This group will be migrated to the new design soon. Please contact the group admins to start the migration and save content the group may lose access to.
Joining Rules: We here on “theAnimators” group understand that you don’t have to be an animator in order to appreciate the beauty of animation. So if you’re an animator, or have something to do with animation or just love, eat and breathe animation – you are welcome to join us and contribute to our group in any way you can. Membership is basically open to all. If you do not wish to join and contribute, but still interested in our group and it’s deviations, you can simply watch us instead. ^^ ++ TO JOIN ++ Click on Join Our Group button. Upon clicking the button, please explain the purpose of joining, what you know about animation (your expertise, if any), and how you would contribute to the group in the comment box. Also, please, if possible, post a link to the animation related work. Wait for ADMINS' decision. If your application is approved, you're in ^_^ Submitting Rules: We want to keep the contents of the gallery strictly related to animation; it can be traditional, digital, pixel, interactive media, stop motion, motion graphics, or visual effects in 2d and/or 3d, and even live footage integrated with animation. To submit artwork you must be a member of this group. After becoming one go to our main page and click "contribute art", or go to our gallery and click "submit to this gallery". Please submit to the appropriate category. To submit to specific category, click on the plus (+) button next to right of the folder names. Once you submitted your art, an admin will go over your submission and approve or reject it. Listed here below are what MEMBERS may submit and which submission goes to which folder. Please read carefully before submitting. Note: If you want your deviations to be accepted faster, please make sure you submit to the correct category and have an animated thumbnail for your work. Non-animated preview images leading to outside links (where the actual animation is) are NOT accepted, but animated gif previews are fine. ++ GALLERY CATEGORIES ++ Featured - This category represents the best of this group.

We don’t accept deviations for animations with links to site outside DA, only actual animations submitted to DA. We don't accept editing of live footage, unless it has at least some animation in it (exclude effects like explosions and such, which are really more automatic effects the software generated than actual animation).
