I've been a long time admirer of James Lee, and just wanted to make a video about his methods. I might expand this later where I actually apply the ideas in a real piece of test footage. That would be cool..

I have sat on this one for quite a while, and I think now is a good time to post it as there are lots of animators who are finally uploading their animations to the contest. That takes a lot of guts.

We launched a new resource - and whenever you make something that is new / unique, it requires a fair bit of explaining. This is my attempt to answer the major questions from people about our new online resource MOTION LAB. But if you have extra comments or feedback, I would love to read them!
2023-04-20 02:57:50 +0000 UTC View PostMOTION LAB HAS JUST LAUNCHED
As you probably know, we have been building a HD video reference library for animators - it has now launched with our first reference packs: https://www.animatorguild.com/motion-lab.html
Hope you check it out while we're having an opening sale!
2023-04-17 16:28:28 +0000 UTC View PostMotion Lab launching in 2 days
Here's an example of how I shot reference footage and used it for my animated film. Since then I have worked with Janina Putzker to build out a big library of reference sources specifically tailored to animators. It's going to launch here: https://www.animatorguild.com/motion-lab.html

I'm bringing back sakuga studies - except this time I'm only gonna talk about pieces of animation that inspire me personally. No more taking requests to analyse anime scenes i don't care about. It really took the fun out of it. Now that I'm taking control of what to look at, I think my enthusiasm will shine through.

Developing a positive outlook on your situation is beneficial in so many ways. But this is not just shallow motivation talk. I share with you real practical strategy which is working for me as an independent animator online. It's time we seized the opportunities available to us and shrug off the victim's mindset.
Thank you for your continued support in these. I will be bringing some early episode releases to you soon!

Hey guys, I have been so caught up in making new videos for the channel, that I forgot to post updates for them here on Patreon! So I'm sorry if any of you missed them being uploaded because of that. I'm behind on three videos which I will post here now, starting with this 30 minute presentation on how I add light to my animations. Enjoy!
2019-11-26 16:48:45 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate + Help me get to know you?
Hey Guys! As you can tell, I've had to hold back on the video productions for the past couple of months, while I work on this music video commission . But that is all about to change!
I've been writing pages and pages of plans for Animator Guild whenever I have had little bits of downtime, like when the videos are rendering or when I'm away from the computer. So now that I am free from that commission, I plan to take some time to explode my output of these videos and services to you guys. We have the Animator Guild film Contest to look forward to in February, a podcast, online courses and so much more! I've been waiting for a good stretch of time to work on all of these things and that time has finally come.
Right now there is a way you can help me.
Would you be able to tell me about yourself by answering a few questions in my survey? it takes hardly any time and makes a big help.
http://www.animatorguild.com/survey.html
It will help me to understand you and create videos and information which is well suited to your wants and needs! Thank you and I hope you are well,
Howard
