Animation - Adding Textures

Best experienced in 1080p, KZbin's bitrate does not like this one.
Had the idea for this textured effect about a year ago and finally committed to buying the necessary colored pencils. Was originally just going to have the video be a side-by-side comparison of before and after, but as I was putting it together I thought it would be more fun to animate the layering process itself.
Planning to use this effect every now and again for animations that don't have backgrounds.
Tried out a lot of new stuff:
- Animating in 1080p
- Syncing movements / transitions to music for the whole video
- Moving the focus around a lot: If you see anything change speed, frame rate, opacity, saturation, or position, it's to either grab your attention or move it somewhere else.
- Two-character interactions: pretty similar to the previous item. Just like the inanimate objects here, mute characters are limited to visual cues to tell the viewer where to look next.
- Foregoing time charts and frame numbers: too confusing for the number of moving parts, much more efficient to wing it.
Music Used: Toy Tracks (Kirby's Epic Yarn)

I love the characters’ expressions so much! You can clearly tell that the squirrel is perhaps a little displeased with the rabbit’s choice of animation subject

[@eliescobis9922]

amogus sus

[@SkrunklBunkl]

Me too!! I love how cute they were able to make all the characters with the expressions! It just gives a whole new being of life into animations

[@beans9518]

It’s a rat. Stupid. 🐀

[@feeplemurphy4618]

That is not a squirrel

[@skulls1269]

@@feeplemurphy4618Look at the tail and ear shape

[@goldblooded6329]

The irony of the detailed animation to draw an amogus for three seconds is something else. I love this. I love this a whole lot

[@SpringBross]

Correct!

[@CrimsonTintedGlasses]

I like how the rabbit learned to shut his eyes when the camera flash for the second series of pictures, subtle, but cute touch.

[@indyvids5001]

I love how expressive Zulu and Ruper are in this animation and the actions syncing with the music, and I also think that you did a good job shifting the focus from subject to subject. I just love the animation in general!

[@clawcakes2]

omg i didnt know they had names. where did you learn this lore

[@indyvids5001]

@@clawcakes2 Oh, there's a comment from Sirloin that says this.

[@shirobonJE]

Unrelated, but is Ruper the rabbit one?

[@indyvids5001]

​@@shirobonJEHm, I think? I can't seem to find the comment.

[@SirloinBurgers]

@@shirobonJE Yes :)

[@TheRat__]

There is so much emotion in the art I love it

[@Hirotechnics]

The fact that the character animation itself is so much more difficult than the process depicted lol. What an amazing, subtle flex.

[@claytoncoe838]

I love the detail of the teacher drawing the key frames and the apprentice drawing the in-betweens

[@Hedgehogsupremacy]

I love the way you interpreted it! I interpreted it as the bunny being bad at animating and the squirrel having to do it for him. 😂

[@doifhg]

I feel physical pain from how much work has to go into these, they're very impressive

[@sumuggum]

0:53 The little detail of tapping the pen instead of dragging for coloring

[@GearHeadedHamster]

This may be a silly detail to appreciate, but I love the hand off of the pen at 0:51. Just good ol' object in hand animation right there.

[@Galaxxi]

this is a really cute way to explain how you apply textures to animation 🥺

[@westonlane2000]

It's an animation about animating inside of an animation!!!

[@ZachGatesHere]

These are absolutely stunning. I'm amazed.

[@TheSilly6403]

This is phenomenal! Seeing the context of the effort you put in makes me appreciate all of your art even more!

[@Obsurdfixations]

You are genuinely so freaking talented!!

[@boufrops6845]

Holy moly, this process is genius!

[@Dune878]

I was like - “Wait a minute. THIS SOUNDS LIKE KIRBY”

[@elecmagpulse7385]

The effect is awesome, and the animation is adorable! ❤️

[@collinarter2470]

that animation of them moving the slide cover is so cool

[@mr80s81]

This is adorable, oh my gosh! I love how fluid and how much emotion each movement and expression has, it's so cute! The weight behind each movement is so fun. Great job!

[@E-nfileexe]

I’ve never seen someone make a video tutorial about something By only using what their teaching as the tutorial You have a detailed animated tutorial about detailed texture animation In AN ANIMATION WITH NO WORDS AT ALL

[@olavored1733]

Nice animation! Like seriously, those are really adorable designs for the characters, and the way you animate is very expressing.

[@namerose]

I’m screaming this is the greatest informative animation I’ve ever seen in my life you are a ledgend

[@El_Bingus_Cringus]

Holy delightful animation

[@dearestreject]

What a cool little informational toon.

[@S71ckBug]

ayy, nice animation!

[@therodentestcat]

I always really like your work, and usual you've outdone yourself !!

[@puretestosterone9614]

This looked really hard to make, looks like one of the most professional animations I've seen on this site. You've got great stuff ahead of you

[@ByondRAGE]

I’ve never seen so much effort put into what on the surface appears to be just a simple KZbin tutorial Amazing as always

[@heydontjudge]

Every single part of this is wonderful and SO SMOOTH

[@Jachii9]

I have no idea what this video is about, but I’m glad I watched it

[@SeanIncorporated]

Maybe it's because I don't work on animations with other people often, but I just LOVE the detail of them passing the pen back and forth as they work on different steps of the animation! These animations you do are so fun and inspiring yo!

[@SofieGrozovski]

Somewhere in the middle I forgot these characters are also drawn. Absolutely amazing, it's "too good to be true" feeling.

[@MindmusicArt]

So much work for a textured gif loop! ;3 Your animations are always excellent and so much fun to watch! ❤

[@TempestKrimps]

to say you deserve immense success would be the understatement of the century. this is amazing animation, you have so much talent!

[@benjaminchristianson2584]

such a dedicated, passionate way of explaining an idea.

[@GlowstickLamps]

This is so cute! Love the Kirby's Epic Yarn music in the bg, it works very well with thus art!

[@woofexe4050]

This is amazing and so unique! I loved watching them create art while they are also in fact art, how beautiful!

[@JI0MB]

Very very cute animation, and good progress as well! Here's to many more animations to come 🥂

[@armagedonthe1gamer]

wow so much detail about the animation process, I really like the among us left animating in the corner. In general I think this would be a great thing to show to people for them to understand how much work goes into animation. So much here to show and comment on especially if it were seen by a class full of students.

[@jessejayjones]

This is so cute! You really put a lot of work into this and it shows! Really nice presentation 😊

[@camelboy23]

Omg the way they remove the line art layer. That's so clever!

[@uncledoggo]

This channel is a joy to watch.

This feels anachronistic cause it reminds me of disney or other good old cartoons like that but then BAM among us
