- Опубліковано 28 січ 2025
- Hey guys, This animation episode is very important in creating a great action scene of any kind, in film directing, stop motion, animation or even in graphic novels or still art work. It is at the foundation of all of these disciplines! It was hard to teach so many practical techniques in just one video, but you can watch the second half on my website AnimatorGuild:

I highly recommend that you watch the second half as well. This is essential knowledge!

I work as a freelance animator and Illustrator
This was just what I needed, really wanna make awesome fight scenes. Thanks for sharing
Same here
man.. just love your style.. wish one day i start making animations with people like you.. i think thats one of my top dreams.. make animation with other animators.. and make good content :o you do have a lot of skills.. need to train a lot!
Elton Fortes it’s never too late to start Man I am trying to get a new laptop and a drawing monitor to get started
I'm starting to study your animation tutorials because I want to try to make my own scenes for a fighting game I want to make in the future, the animations I want to make are going to be examples of how the fights would play out.
so I have noticed a huge difference in cartoons and anime cartoons over exaggerate a hell of a lot of stuff and anime is really realistic with movements do anime animators ever use like squash and stretch? is it like just a one frame and done kinda thing ?
The Energetic Turtle it's really just depends on the animes style. some do use squash and stretch ex: (mob psycho 100 and one punch man).
I mean naruto uses a lot of smear frames but that’s different than squash and stretch
Yeah but I still think they use a little and it depends on the art style. But I don’t really know
>cartoon
>anime
>difference
Lol, shut up weeb.
Anime is kinda semi realistic, so the animation principle is kinda subtle. Not too much, and also not lacking.
i remember when i subscribed to you and u then had 1500 and u said il always be in your heart and actually your videos helped me make my sprites(characters) smoother i made a animation that a character drops a mask and its smooth
blood, tears and sweat have been shed to make this amazing animation
I wanna make a animated series with awesome story, music and fights !
Thanks for this video .
Can you make a video about Camera Movements
You’re a great artist 🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Looking forward’ to seeing more from you
Have you done any tutorials on finalising a scene. I'm good with roughing out a fluid animation but then when it comes to the colouring and cleanup, I really struggle.
i've done one or two. Look back to some of my older tutorials and you will find them. I could make some more but the truth is that I haven't fully coloured or cleaned up animation in quite a long time. I mainly just take things to the rough stage.
That isn't to say that I don't know how. I just don't have many examples from this year of me doing it. It might be a little while before I fully render something but when i do I will document it for you
though I went to 3D animations rather than the 2D styles you seen before hand, this really helpful and can maybe be incorporated into my new videos.
thanks Howard.
X-Kishio
+X-Kishio I think that most of the principles covered in this can apply to any type of animation; 3d, stop motion, 2d, cutout etc. Thanks for commenting!
+Howard Wimshurst no problem. it's been a while since I have. and your videos and support in the beginning meant a lot. thank you.
keep up the amazing work.
a thing thats helpful for in the weeds fisticuff animation is thinking about the action in "turns" and numbers, Character A 'attacks' ChB, 1, 1, 2,3, (Punch, back off, punch punch punch, back off), thats ChA's turn, and then ChB 's Turn comes around.
really nice video man, just introducing myself to animation and i found your video which i think is very catching :)
Yeah at last...i been wait for this video XD
This is a really well thought out tutorial. I found it very helpful due to the nature of my animations. Thank you very much for all the help :D... btw how do you compose bodies so quickly?
+Yukii Teru thanks Yukii! I will make a tutorial on how to compose bodies quickly! Thanks for the suggestion.
The fastest way to learn how to draw bodies quickly is to do timed life drawing sessions. This is where you are timed to draw the human body (from reference) in a very short time. The quickest life drawing sketches can take 30 seconds or less but normally I am more comfortable with 2 minutes. this forces you to communicate the human body in a very efficient way.
I dont know if anyone will see this but I hope someone does and can help me with a question.
If I have two characters that are battling and the camera is moving around my characters, how would I animate the background? Is there a certain trick? How do I do that?
I have same question
best animate tutorial ever
thnx man
you're welcome man, glad I could help people in a small way
Your scrawls are the masterpiece
Howard:They're not idiots. *Tries to be inaudible*: most of the time. Lmao I died laughing 😂😂😂😂😂
Im a bit late to this video lmao but tysm bro this was so helpful
You make it look easy, I’m too scared to try; I’m probably overthinking
try man its okay if your awful it takes practice this guys been doing it for ages, i started with flipbooks and then stickmen on ms paint puttingf the images on microsoft movie maker and making the slides short to replicate frames.
if you have the oppurtunity learn the basics you can tell your friends and you might even find a passion.
you do you bro just have a good time no point stressing
There are lot important things your saying here. but after i see the tutorial i just feel i have not been able to point out that this is what i have learnt. May be its probably going over my head. :P . I want to learn these techniques, Please make a series like complete process if possible. and are there tutorials dumb(ed) down a bit?. :P Thank you for the tutorials!!
Yasss bro you made my animations improve
Why da hell do you make it look so easy..
Btw,request; Can you make a video bout how you can make those air or wind bursts when its like ur gonna punch or something *
(Sorry if im really late,im 13 and i started thinking maybe i can animate..as i started searching for animation tutorials,i saw yours)
*p.s. if there already is,pls dont judge.
you deserve more subscribers!
+RMAnimations hopefully I will get them in time if I work hard :)
god bless you. this is inspring me to put my own animation out there
This is exactly what I asked for and needed. You're great. Thanks!
+PotstickerNinja22 really glad I could help you out! Happy animating!
+Howard Wimshurst how do i get my tools back? because they are gone! pls help
+Howard Wimshurst never mind
on the top menu it should be under Windows where you can toggle the different menus on and off
+Howard Wimshurst yeah i watched a tutorial
what program are you using?
"you dont have to spell it out for your audience, They're not idiots... Most of the time..." - Howard Wimshurst 2016
Woah. Woah do you get those visual effects? I try time and again but i can never get my vfx to look natural...
+Andy Studios I'll make a tutorial on visual effects!
oh cool. thanks
I'm confused... I downloaded the demo files and there is a ton of stuff in the timeline that I don't understand at all. I don't remember seeing you go over a lot of stuff that's in there. Have you made a video that went over this stuff step by step? If not, would you ever consider showing the basic process of how/when to use the different things in the timeline?
+Ian Dig i will try to make a demonstration of the things in the timeline. In the meantime I suggest you watch my Flash basics tutorial which might clarify some of what you will see on the timeline. you can access the tutorial in the member's section
alrighty. thanks.
Nice thanks for the idea for the coming youtube channel
hey is the a scene from that animation short bout the base jumpers?
This was 8 years ago, can you please remake it with your better knowledge now? And please make it 5 hours longer or more
interesting, i use some of these techniques in my paint animations, but i took away some cool ideas from this
Great tips!
What animating software is he using in this vid?
He uses animate cc in this vid, but recently he uses tv paint
u inspire me mate
Could you just set the frame rate to 12, so you dont have to double frame? or would that mess up the framing of the animation?
+HollowfiedMajin you can set the frame rate to 12 but then you don't have the option to put animation on singles when you need to so why would you want to? There are times when I want to ramp the frame rate up to 24 to give a certain effect
+HollowfiedMajin plus you can intersperse triple-frames and sometimes double-frame two different characters on alternating frames
HollowfiedMajin it depends on what your trying to achieve. does the movement require fluidity or speed? less frames for speed, more frames for fluidity. they are also interchangeable. it all depends on the illusion and what you are trying to achieve.
Hey, what software did you use for this please?
What's the name of the app that u use?
How do I set the lines to go outside the white area
second and thanks for the video bro each one helps

no :)
@@HowardWimshurst Is animating a fight scene really simple?
Thank yoh Sensei
huh, pretty nice. I dont particularly like your style of animating, but I like some aspects of it, such as the swifts. But, are you part of some kind of community? I feel like ive seen you somewhere before.
Is it possible on flash cs4?

im very good at fullbody i wont call myself a pro but i can do things very well
hope we can do or if i can help u with some animation cuz i want to be experienced in these things and by that i mean working with other people on a project or working for someone on a project
+DaveMegalol You can't just tell him that in a youtube comment. If you're serious then send him a demo reel of your best stuff and he'll talk to you if he needs your skills
Is it fine with furries? I want to animate a series of furries...
whatever boats your float
first
Im so sorry, but the moment the tutorial started, i got so bored. I exoected a more expressive tutorial. Sorry man but presentation means everything too. You gotta move me.
go find an engaging animation tutorial. there’s none. be patient or don’t learn at all.
Good animaters are good because they spend their time animating, not learning how to teach animating and express themselves. If you want to learn animating, then this video right here is free and has alot of information that can be picked up for free. Take it or leave it, nobody's holding you at gun point.
first first
thanks for the vid hope you read the bible and understand Gods wisdom
