    He could’ve made a movie. Instead, he helped us learn how to make a movie. This dude is a genius.

    "this fat guy is eating pizza" Wow what a way to call me out like that
  • @adaharrisonn
    The rebellion of teaching people things for free is the greatest, most heroic, mostly godly and noble thing you could possibly do. We have deprived ourselves of knowledge so much today in favor of profit and it is heartbreaking, disheartening, and infuriating. Thank you for this gift.
  • @midtown3221
    I've wasted over $50k going to college just to learn these things over the span of months while Alan does it in a single video. Alan isn't managing a class ofc, but still...this video is superior. It covers all 12 principles of animation AND has extra stuff which really helps and already makes it less intimidating, and it's in video form and I can replay it all I want. It's been almost a decade, but damn did the spark come back. Thank you so much for these videos, Alan!!

    “This king has a generic shape and not much personality” “ lets make him more like an E G G “ Best thing I’ve heard today
  • @megamindblue1732
    For some reason, this video feels like a safe corner on YouTube. I’m not even an animator but I find watching this comforting and enjoyable
  • @Star-Mania
    The ammount of EFFORT and dedication shown in this video is unreal! You did such a good job!
  • @SkillyWiFi
    My grandpa was a animator for disney for 48 years ( hand drew them) and he said it was super time consuming to do all the principles but it helps build tje character
  • @yesno1067
    I'm surprised at how actually detailed this tutorial is. I'm not even kidding when I say that I've NEVER seen a tutorial this detailed and explained so simply. Even a beginner would understand this. Love the examples too! They make it so much easier to understand. Most tutorials leave me confused, but this made everything clear to me.
  • @pencilsandpizza
    I feel like I would watch any educational video on YouTube instead of going to school, mostly bc I actually learn something useful, but also there’s so much passion and entertaining content here that helps with demonstration bc this guy is a talented animator so he’s not just pretending to know this stuff
  • @wah--
    I'm an aspiring animator working on my most beloved project entitled 'Mrs. Devious'. Although it's humor is meant to be thought provoking and mature, I also want for there to also be moments of physical comedy. For this, it is imperative that I learn these principles. Watching this video intimidated me, seeing as how many aspects go into animation, but it also gave me a new perspective that I'd not seen taking animation classes in school. Thanks so much for making this! It truly helps!

    Animation course: costs over 1000 dollars me: cries in broke This video: exists me: i'm saved :D
  • @tuwacroi
    I cannot imagine how long this took to animate.
  • @stacyh9286
    I just want you to know that 5 years later you are STILL helping people out here. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the knowledge you have given me….for Free!! ❤❤
  • Me: Do you want to look proud? My friend: yes. Me: Start looking like an egg.
  • @InayatTantry
    I'm not even remotely associated with the industry, but I still watched it through and through.. Makes one appreciate the work that goes into making animations and illustrations. There's is Whole lot of physics, mathematics and psychology involved. Wow
  • -Literally 10 second intro, and right into the topic. -12 principles explained in less than half an hour. -Consised, yet still detailed. Really well explained. -Very clear visuals that help emphasize the points and doesn't overstay it's use. This is not only a great video to learn animation principles, but also a great overall presentation. So much that you can learn from this video, it's fantastic! Love it!
  • I'm not an animator, but the part about twinning was very informative. I once drew a character with a pose of raising his hand in the air and smiling, and I couldn't tell why I liked it much more than the other pictures, and it was cuz I was twinning those other pics. thanks!
