Hello, we are Mihaela and Sandy - welcome to our first contribution as myp5s!
For this article, we will give you walkthroughs and tips for our animating journey,
We began with ZERO animating experience (and we had no idea what we were doing!) so this will be quite the article.
Based on our mutual agreement and interest regarding animations, we decided that our goal would be to learn how to do stop motion; it not only entertains others but also provides content for our art portfolios. Win-win!
Both learning from mistakes and goofing around.
We knew that if we wanted to learn how to animate we would have to know how it works, so Mihaela and I watched different content creators with tutorials and basic stop-motion videos to inspire us and give us a strong base of knowledge to work on.
My first stop-motion animation was a ball bouncing. I did the animation on 'Sketchbook' which is a free drawing app. To create the ball I used the circle tool. I consider this animation to be freestyled because I didn't research or watch videos on it. I think that I did a good job because the ball changes shape. To make...
