Group Twitter

Admins

The Animation Source is here to provide animators with resources to improve their skills in animation. The group will act as a place for animators new and old to share their own tutorials and resources, tutorials and resources they find, and also as a place to share thoughts on other people's animations. The main focus of this group is animated films, but the resources provided may also help those interested in animated graphics.

Submission Guidelines and Rules

:bulletred: What do we accept in our gallery? Tutorials and How-to videos on animating and video resources for movement (for example, a real horse walking). We accept all animation tutorials, but we are not a group for graphics (No .gifs!!!).

:bulletred: We do not accept Flash gallery submissions. However, if your animation has been made using Flash, but has been exported and uploaded to dA in video format to the Film & Animation Gallery, your submission will be accepted.

:bulletred: ONLY FINISHED FILMS to the films folder.

:bulletred: Absolutely NO copyrighted audio that you don't have permission to use.

:bulletred: NO fanart/fanvid submissions or use of copyrighted characters; not even parodies. This group is for original works only.

:bulletred: When you send a submission request, MAKE SURE YOU ARE SUBMITTING TO THE CORRECT FOLDER. Each folder has a description of what goes into it. If you don't see a folder that your work fits, ask us about it!

:bulletred: If you have questions about any of the folders, check the descriptions in the folders first. If your questions still aren't answered, ask any of the admins here!

Hi all! Your friendly neighbourhood Assistant Director here.

After having had our submissions closed whilst we performed some maintenance on the group, submissions are now reopened! You are now free to submit content to the group again; however, we've made a lot of changes, so please make yourself aware of these before submitting:

The Changes

1.)  We've had a complete overhaul of the folder categories. Hopefully this tidies things up and makes finding the tutorial you want easier. The new categories are as follows:
  • Featured  (submissions are not open to this folder)

  • Films

  • Demo Reels & Trailers

  • Pre-Production Work

  • Pre-Production Tutorials

  • Production Tutorials

  • Post-Production Tutorials

  • Live Reference Footage

2.)  We no longer accept Flash submissions. Deviations in the Flash gallery will no longer be accepted into the group - however, a deviation created with Flash, but saved to a video format and uploaded to the Film & Animation gallery is acceptable. For more information on submitting to the Film & Animation gallery, please check out this link: FAQ #842: How do I become a submitting member of the film community?

3.)  Whilst we already had a clear 'no copyrighted music' policy in place, we have now also clarified our stance on copyrighted characters. #theanimationsource will only accept original works, not fanart/fanvids or other deviations using copyrighted characters, unless that character belongs to you as an artist.


And that's everything! Thanks to all of you for your patience whilst we've been sorting the group out; it's much appreciated. If anybody has any questions or queries about the new changes, be sure to let us know in the comments section.

Hello fellow deviants!!! I have a request that I have had on my mind for the longest. Aside from the budget what are some guidelines or rules for selecting a studio or studios for doing an animated work as well as a realistic time frame for completion start to finish and wth a script already completed along with character designs ? T

For what is a realistic time frame for completion, I think it really depends on the people that you are interested in hiring. You would have to discuss with them with what is reasonable. It also really depends on what you want done. The fact that the script is finished and character design is finished is great, but those things ALWAYS change mid-production. Not everything that you hope to work in preproduction works out in production.

When looking for people to hire, I would say that you need to find people who have the skill set that you are looking for. There is a wide range of varieties of animators. Look at their previous work and see if they can do what you are asking.
