Animations?

Thu Oct 29, 2009, 4:15 AM
If I recall, traditional animations of 24 frames per second take about a day for every set of 5 to 10 minutes, right? If so, from storyboard, to sketch, to ink and clean, to coloring an animation of 15 minutes length, how long would that take an average person doing it solo, compared a team of five? Just asking.

I read up that most animations do double frames for regular movement, so you can get away with just 12 frames per second unless there's some fast action happening and it should look just as good.

Oh? I guess I'll have to double the effort in my current projects then, I work with single frames all the time and wondered why it doesn't look as smooth, <XD;;

I'm stuck with 66 frames already, and I'm not even in the cleanup-step yet D:

Yeah :/ that's why I'm looking at Flash as a possible option to do the animation I want to do :/

I stink at using Flash, the frames just confuse me, that's why I'm doing it frame by frame via tablet and pc~ at least then I would know what the hell I'm doing~ 8D;;

I have no idea how to use flash XD I haven't even tried! But I'm pretty good at picking up new programs, so I'd probably do two or three tests and then go for the big project I wanna do - the Heike Monogatari in woodblock print style :D

Pimpypants is right, you can animate on 2s and only draw 12 frames, holding each of them for 2/24ths of a second :) I'm confused by your question though XD;;
An average quota at a job requires you to do about 30 seconds of animation per week (Depending on where you work and what kind of quality you're going for)
TV animation would ask you between 30 and 45 seconds a week, Feature animation gives you more time to polish the animation and get it looking good.
I'm expected to have a final film by the end of this year with the best animation I'm able to produce, the film itself is about a minute long and I've been given 4 months to animate it which isn't a lot of time AT ALL.

I dunno if any of this is helpful, but as I said, I'm a little confused by your question ^^;
