Okay, so I wanted to make one of those cool animated videos, you know, like those viral ones of Justin Jefferson doing his thing. I’ve seen a bunch of them around and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” Plus, I always enjoy messing around with new stuff and sharing it here. So, here’s how I did it.
First off, I needed to figure out how to actually make an animation. I’m no pro, so I was looking for something simple. There are a ton of tools out there, but I found this one called FlexClip. It’s all online, and super easy to use. No need to download some heavy software, which is a relief.
Getting Started with FlexClip
I jumped onto their site and started poking around. It’s pretty straightforward. They’ve got a bunch of pre-made scenes and characters, but I wanted to do something from scratch. You can type in what you want, like a text prompt, and it gives you a basic idea to start with. Pretty neat, huh?
- Creating the Animation
- I picked a character that looked kinda like Justin Jefferson. They have a lot to choose from.
- Then I added some backgrounds, you know, to make it look like he’s on the field and stuff.
- They have tons of stock footage and images you can use, which is super handy. I didn’t have to go hunting around the web for stuff.
Adding Some Moves
Now, the fun part. I wanted to make my animated Justin Jefferson do some dance moves. It’s all drag-and-drop, which is great for someone like me who’s not exactly an animation wizard. You can choose from a bunch of different actions and movements. I spent a good chunk of time just playing around with this, making him dance and celebrate.
Putting It All Together
After I had my little animated Justin Jefferson doing his thing, I added some music. They have a library of tracks you can use, or you can upload your own. I found a catchy tune that fit the vibe I was going for.
Wrapping It Up
Finally, I tweaked the timing and made sure everything flowed well. You can adjust the duration of each scene and add transitions. It’s all pretty intuitive, which is a huge plus. Once I was happy with it, I just hit the export button, and boom, I had my animated Justin Jefferson video!
Honestly, it was way easier than I thought it would be. If you’re thinking about making an animated video, I’d say give it a shot. It’s a fun little project, and you don’t need to be a tech whiz to do it. I hope this little walkthrough was helpful. Let me know if you guys try it out, I’d love to see what you come up with!
