Hihi

Can I ask you what program do you use for the animatic? And can you recommend any good program for practice? (I never used any of these programs, and they look pretty hard, so I don't want to pay yet for one, but I want to make something :c)

Hello! This might be a bit long but I hope I can help you with this (I'm holding your hand because this is also my first time doing an animatic so I have no idea on what kind of good pipeline there is to follow...) I apologize in advance if this won't be the most helpful answer :,))

okay so for the software. I use the ipad for most of my work nowadays... unfortunately, both apps that I use are paid—RoughAnimator and Procreate. I'll walk you down with how I do it. It is not the most efficient way but here's how it goes for me... :,))

Storyboard

I think the most important thing for planning something like this is having a clear vision of what you want to see. I started this animatic by brainstorming in my storyboards what I want to see in timing with the song and its lyrics. Here's an example of what I previously shared... [disclaimer: I did not follow the template so yeah, feel free to ignore the kanji characters]

you can see the outline I roughly made to tell myself what scene I want to show to what lyrics (I got lazy to write the whole lyrics down lol) and also added some notes like the movement of the character and camera pans etc.

here are the corresponding drawings to it (sorry if the quality is bad, I just screenshotted this from my gallery ><;;)

Drawing the Cuts

All of the drawings are done on Procreate. I use this software for most of my drawings now, mostly because I like the texture of the brushes there. At this point, I am not worrying about timing these drawings to the music yet but I am reassured since I already made my guide of that in the storyboards. Procreate also has an animation feature that helped me draw the breathing sequence.

Compiling and Timing the Drawings

Once I've saved my drawings to my photos, I move them to RoughAnimator. Here is where I time the drawings with the song. What I like about RoughAnimator is that it has its own drawing tools (I don't really like the brushes tho... hence, me using Procreate instead), it has a camera tool that allows me to pan across my drawings and also shows the sound wave thingy of the song that helps me with timing. It also allows me to easily adjust the exposure or how long a drawing flashes on the screen at my chosen framerate.

I would sometimes be unsatisfied with my initial drawings, leading to me going back and forth between Procreate and RoughAnimator to revise stuff. (which in my opinion is not efficient but I can't really think of any other way to do this...)

So yes. That's pretty much how I'm working with it so far. I am currently stuck because both Procreate and RoughAnimator have very limited features when it comes to panning images... I'm still figuring out how to do that but I'm thinking of moving to video editors for these kinds of stuff instead of relying on RoughAnimator...

I hope you aren't discouraged by this,, I know it isn't the best solution... If you are to follow this kind of workflow, I think a good combination of any drawing software (hopefully with an animation feature) and a reliable video editor to time it to the music (I recommend finding ones with camera pan and motion tween features) is sufficient enough for this.

If you're using an ipad like me, iArtbook is a good free alternative to Procreate with a good animation feature. I have yet to check it out properly but Filmora or Capcut might be a good video editor... If you're using a desktop, I think Krita is good for drawing and animating!

I'm so sorry again if this wasn't really helpful. I will definitely share it if I were to find a better workflow for this. If you'd like to have some storyboard templates, here are some I found on the internet!

I wish you all the best in your plans and practices!

(feel free to ask again if you have any questions, I hope this helps somehow :,))

I thought maybe youtube would have a tutorial that would help solve my werewolf woes but if you so much as mention wicked whims the results are just

yes yes I get it none of you have ever seen a dick before apparently now GIVE ME SOME ACTUAL USEFUL GODDAMN INFORMATION SO I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M DOING WRONG. I DESPERATELY NEED VISUALS.

#genuinely though like. has anyone else made custom hard dongs #and if so would you send me some screenshots of your s4s mods folder and workflow and shit so I can figure out what the hell I'm missing #I would owe you a life debt

i messed up the stupid multimedia essay comic for the fellowship application because procreate doesn’t remember undo and i didn’t back up all my lineart as a procreate file bc i NEVER have to do that (the mistake happened in coloring on the first page and it’s. kind of unsalvageable because i would have to apply that to the rest of the pages and i just feel so sick that i don’t even want to try anymore.)

it’s less than six days out from the deadline and i’m just ready to take the L. i’ve never felt more like crying in my life and my stomach hurts and i feel like shit that i feel like shit at all because look i don’t have much of a chance for this fellowship anyway so i’m trying not to get emotionally involved. but it’s a chance to work on the a320 however slim and i have this stupid hope that maybe i’ll succeed despite being woefully underqualified in my view and… sigh. picking my battles never felt so awful

#AAAUUUUUUGH #DONT USE FILL. DONT USE FILL NO MATTER HOW YOU THINK ITS GOING TO STREAMLINE YOUR WORKFLOW IT WILL ONLY EVER END IN PAIN #WHY HAVENT I LEARNED THIS ALREADY #but like. i wasn’t expecting to get anything anyway. i’m probably not even going to get it. i don’t have a perfect GPA and my research is #in a different field and i haven’t done any presentations and no prior internship experience and my job experience is in undergrad education #i probably don’t even fit what they want which makes me the fool for even trying #UGH I HATE IT HERE!

i feel so miserable right now unfortunately .....

#when i went back to work i am trying to be more honest to people about my feelings regarding shit. #and well. this unfortaunetly will make people like you less when you're a lot less appeasing and a lot more honest #and not even in a workflow way. just in a social way. but also yeah in a workflow way #im giving less of a shit about things. in general there. i AM still doing very very well for only caring like 1/4th of the amount i used to #its funny though. a lot of people also like me more this way. lol #so. yaknow. but it does ache when some people you were friendly with suddenly feel comfortable enough with you to tell horrible jokes #and get pissed off now that they not only like YOU more and think youre more charismatic and friendly #but also that you also dont think. THEY'RE being funnier and nicer at the mutual peeling back #when they open up and reveal that they really love making fucked up jokes that i REALLY cant agree with #like talking to them now feels like i've accessed like. 4chan.

#no but i was just busting out spreadsheets to plan how to work around my standard schedule #and now its unstandard !!!! AAAAA #i was literally trying to optimize my workflow in my shifts too #like good luck getting anyone who fucking gives enough of a shit to do this to supervise your fucking grocery store #god #at least thinking about work less should be something i aspire to. its just been the perfect storm of like #giving me a lot of stuff to focus on and problem solve thats good and engaging for my adhd #plus im finally talking to and being around people enough to even remotely consider them friends #so theres the emotional motivation

THERE IS. a website. that takes 3D models with seams and pulls it apart to make a plushie pattern and informs you where things need to be edited or darts added for the best effect. and then it lets you scale it and print off your pattern. and I want to lose my MIND because I've lost steam halfway through so many plushie patterns in the mind numbing in betweens of unwrapping, copying all of the meshes down as pieces, transferring those, testing them, then finding obvious tweaks... like... this would eradicate 99% of my trial and error workflow for 3D models to plushies & MAYBE ILL FINALLY FINISH SCREAMTAIL...

do you ever look at someone who ostensibly has the same job at you, and see what they’re obsessing over and prioritizing, and be like “we have got to be from different worlds for you to care this much about this”

#kit talks #like??? surely you’re too busy for this. i KNOW you have more important shit going on #why do you CARE where a clinic - a clinic that isn’t your responsibility! - saves certain document types in charts #last week it was people free texting their name to confirm they did something when the history shows a log of it anyway #like i do get why she is concerned on these things. i get it! our jobs are to improve workflows and streamline everything #but GOD some of the things this woman picks to care about are so utterly inconsequential #i cannot imagine having enough time in my day to stress over this shit

No, I would not like to try your new AI assistant.

It sounds insufferable, thanks. :)

#ai #don't get me wrong I think AI has uses #but only on the backend of things #like you want AI to track your face so the gimbal can make your camera follow you? #go for it! sounds like a great resource for someone who makes videos solo #just keep it out of my creative workflow!
