i am not an animator but the few animations i have made it really does feel like magic when it comes together. i used to think the way disney (especially older disney) talked about their animation as magical that they were being cheesy and sentimental but after actually trying it myself i totally get it. seeing all the pictures you drew come to life at the end it feels like it has its own soul or something

#esp for traditional animation (not that im experienced enough in either but esp digital to rly judge)#but editing together scans of physical drawings and seeing them come to life and move is so incredible #like i can hold the physical drawings of all the frames and see them in this totally different form on screen #like a seperate entity its crazy #does any of this make sense #mad respect to animators lol #also what makes traditional animation (the way I’ve done it at least) so satisfying #is that I don’t scan each frame once it’s done I do them all at the end #(I do this with the rough sketch animation frames first to make sure it moves normal)#so I only get to see it in motion at the end
