I made a little music video animation. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhXRX...
It's 30 seconds long. I had lots of fun drawing it!

I have made a rather spontaneous 30 second animation. I had lots of fun and followed my intuition, gave myself a 1-shot-per-day schedule, and now it's almost ready to show. It's a bit different, so I'd really appreciate anyone who gives it a chance.
As it has been 7 days since my last upload, so I was hoping to release it today to meet my weekly YouTube video schedule. I'm a bit late with coloring the final shot as it is fairly detailed.
Jackie Chan once said "Whatever you do, do the best you can, because the film lives forever." - I'm not as much of a perfectionist as him - In fact I'm trying to go the opposite way and fight my perfectionist tendencies. But he does have a point... I will take an extra day or so to make sure it meets an acceptable standard.

I sink dozens of hours into these edits and even when my video performs multiple times higher than average, YouTube doesn't even pay out enough for a bag of groceries. I've been uploading for more than 10 years, accumulating hundreds of thousands of subscribers, Yet 90% of them won't be shown my video by youtube.

Not looking for a pity party, I'm not in financial trouble, and I'm not about to quit making videos. I'm just saying - This video launching today took a LOT of work. I had a great time and I'm proud of it, and would love for my subscribers to be able to see it. https://youtu.be/2iOMPcJ3E9g
If you care about the work I do here, the videos I put out for free, it would mean a lot to me if you tune in for this one. Just click onto the video and tap the like button. Perhaps leave a comment if you have time, or show it to someone you know who is into animation. Thanks. Have a great day.

Guys, out of interest, what's your top five?
Feeling a bit insecure that my top 5 is all live action.. Although this list shifts around depending on what i'm feeling at any given day.

Having fun sketching out some animation reference - Swipe to see!
I used the pack: WALKS & RUNS Vol2 (Female) on Motion lab: www.animatorguild.com/motion-lab.html

Reference packs like these make complex animation easier, faster and more imaginative.

I'm turning my lifedrawing sessions into something special with Motion Lab www.animatorguild.com/contemporary-dance.html
Basically, the time I save by having my references neatly organised and accessible in an interface gives me more time to experiment with different looks. And unlike ordinary lifedrawing sessions - they create the illusion of life.
