Are you developing an animation? Use these four tips for creating an outstanding animation
Do you want to make great animations? If yes, what you need to understand is how an audience perceives a motion picture. Most of the time, an audience is not looking for something very dramatic, but something that stands out, without looking too silly, unrealistic or cartoonish. The trick to making quality animation is to tell your audience what your characters are trying to say without even the need for them to talk. The story should be understandable through the motion alone.
Here are four tips from the experienced team of animators at Outsource2india.
-
Imitate life
During animation, animators use references. At times, videos of real life things in action are used. For instance, you could take a video of people walking, running or doing an activity and try to copy the actions for the animated character. Try to use the subtle gestures and key poses which would normally pass your eyes. Use them in your key frames and then polish the motion in-between. Adopting references is a great way to incorporate real life motions into your animations.

Avoid motion capture
This tempting animation technique is quick, efficient and comes with great results. However, if your characters need motion, trying doing it by hand, before you opt for motion capture. There is a particular feel to hand-made animation that motion capture cannot exude.
