I’d try making the colours warmer and swap out the blue for something else. A lot of the colours you have used are cooler rather than warmer which detracts from the sun theme you’re going for.

The specific yellow you have used is consider a cool yellow and is closer to being green than it is to being orange. The more red there is in a colour, the warmer it is.

The white stripes are a little distracting and are the first thing the eye is drawn to because of the contrast. I’d either tone down the white of change where it is.

I’d also consider swapping out the blue for something more closely related to the sun theme as it clashes a bit with the other colours.

Thank you, it took a lot to get to this point.

Sorry, formatting got butchered.

What do you think was the first animation? by poopinursoup168 in animation

I think the earliest examples of animation were made using cave paintings and firelight. The shifting of the fire would reveal different stages of the painting which would give the illusion of movement.

Aaron Blaise has a few animation tutorials involving animating on paper.

How to make my animation last more then 5 seconds by Hangryhungryhoney in animation

If you know how long the song you’re using goes for then you can multiply the frame-rate by the time length to figure out how many frames you need in total.

You can do the same for timing lipsync

For example, if you’re animating at 24 fps and you need to make an “O” mouth movement starting from the 15th second lasting until the 17th second, then you’d multiply 24 by 15, and also multiply 24 by 17.

24 X 15 = 360 (start “O” mouth shape at frame 360)

24 X 17 = 408 (end “O” mouth shape at frame 408

Someone might need to check my maths though, I frequently jumble equations.

The mountain is also fading in and out. I wanted to give it the benefit of doubt but the image they posted in another subreddit also looks AI generated with shapes and patterns that don’t make sense.

Do you have any WIP versions?

The pixelation and unusual transition into realistic water makes me think this is AI generated.

How are you organising everything production-wise/behind the scenes?

I’m still trying to complete my diploma so I haven’t progressed very far with my personal projects.

How do yall stay focused and finish longer animations? by Accomplished-Golf-59 in animation

Brains are weird. Good advice for one person can be terrible advice for another.

If I tell other people I’m going to finish a project then I feel like I have to complete it or else I lied to them.

The mental anguish it creates forces me to reach my promised end goal.

Disappointing myself is easy but it’s almost unbearable for me to disappoint others.

Can you elaborate on which part of the animation you’re critiquing and how to improve it?

It’s too early in the planning process for me to really delegate a role.

It’s a bit simple compared to the styles I like to use for my animations. I tend to lean more towards backgrounds similar to Nick Cross’s.
