    How to sync ANIMATION to MUSIC! | Stop-motion using dopesheets aka exposure sheets.

    April 5, 2022 /

    These are the techniques* I use to animate in sync with music or character dialog. I do stop-motion animation this way, but you can do traditional 2D cel animation, 3D character animation or any animation medium in which timing is required. LINKS: Kinetic Armatures (Winders and more): https://kineticarmatures.com/rigs-and… Knights of the Slice: https://www.knightsoftheslice.com/col… Onell Design: http://onelldesign.com/ * These techniques are not industry-standard necessarily – every studio will do their own thing – so it’s best to abide by their rules if you’re not an independent animator.

    When you want to dance but only have 2 points of articulation. | STOP-MOTION ANIMATION

    March 18, 2022 /

    Here’s a stop-motion animation about a Playmobil figure who is inspired to dance by a highly-articulated action figure. Animated using a winder from Kinetic Armatures. The taller poseable figure is a Knights of the Slice design.
