what app do you use to animate? (if you already went over this sorry)
and what does your animation process look like?
I use OpenToonz! To be honest it's a MAJOR pain to work with sometimes but I found it to be the best option for me.
As for my process... I don't have everything but I'll do my best to explain the Wendell animation! (I worked at 23 frames at 24 frames a second)
First, I have the start and end keyframes. I normally draw them right next to each other on the timeline and change the timing afterwards but that would probably be painful to look at.
Next, I add breakdowns, or drawings that transition one pose to the other. Since this was a simple animation, one smear frame was good enough.
(Oh god.)
After that I make a few timing adjustments and add some additional breakdowns.
In this case, I used ease out and ease in (where the frames are slow at the beginning, fast in the middle, and slow at the end) and anticipation (moving in the OPPOSITE direction before doing the action)
I also add bounce by overshooting (going past the pose) above and below the pose, but I tend to do this near the end.
Finally I try to get my lines consistent by flipping through each keyframe and redrawing anything that looks too off (which I believe is called flipping and rolling in traditional animation!) I sadly can't show it here since I didn't save that progress, either.
Afterwards I'm usually done!!! Animation wise, anyway.
Sometimes I animate the camera, too! It's really fun to do actually (and also easier with OpenToonz which is a plus).
But that's essentially my process! I know it's not a tutorial and I don't think all the terms are accurate but I tried to be as straightforward as I could. :)
