Week 5

I finally finished the first animation here: https://youtu.be/L9VVxzodw_8

It took two weeks to put together and a week to edit, which is why it looks so bad. I was really running out of time.

Well, I can move on with other animations now. This week had been mostly editing the first animation, but while I was working on that one I was looking at a podcast that I really like called Sleepycast and decided to animate one of their many funny scenarios. I've done a rough animatic and because I've only given myself three weeks to finish it, it's going to be a challenge.

Week 1 and Week 2

ive done this backwards. im doing some blog catch up here. The first two weeks had been dreadful. I made an animatic then scraped most of it cause it wasn't funny. I have some screen-shots from the animatic.

this is the establishing shot. I changed the sign from poodle corp head quarters, (which is like this hacker group on the internet that troll youtubers and take down game servers) to Grandmas house.

the first two screen shots are still apart of the animation but the last one was going to show that they kidnapped a dude and were doing tests on him to enter his brain. I also had a lot more dialogue in the first animatic. the workload was starting to get to be too much though, thats part of the reason why I scraped it.

you may have seen this guy in the earlier post but I was messing around in flash and trying to find a style that could sorta split the workload in half. well this hybrid style of symbol animation and hand drawn kind made it faster but also made it a lot harder, because I was still trying to figure it out. Im liking how this is coming together.

Week 3 and Week 4

Ive forgotten to update this thing again. so ive been working on making some short animations for my youtube channel. ths video is a parody of h3h3's time to stop video, where ethan in my animatons is hacking to find the location of another youtuber he talks about in his video. this has been a challenge because two weeks of work I did wasn't really funny (neither the current animation), so I scraped it and was rushing to get something done over the next two weeks. here are the animations that I did.

There was alot of experimenting going on during the making of these clips. th animation style is not one I would usually choose. I like hand drawn animation over using symbols but I find using the symbols, while pretty restricting is way faster they hand drawn, but im still new to process and getting better at it as I play around in flash.

the floating one is my favorite. im currently compositing the video together in after effects. im pretty sure this video isn't going to be that funny but I want to finish so I can start on a new animation.
