malformalady:

Oophagy, or egg eating, is a means of nutrition by which the developing embryos of some sharks eat their ‘potential siblings’ while still in the mother’s uterus. The above image is the embryo of Shortfin Mako Shark, Isurus oxyrinchus. Embryos of these species are ‘intra-uterine cannibals’. Individuals that have hatched inside the female shark eat successive batches of unfertilised eggs that are continuously ovlulated by the female.

Super Moon
— June 23, 2013

Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.

These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.

qinni:

The whole film took me altogether about 5 grueling months (usually 10-12hours a day) to do. I often felt my butt was going to grow into the chair I usually sat at.

Please note that this was simply my way of doing my film to achieve the soft-shaded style I wanted; there are many other ways of doing this and some are a lot faster with different results~! :)

My film on DeviantArt | My film on Vimeo

My film gifs on Tumblr

You can see my storyboard animatic here (although the original had music, but like I mentioned, my placeholder music was by Joe Hisaishi, you know, Miyazaki’s composer, so it’s not really legal to upload it).

This tut differs a bit from my dA version, because tumblr lets me put the combination of gifs and jpegs :D.

Here’s a book that will really help you start animating:

The Animator’s Survival Kit

here’s some books that are good for composition, storytelling and colours:

Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation

The Art of Pixar: The Complete Color Scripts and Select Art from 25 Years of Animation

Prepare to Board! Creating Story and Characters for Animated Features and Shorts

I hope these helped

I ask that no one removes the credit or source for this tutorial/guide please. thanks :)
