Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 16, 2023 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 16, 2023 That's cute. Until the king said that was a cat I didn't recognize it as a cat. I notice they are adding line boil for keep-alive during some holds, but not always . The drawing style reminds me of "Invader Zim". I like how they just use a soft focus on outlines (and less saturated color) to suggest distance rather than a more obvious "depth of field" lens blur. After I wrote that, I noticed this shot where they did use an obvious blur. Why does the "horse" not have outlines when everything else does? I'm not sure I got the ending. Enormous crew! But I didn't see any studio name? Was it a school project somewhere? I wonder how long it all took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Roger Posted February 17, 2023 Author *A:M User* Share Posted February 17, 2023 I suspect this is a school project, there was a professor in the "special thanks to" area. Quite a lot of people working on it for a school project, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 17, 2023 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 17, 2023 Maybe it's one of those things where one student gets anointed as the winner and everyone else is assigned to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe? I would be interested to know how long this took them, this seems like a rather involved project. I also saw some credits for CG work, but I'm not sure what they were referring to since I don't recall anything that struck me as being particularly "CG" looking.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 17, 2023 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 17, 2023 Here's a making-of/post-mortem Zoom chat by several of the creators. I have NOT watched all 1 hour and 45 minutes of it, but it seems to have been a school project and maybe somewhat less than a year elapsed in the production. One person animated a minute of it, which is an unusually large contribution considering how many other animators are credited. IMDb has this bit... "Made as a final thesis film at the acclaimed Savannah College of Art & Design". I have no idea how that works. I presumed thesis projects were primarily one person's work.

Interesting, that's what I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 18, 2023 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 18, 2023 I notice the mouth of the minotaur also has no outlines and looks like a rigid shape flapping around. My thumbnail theory is that the no-outine stuff is 3D done as a desperate last-minute fix, but if so... why did that get a more prominent credit than the 2D animators? Unless the people on that list only did exceedingly tiny things and the real animators are credited earlier as something more than just "animator"?
