February's animation? In June? How late am I???????? (Don't answer that)
Yeeeeeah, I know I'm very late on this one. AND on top of that, I have to do March, April, May, and June's animation to be up-to-date.
What can I say? Things have gotten pretty busy these past few months. Now that the dust has kinda settled, it's time to go into TURBO MODE.
But before I do, I want to present February's animation! Shot in my own room!
I'm still set in being experimental for this year's set of animations, so for this one I wanted to execute the idea of a digital character going into our analog world, which involved some stop motion work. The animation/camera work for the stop motion bit is pretty rough, but I wasn't aiming for perfection; I wanted to try something new and see if I can pull it off, and I think it's pretty competent!
Just like with January's animation, the original idea/length of the animation was longer in concept, but I had to cut corners to speed up the process. Even after that, I had to go in and cut out even more corners to really be able to have a finished video for today's posting.
The stop motion part was heavily cut short to save time while the 2D animation's original beginning had to be entirely scrapped in favor of something more simple and easier to complete.
The final video wouldn't exist if I didn't have my brother and friend helping me out with this one! I had my brother to help snap the photos while I had a friend of mine help out with some video editing work, so a big thanks to those two!
Now I'm off to start March's animation!
