How to use Copied Pairs and Moving holds in Animation RobynO 2022-09-08 | Copied pairs and moving holds are really important techniques to have a clear, grounded, and realistic animation. While they are separate concepts, they often go hand in hand as copied pairs are most commonly used in the blocking phase of planning your animation and its timing, and they later turn into moving holds. It's important to understand how both moving holds and copied pairs work, when to use them, and why they are so important in a good animation. youtube.com/channel/UCd4tG1v5ii8z9IG1i9SI_Tw?sub_confirmation=1My social media:Patreon: patreon.com/RobynOArtInstagram: instagram.com/robyno_artFacebook : facebook.com/RobynO.ArtTwitter: twitter.com/RobynOArt// TOAnimate BLENDER COURSE FOR BEGINNERS:toanimate.teachable.com/courses/blender-basics?affcode=1192974_3yjdmwly// Kayla Unlimited Rig - Josh Sobel:friggingawesome.gumroad.com/l/kaylaunlimited0:00 - Intro0:22 - Copied Pairs5:39 - Moving HoldsSome of the links in this description are affiliate links.

Jibaro | Love, Death + Robots | Animation Analysis and Review RobynO 2022-07-07 | Jibaro - The latest season of Netflix's Love, Death + Robots had some amazing episodes, but one that stood out above the rest was Jibaro, a gruesome story of a siren and a deaf knight. It's an incredible visual treat and there have been many arguments online about whether its actually animated, or if it's live action or motion capture, or even rotoscoping - because it's. Just. That. Good.Of course I had to do an animation breakdown and analysis video on it since it's so amazingly animated and an absolute masterpiece.

The Bad Guys 2022 | Animation and Visual Treatment Analysis and Review RobynO 2022-06-08 | I finally watched The Bad Guys, a recently released animated heist comedy from Dreamworks. I thought it deserved an in-depth animation analysis and review of the visual treatment, since it was such a well animated and entertaining film.

Timing and Spacing in Animation | The Most Important Animation Concept RobynO 2022-05-25 | I've had a few people request a video on the difference between timing and spacing in animation, and an explanation of what they actually are. Timing and spacing are probably the two most important animation concepts to grasp, annd timing is one of the 12 principles of animation for a reason. It can be difficult to understand the difference between the two when you're first starting out or trying to learn animation or even if you've been in it for a while. Or maybe you can execute it pretty well but if someone asked you, you wouldn't be able to explain the difference between the two concepts. While timing and spacing go hand in hand, they are actually different concepts- it's not different terminology used for the same concept, which some people seem to think because I've heard the terms used interchangably which is not accurate. Understanding timing and spacing and how to use and manipulate the two will improve your animations and motion graphics tenfold!youtube.com/channel/UCd4tG1v5ii8z9IG1i9SI_Tw?sub_confirmation=1My social media:Patreon: patreon.com/RobynOArtInstagram: instagram.com/robyno_artFacebook : facebook.com/RobynO.ArtTwitter: twitter.com/RobynOArt
Animations Raw Deal | Netflix Animation & The Oscars RobynO 2022-04-27 | Apparently, animation is only for kids, according to presenters at The Oscars, and what is happening to Netflix animation? Netflix recently fired it's Director of Creative Leadership and Development for Original Animation and is cancelling a bunch of animated shows like Bone, City of Ghosts and Toil and Trouble, with new shows being cancelled even more recently. It's been a rough month or so for animation, and I'm kind of hating this perception people have of it as a "lower" or less worthy medium than the rest of cinema, completely ignoring the skill and artistry that goes into animation production, and seeing it as the first thing to drop or cut budget on when a company has financial problems like Netflix as they recently lost a huge amount of subscribers.I'd love to know what other people think about this whole issue with Netflix animation and netflix cancelling animated shows, if this is the start of Netflix's downfall, what happened at The Oscars, and people's perception of animation in general. Do you think people will soon stop thinking animation is just for kids, or will this opinion always be common?youtube.com/channel/UCd4tG1v5ii8z9IG1i9SI_Tw?sub_confirmation=1My social media:Patreon: patreon.com/RobynOArtInstagram: instagram.com/robyno_artFacebook : facebook.com/RobynO.ArtTwitter: twitter.com/RobynOArt
How to Improve Clarity in your Animation Shots | Become a Better Animator RobynO 2022-04-14 | If your animation shots seem weak or muddy, you probably need to improve your shot clarity. It's great to have a technically good animation, but without clarity in your shot, it's pointless because your shot still won't be easy to read or understand, so all your efforts will be for naught. Focusing on clarity will help your shots have a greater impact, tell the story better and make each shot more appealing.So watch this vid to find out the best way to improve clarity in your animation shots to be a better animator and all-round better person (just kidding, your prowess as an animator has nothing to do with your value as a person - remember that!)youtube.com/channel/UCd4tG1v5ii8z9IG1i9SI_Tw?sub_confirmation=10:00 - Intro0:29 - Assessing and achieving the shot's purpose03:00 - Find your acting beats04:05 - Respect your key poses04:40 - Less is more / Shot simplicity06:31 - The importance of exaggeration07:18 - Staging and framing / use live action techniquesMy social media:Patreon: patreon.com/RobynOArtInstagram: instagram.com/robyno_artFacebook : facebook.com/RobynO.ArtTwitter: twitter.com/RobynOArtLink to Rig by Josh Sobel (Kayla Unlimited)friggingawesome.gumroad.com/l/kaylaunlimited
Turning Red Review | Animation & Visual Treatment Analysis RobynO 2022-03-30 | Turning Red is the latest Pixar offering and it's surpisingly had really mixed reviews. I watched it for myself, with my most critical glasses on, and decided to make this video review and animation analysis because I couldn't leave some things unsaid. Of course, I had to give my two cents on the visual treatment and animation since that's my profession, as well as the storyline and characters because...I just felt like it. The character designs, anime influences and 2d elements in Turning Red make it really unique and refreshingly different from other Pixar and Disney 3d films.
When to Animate with Pose to Pose vs Straight Ahead Action | Animation Advice RobynO 2022-03-10 | Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose are two different methods of animating and are one of the 12 principles of animation as mentioned in The Animator's Survival Kit. They both have their pros and cons , and it might be difficult to know sometimes when the best situation is to use one or the other since they both have different benefits for the scene.

Why Networking is Important for Animators #shorts RobynO 2022-03-02 | Networking is a contentious subject for a lot of people in the animation industry. A lot of people hate it and claim they'll never do it and it's not necessary and your work should just speak for itself, while others do think it's really important for advancing your animation career and finding animation jobs. I've done a video on it before, but here's the #short version of one of the reasons it's so important, especially if you're new to the animation industryyoutube.com/channel/UCd4tG1v5ii8z9IG1i9SI_Tw?sub_confirmation=1My social media:Patreon: patreon.com/RobynOArtInstagram: instagram.com/robyno_artFacebook : facebook.com/RobynO.ArtTwitter: twitter.com/RobynOArt
NEVER listen to music while animating | Animation Advice RobynO 2022-02-23 | If you've read The Animator's Survival Kit, you'll know about Lesson 1 - Unplug! This is advice from Milt Kahl, passed on to Richard Williams, who wrote the Animators Survival kit. Milt Kahl is considered a god among animators and many new animators would take any advice he gave to become a better animator. Here I discuss why it's controversial and how there are even studies that give evidence of the positive effects of music on divergent thinking and the effects of music on improving cognitive performance. So this actually may not be the best piece of advice for animators, or any creatives for that matter. Understandably, beginner animators want to do everything by the book and take all the advice form the greats but it may not always be for the best. Ultimately, everybody is different and in this case, and my advice is that people should just do what works for them. youtube.com/channel/UCd4tG1v5ii8z9IG1i9SI_Tw?sub_confirmation=1My social media:Patreon: patreon.com/RobynOArtInstagram: instagram.com/robyno_artFacebook : facebook.com/RobynO.ArtTwitter: twitter.com/RobynOArtLINKS:The Animator's Survival Kit - amzn.to/3t1c084Studies:Listening to happy music facilitates divergent thinking -journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0182210Cognitive test performance and background music -pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9450304Some of the links in this description are affiliate links.
