In this animation tutorial for beginners we look at some of the most basic principles of animation. Master these basics and you will understand a lot more about how to animate your own characters and ideas and really make them special.
The #1 rule of animation: As an animator, you have to control how motions look and feel.
Theat means you need to do more than just somehow moving things around. The most powerful tool that you have to control how a motion feels is spacing.
Spacing is the distance an element travels between two frames of an animation.
Small spacing = small movement
Big spacing = big movement
By increasing and decreasing the spacings over the course of multiple frames, easing can be added to a motion.
A motion with the same spacing between each frame is called a linear motion. This only occurs very rarely in nature and usually needs to be avoided.")

Animators have to face many challenges when creating 2D rigs and animations for indie games. In this live talk, three animators who worked on the platform-puzzle game Minute of Islands by Studio Fizbin give you a behind the scenes peak at the animation process in Spine.
Support Animator Island on Patreon https://patreon.com/animatorisland
Animators Moritz Biene (Animation Lead), Kerstin @noodydraws Buzelan (Animator) and Ferdinand Engländer (Animation Lead) will show how the Spine rigs work and explain some of the crazy solutions we had to come up with.
While playing, we will talk about all the interesting things and anecdotes that come to mind.
Of course, you can also ask all of your questions about 2D game animation and this project.
Its going to be a cozy live stream with lots of game animation know-how. So, join us with a cup of tea and lets have a closer look at how we did the character animation in Minute of Islands!
