Doing references by my own is kinda cool, especially when its attack animations! Got me a feeling of an great game designer.

another thing that made me sense movement better, is to watch church pastors giving sermons, it opens your mind the way him talks and gesticulates

I can not stress how important it is to keep the shot short. I'm currently working on a 16 second shots, it is daunting. Not that I don't like animating, but it is important to consider how much time you want to spend on this practice, or this work?

@jeandenishaas 5 месяцев назад

Can not agree more! Keep the shot short! (and then of course when I do personal shots at home they’re way too long… 😂)

@cgworld.online Год назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, mentioning of animating to music gave me the idea I needed, I just finished putting in the key poses, and found I was really struggling to adjust the timing in maya with some fast paced superhuman movement so finding reference would be difficult. but then your idea of music, helped as in my head I can get a good idea of what i want, it's just hard applying that into maya, but if I record myself making sound effects for the movements, i can use that timing for the character. Thanks again for another great video!

@MaheshPagar 2 года назад

Ha ha ... I am going frame by frame over the section [6:22] where you had sudden realisation of rhyme in "Overtime - sense of Timing". Nice head turn,slanted tilt, asymmetric smile of acknowledgement, nice lead and follow relationship between eyes and face, where eyes are first to react to the change and lead the chin for tilt.

I’ll be looking forward to animating and story telling but I’m having fun learning lighting and about environments now in blender. I agree with a lot of what you were saying and I’ll take notes but what gets me excited to get better is getting feedback from lots of people and seeing how I can improve on anything i do! I don’t have much time with my 10 hour day job but I know I can do a lot in 3d one day if I keep at it! And it’s only getting easier to learn overtime.

As or the music part, you can study old Disney shorts called Silly Symphonies or the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. They use musical foley. That's how I learned my sense of rhythm as I grew up.

Absolutely!

@jamesking9264 2 года назад

Rhythm! More of a tool to add to the timing arsenal. But, separating out beats arrhythmically can really give your shot a satisfying feeling that is almost intangible. So not 1... 2... 3... 4... More like 1.2........3....4

Hi JD! Hope you're doing well! I like how down to earth and sincere this video is It's not clickbait if you deliver on the promise haha I have been following this channel for a while now But I gotta say I can't keep up with your speed of uploading acting analyses and tutorials XD Keep up the awesome work! I'll try to catch up someday (not too soon probably but still :D ) A quick question since I'm supposed to start an internship at Technicolor/MPC soon- Since it's a more a VFX studio, I was wondering types of shots are assigned to beginners? I had heard for feature animation, you usually get background characters and basic physicality shots. But I hadn't heard about something like that for VFX. Thank you for your time! :)

@jeandenishaas 2 года назад

Thanks! I appreciate the comment!! I just like what I do and want to post things 😂. But I was wondering if I should just do one clip a week (plus workshops). Sometimes I wonder if it’s too much? It would just take YEARS to go through all the material I want to talk about. 😁 And VFX wise you might get shorter shots, background again, etc. something small to get you used to the tools and pipeline and then you’ll also get bigger shots so you can show what you can do. Good luck with it!!

@prathman2002 2 года назад

@@jeandenishaas Wow I did not expect a reply so quickly haha When do you sleep good sir!? XD No I don't think it's too much. Especially if it's not burning you out or something. I like that you have playlists for everything. So if someone feels like it, they can binge one or multiple playlists in a day like a big movie ( I definitely did not do that with your FNA playlist XD ). I get it! But I'm still kinda new to the VFX side of the industry so are there some trailers for movies where certain shots are done by fresher/junior employees? I guess there wouldn't be but just in case you know of something like that I'd love to see it and be able to know exactly what difficulty of shots they've been given compared to the rest. Forget about it if you don't have any such trailer/whatever on hand. I don't wanna put a wrench in your strict daily schedule :). Again, thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate it! :)

@jeandenishaas 2 года назад

@@prathman2002 Haha nope, no burn out, still loving it and wanting to post more! And good question, I’m not aware of intern style vfx reels. Although I did make one for my students showing all the filler shots and nothing burger shots you get on a show. Could be interesting to do an FNA about that. 😁

@prathman2002 2 года назад

@@jeandenishaas Haha that would be really really cool! :) I guess if the shot isn't a big action or story scene and nothing that would make a lasting impression on audiences, it's probably done by more junior level animators. Thank you so much for the help! :D

Awesome video! Any tips on how to have a better sense of timing with stylized creatures? Do I just experiment till it works? Or is that a bad mistake haha

@jeandenishaas 2 года назад

You can always experiment! 😁 Same approach, with the added difficulty of creature body mechanics. I look at what tails and wings are doing as that can give you an extra layer of rhythm.

@shwetaraavi4007 5 месяцев назад

But in some companies especially when working for series, they do not provide us with any references or we do not get enough time to shoot for references then how to work on body mechanics without references?

@jeandenishaas 5 месяцев назад

That can be tough and that’s when your initial training and practice comes into play so that you can rely on your understanding of mechanics, physics and imagination.

Is it really true that even simple animations like south park do reference shots I'm just curious if you know?

@age3rcm 2 года назад

i forgot this another thing: watching fish aquariums! fish will never stop moving around aquarium, you get a sense of how much time the fish moves from point a to b after you stare at it

@jeandenishaas 2 года назад

Ha, yeah, lots of fish need to keep moving so that the water/oxygen can flow through their gills to keep them alive!
