I built an application that will make it very easy for you to make animations similar to
Rico animation and in this video I'll be showing you how you can made use of this app
For this tutorial, I want to make these animations. But before I proceed, if you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel, please click on the
subscribe button below and also the bell icon beside it so you get notified once I upload
a new video. First, you have to download the Ricotune app to your Android device
You can download it through my Telegram channel. I'll be leaving the link to my Telegram channel in the description area of this video, so you can download the app from there
Once you've downloaded the app, then you come over to the home page on the app here
On this page, there are three options. Character, background and object. So we can download free character images, background images and object images on this app
So let's come over to the character. come over to the character page
On this page are different character designs that we can download for our animation
And if you scroll down, you will see more character designs, so you can choose any of these
character designs that you prefer. When you scroll down to the bottom, you see some locked character designs, like these ones here
They are locked because these characters are not for free. But I can teach you how to create animation characters like these ones that they have seen here
I have a well-detated course that covers everything you need to know about making animation
videos and movies on your smartphone. You can contact me through my Telegram channel to get access to this course
So for this animation we are about to create we will be needing two characters here I be using this image for the guy on the mask then this image for the kid so let click here over here is the image we
will be using to create the animation we have to download this image to our device so
we click on it then I will hold on any area around the image then two options
options will pop up then click on save now the image has been saved to our device
let's go back and save the image of the second character so I'll be needing
the image of the character on a sitting position so I'll click on these and save it
so let's go back to the home page Now let's go to the background page
On this page, a free background images you can download for your animation video
Though there are no much images here, but as time goes on, more images will be added to
this page. So for this animation, I will be using these images at the top
Then save it. Go back to the home page. Then go to object page
The object page is where we can find image of vehicles, chairs, tables and so on and so forth
More images will also be added here as time goes on So we will be needing the image of a van like this one So let click on this image Over here we can see the image of the van in parts
So let us download this one first. Now we've gotten the images for our animation
Let's proceed in creating the animation video. We will be doing these on Flipper Clip
Let's move to Flipper Clip. Here is a new project I just created on Flipper Click
If you don't know how to create a project on design, you can watch my previous videos to
learn about it. So for this animation, we'll be creating two shots, which is the shot of the kid skipping
and the shot of the man in the van. So I will start with the shot of the kid with the skipping rope
So let's add the image of the kid to this project. on this three dots here then scroll down and click on add image select the
image you want to add then we'll leave it here now we need to add a background
image to the short so come over to this area here we need to add a layer for our
background so click on this plus icon here then move it below the
this other layer. So this would be the background layer and this is the character layer
On the background layer, I'll be using a plain color background. So let's color it with a single
color Double click on this bucket tool here Then click on the color palette to select the color you want to use Let me use the color of the character skin Then I come back here and click on anywhere in this space to color the background
Now we've gotten these. Let's duplicate this frame to four frames. Click on this frame 1
Then click on the copy icon. Then click on duplicate icon. Repeat this till we get to frame 4
Now let's create the second shot. So click on this close icon here to add an empty frame to your project
On this frame, we need to add the image of the van and the background image we downloaded
We'll be adding the background image first. Let's be sure we are on the background layer
Now come over to the menu area. Then scroll down and click on Add Image
the background image, then position it to fit your screen. Now let's come over to the layer area
We have to add one more layer to this project for the van image
Come back here and add the image of the van to this frame
Then position the image well. So this is okay. Now let's duplicate this frame to four frames
So click on this frame, click on copy, then click on duplicate
This is what we have gotten. I will end this tutorial here and continue in my next video
