any tips for if someone was gonna start making animatics? i love yours sm
Ohhh thank you so much, I’m planning on making some sort of process video, but I can at least share some things I think about when making things
I usually drop projects if I don’t have a plan. The Simon video? I finished that suuuper quick because I sorta knew what I was doing.. even though I didn’t board like half of it. I get bored of ideas real easy so if the video takes too long to finish im outta therrre.
Pick colours and textures ahead of time
I find that picking only a handful of colours and textures to use, it’ll tie the video together, and also makes the process faster for me
Some colours I keep to colouring only the lines, but I think it could’ve still looked nice with out doing that lol
I think they make things look more... finished, but I’m lazzzy, so instead of hand drawing it myself, I grab an existing photo, cut it up and mash it to suit what I need it for.
I also try and match the style, textures, and colours I’m using to how I’m editing the photo, or else it’ll be too distracting from your drawings!
I use Paintool Sai and SonyVegas to do everything, but really all you need is a drawing application and a video editor. [Although I REALLLY wanna use after effects cause you can do more interesting edits!!!]
Took me a while to figure out that organizing my time line will make my life easier eeeeee
I try to make sure the pictures match to the dialogue beats [same with songs of course!]. You know you did it right when the video is still interesting to watch, but the drawings are scribbles. If you wanna see what the simon video in its sketch form check it out here. I feel like this is the most important part
I’ll probably think about a lot more things, but heres a list of things for now!!
