Evolution of Scratch (Animation)

IT'S FINALLY DONE! This took months so please like and sub because KZbin hates quality over quantity
I've been using Scratch for 8 years, and it is one of my favorite platforms, thank you Scratch for all the amazing memories!!
I started this animation 2 years ago in 2021 (when I was 14), I had animated roughly up to 0:40 and also 1:18 - 1:42.
I recently found a 17 second clip of this animation I rendered out 2 years ago and promptly uploaded it to my channel, shortly afterwards I decided I should continue the project! After a month of hard work it is finally here, I hope you all enjoy!
My scratch account if you’re interested:
scratch.mit.ed...
Discord:
/ discord
The whole video was animated on 0 budget, using free software! The only cost was my time...
I used Blender for all the animation and Hitfilm Express for some compositing and as the video editing software
(EDIT: Apparently Hitfilm Express was discontinued in 2022 and the company that owns it is running it into the ground, I do not reccomend it!
I can't speak for their quality as I've never used either, but I've heard Davinchi Resolve and Kdenlive are both great AND FREE video editing software, use one of those!)
Please do not reupload the full video or clips of the full video on their own, clips of the video are fine if part of a bigger video.
Feel free to create a reaction video if you and/or your audience are connected to Scratch, otherwise, contact me!
ALWAYS give me credit with a link to this video when using the video in your content.

How is this THISS underrated!! It’s actually insane how much effort and love was probably put into this

[@Arrow-Pointer]

hello dude

[@Josemordata]

it's not underrated...

[@Theooolone]

The video only had like 40 views or something when this comment was made so yes it was underrated

so you think its bad no its good underrated means its good overrated means its bad@@Josemordata

[@Josemordata]

@@page550 oh, didn't knew that

[@TobbyTukaywan]

Love it! The part with the note blocks was really clever.

[@Theooolone]

Thank you! That was the first part I animated after picking the project back up around a month ago, so I had the most inspiration! I am glad you enjoyed!

[@SuperJSM]

This video reminded me of how long I've been in this community, and seeing how it evolved over time. This was very cool for more than the nostalgia value, the music the animation and the time you put into this really says it all.

[@le_kha50]

Scratch team needs to see this.

[@clearcodee_]

This gets me so much memories. Scratch was my entire childhood, that's how I became the current me. Thanks for bringing back so much nostalgia

[@DragonEyeGaming.]

AMAZING BRO HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 371 SUBS YOU DESERVE AT LEAST 100K THIS IS QUALITY CONTENT

[@Theooolone]

I’m sure if i continued making stuff like this id get several thousand subscribers but i don’t see myself ever getting 100k lol, I’m glad you enjoyed! also this video is getting a spike in views rn, 24 hours ago i had 341 or so

[@bouncytorch]

wonderful animation, genuinely. love all the creative transitions and such

[@FredNAirPlanes]

The good thing about Scratch is that if other games like Brawl Stars or Among Us, every year became worse and worse, Scratch is the opposite: every year it gets better and better

[@rusherdoesstuff]

It would be crazy if this was actually animated in Scratch. In Scratch or not, you’re talented. ❤

[@KTcomics]

I joined scratch in the 1.4 days. that was back in 2013. those were the good times. I still remember the first big time 'square that jumps around and avoids spikes' platformer that essentially established the entire genre on the website. made by the same guy who wrote "the taco incident". if you know, you know.

[@Joshua-qf9vq]

This is great and actually tells the entire history of scratch, from another block-based programming to one of the most successful IT learning website there is.

[@DaLaughingGODhaha]

This made me spill the nostalgia tear, amazing video

[@srb2er]

this is so good in so many ways pure perfection the note block segment was clean af and the ending was so clean

[@tm_yt323]

[@Lensferric]

yeahhh

[@lukes2030]

Problably, it'll come in 2025, cuz in 2007 Scratch 1.0 was launched, in 2013, 6 years later Scratch 2.0 was launched and in 2019, Scratch 3.0 was launched

I just watched a masterpiece really awesome work you've done this deserves more views

[@SkyWolfUnlimited]

WOAAAAH it's the first time I'm subscribing to someone while seing 1 of its videos ! Also, could you make the evolution of the scratch COMMUNITY, please ?

[@Theooolone]

I’m not the most involved with the scratch community so I’m not the best person to do that (It took a while to find all the projects featured near the end, I had to ask some others more involved in the community) but youll be glad to know im making a behind the scenes video that’ll reveal some of the tricks i used to make this video!

[@carsiccl]

i applaud you as someone who has been on scratch for a year, i can't remember any other versions not only is this editing great, but the smooth transitions too the 3D parts (like 0:15) look so well done the music is great, and you got permission, too?! you're underrated bro, the fact this only has 4.7k views--this should have 1 mil at least for this

[@Theooolone]

Thank you for enjoying! also you're probably the only youtube user who actually reads the description lol, so many people asking what software this was made in...

[@Tech-Multiverse72]

i can call you an awesome animator by just watching this video

[@Kurczaq]

0:10 in the project counter hidden numbers are: 420: magic number, 69: magic number, 1: the loneliest number.

epic, you found one of the secrets!

[@justthatguy018]

Love the music, love the transitions, well done.

[@mightythearmiddilo]

[@Theostar33]

And this was made with a free animation software?! I don't even know how to download Blender and someone managed to make this?! How?! You're insane.

[@Theooolone]

I think a good portion, if not all of the newest spiderverse movie was animated using Blender. It’s a super powerful piece of software! We’re super lucky that it’s free and open source

[@piggy004]

Blender is for 3D not 2D animation

[@Theooolone]

@@piggy004 Blender can make 2D animations the same way Unity can make 2D games, very easily.
