As a self thaught 2D animator, agreed. I perfer frame by frame. Hope to see something like in the style of Don Bluth come back tbh.

Did you also triple the speed on things in Windows Movie Maker to make budget cartoons? That's what I did as a teen.

I'm a bit younger than you lol. Basically I was tablet bound for a long time so I used some free video editors from the Google Playstore and FlipAClip. That is until I found out about modded .apk's.

Though I really figured out that It was calling in my first year of high school when we were making stuff in a totally legal copy of Adobe Flash 7. Then I got a drawing board a year later and started animating. I'm trying to move to Krita since Adobe Animate is more for puppet animation and for drawing vector stuff. Also depending on how I feel I either edit in DaVinci Resolve or Kdenlive.

Any specific examples you can think of to demonstrate what you mean?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Hard to explain, but you know when characters in flash style animation move like they're a paper puppet? Think stuff like Happy Tree Friends

The Johnny Test animation style? Or Arthur when they moved to flash for the first couple of seasons? That shit was funny at first but then I got annoyed by it.

Yes that I think

Huh, I actually like it as a style from time to time. But if the writing itself is lazy or the base models are bland, the awkward style doesn't help anything.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah to be fair, while I hate the style I fully understand why animators have to use it given they are over worked and under funded
