Only difference: in school you normally apply the principles after learning them. And you get hold accountable to finishing these projects
It's because you're not curious learning in school which is why you find it boring, you watch educational vids on UA-cam because you searched for it, you searched it because you're curious. Don't get me wrong, I feel the same way too.

Dude serious respect to all animators! 🙌 I am shocked to see how much efforts animators put for such simple cartoons. I can't imagine how strenuous it must be in Anime production. But still they all are just very hard working
Yep u r right, I was also thinking how hard it could be ,but when i started animating i get the answer
Thanks animations is hard
Bro took me 8 hours to make one minute simple animation
I think the only animation principle that only exists in animation and nowhere else is Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose. Anticipation I feel like exists in some other topic besides animation though I can't exactly tell where.
Been animating for years and I still come back to this video as a refresher. You can never get to much of the basics.
Wow you must be good at animating

I wouldn't doubt you if you told me this was a full semester course at colleges.
It is
That's a whole 12 principles you have to practice and use in animated artwork. Sounds like it'd be a pretty long course imo.
@@genderfr3ak Is it really necessary to take a $6000-$8000 college course to do that though?
@@eggyrepublic nope i never defended the price but... it's def gonna be a long fuckin course

Indeed!
I think at somepoint animators ganz access to the speed force, so they can finish the work their doing.

This video deserves some kind of award or something, really informative! Wouldn't this mainly apply to disneyish cartoony cartoons? I mean i couldn't imagine goku landing from a flight and squishing in shape and volume, or exaggeratedly winding his arm before punching frieza.
It definitely depends on the style you're going for. Anime like you're talking about is generally more gritty/realistic than whimsical, so there are levels of exaggeration that probably aren't going to be hit in anime style animation. However,it's still hugely important to make 100% clear the action happening on-screen. Goku might not blob outward when he lands, but the force of the impact still needs to squash him down through how his knees bend and his chest follows through. The wind-ups for his punches might not be incredibly large, but perhaps they're emphasized with slow-mo or wind effects on the sides of the screen.
I'm pretty sure goku isn't a water balloon
No he deff wind or pull back when punching actually they have a whole scene for that lol but ur also right more like i think its called rubber hose animation which is what disney old cartoons used
Kill la kill, panty and stocking have squishy animation
@@Over_easy_eggs actually goku does squash watch again
I can't believe how well made this is. The examples are just so well-chosen, you can almost tell he is speaking from his own experience!
As a seasoned "straight ahead animator" who has done it this way for over 20 years, this Pose to Pose lesson was quite a revelation. I will need to look into this more (still unsure how exactly to do it), for eg in an app such as Clip Studio, that means that you need to make a key pose every 5 or 10 frames, then insert extremes in between them. Which means you need to set the onion skin to "seeing previously 5-10 frames." This is quite interesting, I will definitely try it. I never went to Animation school, but look at how you can learn such a revelation on a video such as this. This video is excellent.
im new to animation, and i'm just adding more frames into it as i go (not adding more frames between untill i need frames between) i use flipaclip btw
This is one of the best animation tutorials I have ever seen, everything is explained very well with great examples to understand why those principles are so important.

This was more useful than that year long class of digital tech that I had. The teacher never would teach and wasn't really good at getting the students engaged in what we were doing. I wanted to do animation and have the tiniest bit of hope that I could do something with it in the future.
Too bad most people on this planet don't know how to live without needing to make thousands of dollars every month by part-time jobs. Schools [in the government-invented sense] should not exist at all. Any graduate/expert animator who knows how to live without paying any taxes, knows how to grow his own food, knows how to eat only once per day (dinner, like I do), and knows how to live without needing to be connected to any government-operated utility grids, could easily open their own "schools" to teach animation at virtually no cost to students, whom should also be taught how to live without needing monthly thousands of dollars.

While I myself Can’t draw too well or too quick, and I don’t have enough free time to learn, this is still very interesting. I hope animation classes show these videos to their students (though in a classroom setting, I would feel pretty overwhelmed, but that’s just me.)

I've noticed that there are cases in animation where you'd want to deliberately ignore some of these.
For example... Say you want more of a comedic effect from your punch, but still want it to be powerful; can skip the anticipation step to really emphasize the "BEGONE!!!" factor of it.
