Your animation shows a good understanding of the laws of physics (the real laws, not the “cartoon laws”). This makes them appear realistic. I’ve made just one 15-second animation — a raptor getting a snack from a defective vending machine. Did it with the Rough Animator app. How does Procreate Dreams compare?
Thanks Bob. I haven't used many animation apps other than Flip A Clip and Procreate Dreams. I'd say Procreate has some pretty robust features, allowing you to make something quite beautiful on it. On the other hand there are so many experimental features that a lot of questions remain...
For example in "performance mode," I can stretch a single frame to last several seconds... and then "perform" and record the transition of the subject in that frame changing color through time by starting performance mode and then shifting around the hue slider. The same color changes will happen in playback.
But if I change the hue of that frame overall.... NOT in performance mode, just an ordinary hue shift on the drawings... what happens then? Do all the hue changes also shift incrementally? Does another shift in hue get added to the timeline between other hues shifts?
You can see how it can get complex with new features like this that are still kind of in development.

Thank you for taking the time to respond with a detailed answer. It’s much appreciated.
