This Animation Concept Terrifies Me... but I like it

[@rodrigosousa8853]

Thank you so much for the shoutout, great video and it's true that this concept trailer really put me in a position where studios and financiers contacted me instead of the other way around. I have been living out of making my own films ever since I posted this playground trailer. Not easy to take the time to work on your own projects, but it's time well spent and even if your films don't make millions views ( this as a lot to do with luck and algorithms etc..) you will end up with a short film you can share with others and won't regret making! Thank you again for your analysis it really warms my heart that people enjoy my work! All the best!

Man, that trailer was insane! Hopefully, the opportunity to make this a full project presents itself. I would definitely support it. Hope everything goes well for you on this journey!

[@rodrigosousa8853]

@@The_Weekly_Infinite thank you so much I have been working on making it a longer format for a year now, I have been fortunate to have a lot of studios interested but it takes some time! I will keep people updadet on my youtube channel once I have official info!

[@HowardWimshurst]

Yeyy!! You found the video! I just want to personally say thank you for your unique contribution to animation. So much admiration here for you working hard to live the dream and you totally earned it! I've been watching your series of short films now and they are fantastic!

I love your animations, also is that hacker leaving you alone now?

[@SirAwesomeVille]

This is my all time most anticipated indie series. The style and mood is unlike anything I've seen!

He already got a series in Adult Swim, it is called "Uncanny Alley" it is in youtube, 3 episodes so far.

[@RosarioTijeras-g9o]

What's the duration of these episodes?

[@sethender443]

I pretty much know the trailer off by heart at this point😂 Been there from the beginning!!!

[@darnact]

I'm just glad it wasn't based on the book "Playground".

[@HowardWimshurst]

haven't heard of that book

[@darnact]

@@HowardWimshurst Keep it that way. XD

[@bluehairedemon]

I'm so glad more people are seeing this, I randomly found it on youtube a long time ago and was hyped ever since

[@SkribbyDoodle]

It really is such a beautiful piece of art. You can very clearly tell that a lot of love and experience went into it

[@sirguarenlot]

the creature with the double face reminds me of Felix Colgrave's animations

[@animatorFan74]

This trailer is freaking amazing.... looks so so good! Hope this guy gets his movie funded. :) On a different note, are you running anymore animation contests again? I'd be keen to enter.

[@LocalDragonman]

I've had my eye on this for a while! glad to see others cover it

[@EvieShihShadowFireSword]

Oh hell yeah!! I remember watching this like two years ago, so it's really exciting to watch you taking a look at this.

[@sloft-70]

**Spongebob on a tiny roller coaster gif** In all seriousness the animation looks straight out of a Miyasaki film and I can't wait for full animation to come out!

[@Franko250]

this is like one of the best trailers i have ever watched in my life i love the playground

[@akinlikesfilms960]

its giving scavengers reign vibes and im here for it

I forgot it existed 😭 when will it come out

[@painis_awesome]

Can't wait for a full series to be released

[@H1dront390]

I came here fro my stem midterm exam, and very exhausted. Thanks for re-railing me to what I want. Since it's been like a month since I tried to animate. Still trying to discipline myself though...

[@jrestik9747]

this must be a thing its just the perfect horror to be pot in an animation i get chills every time i see it

[@vernaute2803]

I saw another artist like Oleg Vdovenko on the creator of ebf's likes on twitter (before they removed them) only the theme was more domestic less scifi, a little bit more realistically rendered, very unsettling. I don't recall his name, but I was reminded of their work by the presentation of Oleg.

[@HowardWimshurst]

I'd love to check it out if you find it!

[@vernaute2803]

@@HowardWimshurst I was able to find that artist, Dan Peacock, I didn't realize they'd worked on some other recognizable projects since then. I have to appreciate twitter for having had likes in the past.

Eu preciso dessa obra feita completa com produção por trás e muito lucro para esse animador.

Now when i think aboit it. The Legos are like maze and the demonic spider monster from HELL is climbing up.

[@You-ye4xb]

it reminds me of infinity train

[@JaelinBai]

its like studio Ghibli if it was horror

[@yovidal4]

this remember the first and last short in the movie neotokio and the movie kakurembo

[@Collato]

The thing is this is all hype for concept alone with no mention of story, maybe speculation but nothing official. I agree it’s a very smart idea to make a trailer before making the project but if your project heavily relies on story that a trailer does not convey the odds will be against you. That being said anything art driven or just has great art will work like gangbusters since the second I saw this trailer I have been dying of anticipation for when it will be picked up and finished.

[@HowardWimshurst]

If you aren't able to convey or at least tease your animated story within a trailer... could that be a problem with the creator / trailor editor? Are you sure the problem is with the trailer format? I think a lot of the story came across in this trailer. Or are we confusing story with plot?

[@Collato]

@@HowardWimshurst @ Possibly mixing up story with plot, it’s true that the “overall story” and theme comes across in a trailer but my point was being what if say your project has an amazing story/script but your visuals are lacking, both in quality in art and not contextually interesting. I’m just saying a lot of the indie art scene would benefit greatly by looking for investors with a trailer but I just worry there will be some people with a good idea but a crap trailer that might have a better chance with a different kind of showcase like one entire completed scene or something like that.

[@stifledvoice]

Not anti-capitalism, but why does animation have to be a "product"? Why can't it just be art or a statement...

[@HowardWimshurst]

Doesn't have to be. If you're flexible you can see it as one or the other depending on the context of the conversation, or maybe even... both symultaneously.

[@halidramzan2803]

Amazing! 😦

[@theplague5803]

I saw this animation a while ago and I was looking it up for so long to see if any more was made Well no but apparently there is a book by the same name that is very fucked up
