Top 5 blogs to learn animation from

By Codrina | Uncategorized | 21 comments | 9 November, 2016 | 4

Animation industry is constantly evolving and every animator should be up-to-date with the latest trends and news from this field. Nowadays animation is also used in marketing, advertising, entertaiment, and not only games or movies. Even if you are an animator or you just want to know more about animation, enjoy a cartoon, etc., animation blogs are a great source of information and education.

As an animator you must learn continuously and subscribing to certain animation blogs all new information will come to you and you will not be forced to look for them on the Internet. There are hundreds of blogs that write about animation and I thought to make a top with the most famous blogs.

Also, they transmit the lastest information from animation empires like Disney, Pixar, etc. Beside animation you will found information about movies, TV shows, visual techniques, and more.

4. 11 Second Club

 

11 Second Club is not an usual animation website, it is a contest website that can help animators to become known in this domain. The competition consists in downloading from site an audio file and then you have to animate a character that interprets the audio. Each month is designated a winner, who will win a professional critique from Animation Mentor.
