- make an accurate animatic
- take your drawings by the balls
- try to make your roughs not too rough
- mess with after effects
- study the dimensions of your characters
- break them down to simple shapes
- strong silhouettes
- test a lot
- test animate your characters
- test colors
- test layout designs
- make sure desired mood is acquired before finalizing
- tvpaint: small lines being edited in 150% look really good at 100%
- if working on cintiq, keep checking if colors look really off in other monitors
- don't procrastinate badly!! you're at risk at damaging your eyes more than others as they are already sensitive and damaged.
- your shots must be thought out on how they would look on a wide-screen, not in square format.
- don't repeat this mistake
- can use foreground elements to frame shot in faux-square format
- working on your film while only listening to music and not touching anything else will make your productive speed so much better and you won't waste as much time.
- don't let yourself take it easy as often as you did if you want to succeed at executing your idea
- i finished all of my layouts on the very last 14 hours because i never looked away from working on it.
- at this time i worked 9 hours straight on it, so try to take this full focus moment 4 hours at a time because my wrist/hand started to hurt from it. always be safe and invest in your future!
