Making an animated film: step by step process, struggles and what I learnt 🎬🌟

[@SakuraOpalArt]

Hello!!!! Hope everyone is doing well~ I know I've said it in the video, but genuinely thank you all for the sweet comments on my film. I'm truly glad that it could resonate with some of you, and hopefully it can always be there for comfort as well. 💓🥺 Also.. I have merch now, so it would mean a lot if you can support!!! ⇢ sakuartshop.bigcartel.com/ Preorder ends on July 1 2024, so order now since I don't think I'll be selling it online again~!! I've restocked everything else too, so check it out

Wow

[@MiNiAudrey]

I don’t know why this year is much quicker than others, times really flies. You have improved so much, in animation and video editing :)

[@belbelenbel]

I really really loved your film!! And your making ofs? ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. they are so inspiring and motivational when i'm feeling down with my art and process, never stop making these when you finish ur next films 👁️👁️

[@oatflavoredmilk]

Pretending to be your oc and taking an mbti test is actually genius!! I need to try that for my oc's. Lovely work btw!!!

I am a Flash animator based in Pretoria South Africa. I love inbetweening, hit me up when you need a helping hand.

This video really resonates with me as i also do a lot of character in depth design with my characters and the fact that your character vivian was so reluctant to leave her shell felt similar to how i felt when i was trying out new things and moving on from people from me, i think the film and the way the entire thing was animated was as beautiful and cinematic as ghibli movies (lol just like you wanted it to be!!!). The film was amazing i hope you take a good break during the summer !!!

[@jonremimuziq]

Its so awesome to see the entire process for how you build a story and the world it lives in! Love this! And I loved your film btw. Also, as a music composer myself, really great job with creating, recording and engineering your own song. So dope fr fr!! How'd you like that process. Its definitely a different "hat" to wear when it comes to making music vs making film. But I'm sure it has its parallels too. I especially love the Studio Ghibli aspect of things too. I just recently composed a track inspired by Joe Hisaishi's work. I'd love for you to check it out. I wrote it for a film project as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ6xc2eolr-jrtksi=eItg3IS-XHzvUWjV&t=204

SAKU SLAY!!! I was genuinely struggling with the way i usually get my ideas (which is by dreaming at night) but when you actually said you got the idea behind this film at 3 in the morning, it actually felt nice? That I wasnt the only weird one? Lol omg,,,

[@how2life255]

Ty for sharing your story. You passionately explained your thoughts and feelings in your work.

[@emmanuelle7146]

road blocks* 😂

[@johnylitalo4163]

Like I would always say, if you can't compete with them, collaborate with them.

[@Obscure_Elf7]

I love art and Animation and I want to animate something like you did someday. thanks for making this.

[@Kcolonel_69]

your journey brought back my memories from my early college days. As long as I keep myself busy, I don't get time to miss home.

[@emilysartcart]

I’m glad to see people doing this. I’m hoping to make a series. Right now I’m practicing with animated shorts ands it’s going well. It’s nice to see other creatives and their process. Thanks for sharing!

[@kaicastle.]

21:49 Wow, you really have supportive friends.. It's amazing.. Imagine being surrounded by supportive people! Congratulations on the film!

[@pringrings22]

If it's possible can you tell me the template you used for the document that Izzy is reading at 9:53?

[@Mahsurik]

Well done. I’ve always wanted to animate one of my short stories. Your wonderful video gave me a headstart on what to expect when making a film like this. You are officially an inspiration to my creative endeavors. May you find success in this art career.

[@riaxri03]

Really, congrats to you Veda! Your film is so touching and seeing the process from start to finish makes it that much more beautiful. Keep going! I can't wait to see what you create next🫶

[@picat3422]

seeing all the care put into making this film and everything about it explained is really inspiring and even just seems like so much fun, i wanna do this too

[@flooflez5051]

WAIT BRO THIS VIDEO IS SUCH A BANGER WHAT THE

[@TheArtisticAxolotl]

You’ve improved a lot! And I loved your animation film :D It took way more time and effort to make than I expected!

[@ponywhisp5787]

0W0 YOU SHOULD DO A SERIES HEHE

[@aliciashen5970]

so proud of you

[@FudanshIKun]

I'm about to graduate next year and I see no point in graduating or celebrating graduation too. since anyone? (at least me) still feels like, I have to chase down my dreams and goals. Except just to get my Degree certificate for job hunting.

[@summe3sky]

This really made me cry because it's so nostalgic!! Congrats for making this amazing film It's amazing, no joke

[@LauraBonfert]

I can really understand your resolution in the end. Like the not working alone and trying to depend on friends. I did my first film alone as well and it has benefits, but I don't think I want to work completely alone again. Thank you for your video 🥰

[@unicornart-k8r1c]

🥇🎧💜🌆 🙌!! As always, blown away by this short documentary. The way you plan and intuitively execute....AHA! Its all soo refreshing to watch!!

[@xl.001]

Ohh me also i am trying to draw oc and i am using mbti to make their personality 😭

[@cookieee8336]

I lovedddd this process video since you not only showed the technical aspects but the emotional too and how much it meant to you. I really really wanted to say how much I love the music in your film! The theme songs melody hits different and I’ve been having it stuck in my head for the last few days. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! (Also Ty for including those scribbles of the music, now I can make a guitar cover 🤭) And it’s so cool ur back to weekly uploadsss! Hope u have the best summer!

[@kuyajaypi]

[@zulfiqrio]

I'm an animation student. This video makes me want to learn more and encourages me to create my own animations. I hope that one day I'll create an animation company.

To be honest, the film was amazing and truly touched my heart as someone who’s graduating this year. I'm so glad that your film succeeded, I’m so happy and proud of you ☆彡The sad part is that this year hasn’t gone the way I wanted, but I’m still trying to accept the reality. 🩷🩷🤍🤍
