Is it encouraged to have a YouTube channel when you're in animation school?

Nah— Not really. To have a social media presence of your animation or whatever specialism within it (3D Modelling, Character design, compositing, background art), aka a portfolio, yes.

A youtube channel where you express your opinions? 😅 Not really! In fact, you have to be careful what you say. I always try to be.

OKAY SO YA'LL ASKED FOR THIS HERE'S SOME ANIMATION SCHOOL SHIT

I will explain as I go :D

So one of the first exercises we were asked to do was to do a 360 turnaround for a bust of a character (grab a shitton of POVs of the character as ref, most importantly a front and side view, and then in between from there)

So naturally I did the only sensible thing, which is to do a 360 of a full body for my boi Koupen Chan <3 pacing of his flippers could use some work, but I stayed on model at least which was all we really needed haha (I was gonna do a Geronimo Stilton bust but I for the life of me couldn't find a perfect front view which we needed for this so o<-<)

These two ball animations are timing chart exercises (these eldritch number charts that mark the pacing of an animation). The timing chart example isn't the one I used for these two, but ye, it takes getting used to methinks but I think I got it down at least

This was our very first activity in the course, where we had to Photoshop two animals together as organically/realistically as possible and give it some tweaks to make it look nice :3 being the creature that I was (in a nightmare fuel mood at the time), I chose to merge a stoplight loosejaw, a fangtooth, and an eel-- all three things that are and have consistently been nightmare fuel :D. I would discuss my decision behind it, but that'd require me to talk about the stoplight loosejaw and its whole deal and knowing my ADHD ass that'd take all day soooo

Also I'm just realizing I'm skipping a step because as a primer we didn't really do much at all with animation for the first ten weeks of the course and spent it all in life drawing and Photoshop. Oh well :D

This is an eye blink exercise, where I got to try to figure out how I want my eyes to work in an animation context, plus learn how a blink works from an animation perspective

And alongside it is the original GIF frames we got to study and color how we saw fit

And last but not least for now, a smear frame exercise! We were asked to animate a bladed weapon of our choosing from the options we were given and add smear frames just however we choose ^^

Will put more soon :3

"5 stages of no sleep"

A thing i did for a thing some time ago but I don't think the people that were running the thing really saw or took it into account properly so I'm leaving my thing here for my 3 loyal moots to like

The thing is made in oil pastels btw

Who the hell even does animation on paper anymore (my college, that's who) (I think it's cool as hell though)

Completely forgot to post this rig assignment i did for school ! It's not extraordinary but it was done in around 4h- like i drew, rigged and animated all in 4h so i think it's great 💅 i love rig animation it's so fun to do 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️

(My teacher loves the lamb so much- every time she sees me she compliments how cute he is even tho i didn't design him 💀 i have to agree he's pretty cute 🧚‍♀️ but i won't tell her where he comes from or i think she'll look at me weird like "wtf are you playing??" 💀)
