[VIDEO] Smear Frames

In today's video, I wanted to talk about smear frames!

Why they're a super useful tool for animators, why they exist, and why they aren't *animation errors.*

This is just for a bit of fun, smear frames are one of my favorite things to draw, and I wanted to share some of the things I think about while creating smear frames! What I think works, what doesn't, and when's best to use them.

I hope you enjoy this video and experiment with your own smear frames!&nbs...

I Made a Game!

WooHoo!

This was a game that me, @whirlguy and @kylazaur made for Global Game Jam 2021, and I took some time recently to rebuild it and make it playable in-browser.

I'm really proud of it, and I hope more people can enjoy it this way! :)

Hope you have as much fun playing it, as I had making it!

EARLY ACCESS: Clip Studio Paint Animation Tutorial

For editing my video, since I no longer support Adobe products, I decided to give Da Vinci Resolve a try. Half of my time I was really enjoying it and thinking it was the best software ever! It can kinda combine After Effects and Premiere into one program! For the other half, I was frustrated and hated it. Mostly because of inexperience, but I think a lot of tasks which should be very simple (like zooming into the screen) ended up being complicated rabbit holes, and in the end I learned how t...
