Storyboards are choppy but give a basic layout of how characters should move. Keyframes are frames that animators use to map out motions before they start animating. Over the years, I've learned more techniques on how to animate and learned what a "keyframe" was and how to use them. Unfortunately, I don't have any examples to show you, but I' glad I don't because they sucked. Some looked good, but a lot of them were terrible. It felt good to be able to create something out of nothing like that.
I had no idea what keyframes were, had no idea how to animate "right," but I was still able to make characters move. Nobody said anything then because it was all garbage.Īnyway, the main thing I would do back then was draw the frames one after another. My older animations never had a lot of motion, only lip sync and tracings of the original Flipnote. Draw a frame, add a frame, draw that frame, copy and paste a few frames, and so on.
While Flipnote was a good program to start with, I never knew much about how to animate, and for the most part, I winged it. At the time, it was the only real way I could animate, but, hey, it was a start that a lot of animators seemed to have started out on. When I first started animating, it was stupid skits and music videos created on a DSi with Flipnote. Shoot, I didn't know how to start out either, if I'm being honest. We all know that animation isn't an easy process, and some of us want to try it but never know how to start out.
