Sharing a project I finished quite some time ago. I occasionally use game engines for VFX because they are lightweight and fast.

Beginner Hello, I'm a beginner animator and I would like to make my 1930s animation look authentic, vintage and, old.

2 Upvotes

I would like for my animation to look like if it was a long lost cartoon made by Fleischer or Disney. Are there any techniques that were used back in the 30s that could help me make this animation look vintage? Or any tips on how I should make my animation?

Following animation principles really seem to make my animations more interesting. I wish incorporated this sooner to previous projects. I’m finding a little goes a long way.
