    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.

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.

    Can this be for real? With your help, yes indeed! I animate with DragonFrame software and the USB controller. The slider unit is by Edelkrone, and I’ll cover using that in a separate video. TACK-IT (gummy stuff used to make things stick): https://amzn.to/33pXZbm

    I’ve had several requests for ASMR videos, so here is my first serious attempt at making one. To be 100% honest, I’m far more comfortable capturing crinkles and plastic handling than I am trying to whisper in y’all’s ears.
