Artist/Studio/Resources Exploration


Animator Guild is a website ran by a young animator Howard Wimshurst that contains various videos and tutorials all dedicated to Animation; and the reason why I wanted to share it is because he uses Animate CC. If you want full access to all the features like sound effects packs you have to pay for a membership, however most of the tutorials and videos are free and also available on YouTube.

Stylistically he has a loose, sketch-like style that really plays well into what he does, which from what I’ve seen, is fast-paced action scenes with a lot of dynamic camera movement. One downside to some of his videos is that sometimes he tends to go off and ramble more about the philosophical aspects of creating and animating, like industry advice such as how to handle harsh criticism, overcoming art frustration, and if 2D Animation is a dying industry. All that extra information can be off putting to those who just want to figure out how to particularly do something; but, if you’re into that kind of stuff I think you’ll find his tutorials and discussions very interesting.
