Just dropping this here to show you something interesting.I have been doing some animation experiments for the trailer that is going to promote my friend Ezelle’s amazing book “The Valiard Mansion”.As you can see, it’s not a finished thing and there are quite a lot of frames missing towards the end yet, but it was in the midst of working that I suddenly really wanted to see how the thing would look like with twice as many frames. Going full 24 fps is something I never even tried before, I only occasionally mix a couple of frames at 24 fps speed into it when there’s a really quick movement within the animation. Lazy me always told herself that the eye wouldn’t perceive the difference anyway, now I’m pretty shocked about how much smoother the 24 fps animation looks.It’s actually not THAT MUCH of an elaborate thing to do in a pencil test. Once you have your normal 12 fps test, you can just fill in additional frames between the ones you already have, it doesn’t require a lot of thinking, only a bit precision, and I think it only took me about 45 minutes to an hour 15 or something while doing the actual 12 fps animation has been taking me many hours to make.However, I think in order to make it look good, you would have to clean up very carefully at that quick timing or the thing will flicker. Also, colouring the double amount of frames(that are almost identical to each other most of the time) would completely wreck my nerves. I don’t think I will go that far here, but I just wanted to share the two versions with you because I think it’s interesting :) -- source link
