Learning How To Animate as a Beginner | Part 1 - The Basics and Program
Hello everyone. If you’re currently subscribed to me, you probably know me from my short animations or drawings (but most likely that cat video I drew). I finally decided to make an actual YouTube video going over how I’m learning to animate. I hope to keep making videos about my experience until I become at least somewhat decent at short animations.
Also, I know that I should be practicing more of the fundamentals, which I plan on doing. I just wanted to do something more interesting that I enjoyed instead of jumping into some sort of studious practice/study routine. I think once I do go the route of more traditional practicing, I will do some research on it and make a video about that and my experience there as well.
This is my first video so it’s definitely not perfect. I hope the audio is clear enough and I’m not talking too fast. I had more issues trying to get that voice over to work than anything else making this video. Hopefully all the points and topics I tried to cover this video came across clear enough. The videos I shot were all out of order and I tried to write the script based off the footage I had, so if some stuff seems weirdly placed or out of order that’s the reason.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video and maybe get some inspiration out of it. If you would like to see more of my content, check me out on my other socials too.
Thank you for reading all this stuff if you made it this far down! :)
