Description
"Wait, what's this??"It's an old-school frame animation!
This took SO MUCH TIME! I mean, I put a solid nine consecutive days into this, when I completely holed myself away from real life and learned how to animate in photoshop. All for 25 stinkin' frames! It was just plain unhealthy, and it made me realize that frame-by-frame just isn't for me. I'm glad I made it though, and it was fun to do, I just can't bear the amount of time it takes. So, this is a one-off!
Shortly after making this, I discovered the warping program I use now, and that's how I've made all my other deviations up to this point. It's so much faster and smoother to animate with! Onwards!

I heard that! Frame animation can be so tedious... what software do you use now?

I've been using DP Animation Maker, it adds ambient movement to static images through warping. None of this frame-by-frame nonsense! XD
This year I plan to transition into after-effects for layered animations.

This is great ^^ Is photoshop the main animating program you'd recommend? I've been trying pencil 2d.

Photoshop is the only program I've ever tried frame animation with, so I can't really recommend it over anything else. I used it because I already had it. It seemed very clunky, although it was useful to learn how the frame workspace operated in photoshop because I use it a lot for optimizing other gif's that I export from my main animation program.

I see ~,~ pencil 2d saves my frames as separate pictures :-: I just wanted a video lol

It's really interesting to learn all of this history. ^^
...and I'm also really jealous that you have Photoshop.

I was worried I was being too wordy!
If you're super curious, here's the draft I started with:

Nope, not too wordy.
I'm almost wanting to make an animation using SAI and Gimp. I think it will actually be easier than it seems. I guess I'll just have to try it. :3
