    How to make MINIATURE roofing metal! | REAL QUICK

    May 11, 2022 /

    Here’s a quick and easy way to make miniature roofing metal. NOTE: This is what I call the “BARE MINIMUM”, because I literally just used hardened wire and a block of wood. But ideally some form of hardened metal edge embedded into a block of wood, with a matching grooved block of wood to receive it, would be ideal. FURTHERMORE, you can even add multiple Vs or even get crazy and build a CORRUGATED METAL jig! 😀 TOOLS & MATERIALS USED: * HARDENED WIRE: https://amzn.to/3kZGrIf METAL AVIATION SNIPS: https://amzn.to/3FAG2Fv MINI MATERIALS (CINDER BLOCKS): https://amzn.to/39cQfvQ AFFILIATE LINK NOTICE “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

    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.
