How do people animate stuff so well...
No, I'm not talking stickmen animations etc.
I'm talking about slime (liquid stuff) animations, character animations, how do people do them so well?

Lolwut?
Like, full-length 3d animated feature films... They don't actually animate every wave in an ocean, they animate an ocean and tell it to react to the environment around it.

Same as a stick man; move each piece where it should go bit by bit individually. It's a bit harder though because there are more bits to move is all.
I'm back, and showcasing two new* projects! Click left or right on the image below to see!

Well, people are really good at animating things because they spend a lot of time on it and its a hobby or job of theirs. Animating is challenging, as the typical animation has 24 frames per second. Forgot where I learned that from.
Shadows Breach Episode 1, taking Scratch animating to the next level.

24 frames per second? I'm used to at least 30 FPS lol. That isn't a problem for me, the question is, what techniques are used?
I know it takes a long time. It takes a long time to do a plain body drawing with no expression/hair/accessories at a much lower FPS.
