By the way, Trigger reuploaded Little Witch Academia to correct some of their translation errors.

Watch this fine piece of animation, blog it, share it with your friends and get the word out!

Studio Trigger is probably one of the only anime studios that actually listens to their fans abroad, and they even cared enough to translate it into English for us (like they did with Inferno Cop)!

So if you wanna see more then jack that view counter up!

Oh wow this is wonderful!

I told myself I wouldn’t be disappointed if Paperman won over Adam and Dog… but I guess I was mistaken

 

Paperman is charming and wonderful, but Adam and Dog is transcendent and it deserved to win.

Just a little animation I’m working on. I found some free fully functional pony rigs online and I’ve been itching to try them out. This is just the rough version. I’d love critique. Also, which pony should I use?

All you can do sometimes is just press harder on your pencil to try to make the drawing express what you’re feeling in your heart, and you hope that the audience can feel it as they’re looking at it.

— Glen Keane

The stunning animation of the characters in this video quickly make you forget that you’re watching pencil tests, scribbles of graphite on paper. And hearing Glenn Keane explain his process makes you realize why he is a master animator: there is thought and emotion behind every stroke of the pencil. There is nothing random about the work you see here.

There’s an interesting parallel between bringing animated characters to life and infusing characters on the page with spirit. Both mediums, even at their most simplistic, are capable of stirring emotion in an audience. A screenplay is a lot like a pencil test, in much the same way that a frame of film is like an animation cel. And yet both forms can affect us.

There should be thought and emotion behind every keystroke of our screenplays. That will give our characters shape and solidity, transforming them from vaporous imaginings into real people.

Oh God, oh God. Watch this at least for the last minute or so. This is such an incredible insight into emotions and translating emotions into characters, and drawing with sincerity. I did not tear up don’t you judge me.

I love things like this.
