Hello,

I would like to make YouTube video math tutorials. The big portion will be related to math formulas animation to show the problem solutions. So I need pretty basic animations: move and resize objects (numbers and simbols), change color, highlight draw on a whiteboard and similar simple things.

Help me find a short animated film

By KXKVI | Sunday, July 16, 2023 at 7:51pm

Hello,

I am trying to find the name and/or animator who created a film I saw at an animation festival at a local art theater around 1990 or so.

The 2D animated film was based on a single frame of a unique, goofy-looking character, standing in a blank background. The creator sent this one frame to around 20-30 animators around the world, with the instructions to create a short scene that started with that frame, and ended with that frame. The original animator then collected all the parts and put them together into the final film.

How to make an ugly character

If I want to draw or make a very ugly and creepy realistic looking female animated character, that doesn't have a fantasy appearance, like fantasy vampires or witches. How should I make her facial and physical features, such as her nose, mouth, ears, forehead, cheeks etc.? Can you please provide me with some already existing animated female characters that fit this description, a one that is even uglier than the lunch lady in this link for instance.

Animators Needed for Interview Project

By Stain | Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 5:24am

Hello! I am an AP research student focusing on my interest in animation. The research question I've decided to research is "How does the lack of consideration given to animated projects affect animators that have put their work into streaming services?"

 

Currently I'm looking for animators to be interviewed via zoom or audio call (whichever you prefer). In the current age of streaming services, animated shows have faced sub-par treatment in terms of cancellation and funding. I want to see how extensive this issue is on the individual animator level.
