Description
Promised to keep you updated one the whole entrance exam business for that french animation school(refer to: )
The first entrance exam (out of two) was a success!!
I'm amongst 90 other people who managed to get through, and will next month go to the interview/portfolio portion of the whole admission process!
(I also need to make a project pitch for an original animated short, so, oooohboy)
Once I've finalized a proper version of my portfolio I'll post that too - with the request for feedback/critique of course!
I might seem calm and composed, but my thoughts are actually doing the /shouting in the distance/ thing, seeing as I'm one step closer to possibly living in paris for the next 4 years

btw, try looking at this animated doodle as if the whole body is only the darkest lines
you're welcome.

This is great! How many frames is this? I always have issues deciding on how to space the movement...:/
π: 0 β©: 1
14 frames at 9 f/sec
and I feel you
I'd say it's all about knowing where to place your key frames (or simply the poses that are most essential to knowing what's happening) and if you're at a loss on where to start filling in, just try to see what it'll look like if you put extra poses in the middle between each pose.
If you're having issues, just go back to that basic method. You can tell when something looks unnatural (and you might need to redo the animation mutliple times) but by struggling through you can in the end usually find where you need to change up the rhythm.
The main rule is probably: does something accelerate/slow down? then you need to do add either less of those half-spaced frames or more.
The actual moment between having the neck pointing straight up and the first frame where the head is vaguely horizontal to the ground is only 3 frames. And to add a bit more life into the movement - have a bit of a "drag" / "snap/whip into the last pose", that frame between 1 and 3 is pose-wise situated a bit closer to 1.

Thanks so much! I am trying to self teach myself how to animate...and its not going so well. XD It's a slow process, but I am really enjoying the process. One of my biggest issues has been the framing, and this has helped so much. Thank you!

This looks great! Part of me expects him to continue breathing fire right at the camera, especially after that build up.Β

Omg! I read that it's Gobelins you're attending to? That's so amazing! Ever since I discovered their videos on YouTube I've admired them so much.. seems like an amazing school. I thought about trying to attend myself, but I don't know a word of French so it seemed like bit too much hah..!
I wish you lots of luck! Your animations are great, I think you have definitely the potential to get in!!

Thank you very much!! They do seem to offer an English version of the animation classes, but it's only after the first 2 years of the curriculum? And you somehow still need to know some French to apply for that??? (their website is a bit confusing)
Though I'm quite nervous despite having had French classes since primary school,, it was always my worst subject, but I know that it should be fine as long as I can make myself understood :s
(I remember years ago, whenever looking at my barely-passing grades I would be thinking to myself "yeah, I'd never consider studying in France" -cut to me now after having been bitten by the animation-bug; having a plan B in case I don't make it this year, that would still lead to me re-applying there next year :'> )

Oh, haha, sounds a bit.. weird. :'D
I think it'll be fine! You'll learn surprisingly well when you live in the country, or so I've heard! And you already have experience to build on!
And I encourage you to re-apply if you for some reason don't get in, since sometimes getting in depends on things you can't do anything about (like they're looking for certain types of students that year etc.).

I'm applying for an animation school, so I know how you feel!
Great animation btw, what programm do you use for making them?
π: 0 β©: 1
I use Krita! It's primarily a normal free drawing program, but it has an animation option that offers stuff like the timeline, and keeps frames and layers 2 separate entities (most other free programs that offer animation features are more basic, like FireAlpaca for example)
