cartoon animator 4

turn idea into animation

that you want to animate

but you doN’t know how?

That animation you are imagining, only exists in your head, and could probably be one of the best master pieces the whole world has seen, but it would never be seen by anyone since there is no way to share it if you don’t know how to make it.

you start doing some

calculations

If every drawing takes you 30 minutes to draw and paint, and you are animating at 12 frames per second, you will take 6 hrs to create 1 second of animation.

If that is true, then animating 4 sec of a character running and doing some rolls, would take maybe 12 hours, if you reuse some frames, right?

12 hrs for only 4 seconds of animation!

WHAT IF...

you had character designers and animators

working for you?

How much of your time and energy would it take?

Well, it would take you LESS THAN 10 SECONDS

I can prove it to you right now.
