Mech film project

[@GabrielMartinez-ho4fl]

My brain can not come to understand, that a single person can get to do something like this.

[@SassyPatches]

Coffee

[@GabrielMartinez-ho4fl]

SHATORR Coffee

[@notsogood4321]

i believe its called coffee

[@incardia]

he must be asian... or on stims

[@Zachomara]

I think stims. Seriously. A lot of stims.

[@starmorpheus]

'Space Vietnam tank robots" Didn't think a few words were enough to make a man cry

[@gomine5971]

Did I hear 08th MS Team?

[@JustAnotheNeoSilver]

@@gomine5971 No. You heard Armored Troopers VOTOMs, which is ostensibly another level of awesome.

[@kryoruleroftheninthcircleo4151]

“Space Vietnam.” *Umbara flashbacks*

[@starmorpheus]

@Jacob Nichols It's been 4 years and we're still waiting 😩

[@megazero952]

i needed a new 8ths ms team

[@OtaKing77077]

Technically, I was first. Checkmate, atheists.

[@AMadar-kj5hb]

You're going to make a 1 hour mech anime, So check, check mate, Christians.

[@84Static]

OtaKing77077 Bro Please how much would you charge for making a small fan made video about arsenal?

[@OtaKing77077]

I don't really do comissions because animation takes so long to do that I can't really make a living off of it, and I don't really know anything about football, sorry!

[@ScarriorIII]

Battle-tech! Battle-tech! Do it! Do it! Do it!

[@mkhnr]

Heavy Gear! What about more human shaped robots?

[@Wh1t3W0lf159]

YOUR DEDICATION TO THE GLORY OF MEKS AND UNMATCHED SKILLS OF ANIMATION MAKE ME ROCK HARD SIR

[@NorthernMouse52]

eek! 😮

[@Daftotron]

I really hope you make it big, man. the animation industry needs animators and animation directors like you.

[@DarkTenka]

Finally! "Mecharrior:The Animation". God I can't wait for this.

[@tetsujin_144]

Actually, that was already a thing: www.imdb.com/title/tt0138224/

[@justinjacobs1501]

Shhhh.... We don't like to talk about that to much. Been binging MWO the last few months. I'm apparently part of that little cult that surrounds the Locust.

[@benjaminbraghtley515]

Are u still waiting? Any new after all these years?

[@Derpalon]

Mechs? No bullshit superpowers or overpowered characters? No whiny teenaged protagonists? No god-awful CGI? Space Vietnam / Gundam 08th MS Team theme? Otaking, it's like you have a window into my soul. This is almost exactly the anime I've been wanting for like a decade. I've never donated to a Patreon before, but I think this is going to be my first one.

[@XimCines]

You talked for me.

[@0Aberration]

Really interested to see how this turns out. "Mecha Vietnam combat" speaks to me, and I loved "08th MS Team". (and I did chip in my dollar, FYI.)

[@OtaKing77077]

Thank you! Very much appreciated!

[@alastairward2774]

0Aberration ditto, on both Gundam and the dollar.

[@nickrapp7482]

Dude 08th ms team is sooo good

[@yoloman3607]

Nick Rapp It’s funny that one of their cult classics is a spinoff that tries to be more realistic. People always say gundam brought realism the the mecha genre, so the logical evolution would be to add more realism right? Makes a 12 episode mini series, get great reviews, STOPS.

[@senint]

Yooooooo! 08th gang! …for other recommended mechas I recommend VOTOMS, and the Canadian tabletop game ”spin-off” created from VOTOMS tabletop roleplay game idea Sunrise declined for greenlighting… 😂

[@zega155]

Damn.....after watching Monday he dafinetly got better with character animation over time.

[@SemiZeroGravity]

holy crap how everything moves is just Beautiful

[@dragon5521]

Space. Mech. Vietnam. Tanks. So.... Battletech?

[@euanrouch3050]

Yes. with a bit of Gundam, VOTOMS and Generation Kill mixed in too.

[@typehere6689]

Early Battletech is Mad Max in space with a fair amount of Game of Thrones mixed in.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

@@typehere6689 spot on!

[@zerox8413]

More like MechWarrior animation instead 😂😂😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/maW0kHl7fd93ndU

[@typehere6689]

Mechwarrior is a part of the Battletech franchise.

[@DoctorPhobos]

Sounds a lot like classic BattleTech.

[@Aliexster]

They're even deploying in a Lance rather than the three mech squad most animes favor.

[@badpexalpha2873]

You make it sound so easy. Really great stuff.

[@logangagnepain7154]

This whole thing screams "MECHWARRIOR" And i love Mechwarrior And i love your animations Put two and two together and now im excited!

[@LArbongo]

Seeing one man make something as well drawn and fluidly animated as this gives me reason to believe that big studios have no excuse for choppy animation and shortcuts.

[@Drawerofstuff00]

I'm REALLY liking this! Can't wait to see more! 😃

[@Cypherthegreatest]

Any news on this Im still hyped for it 4 years later

[@richardrothkugel8131]

The aesthetic is incredible. Love it

[@plussum3255]

I love mechs, hyped for your film. Keep it up bruh.

[@TheDecatonkeil]

Okay dude, I started watching this and I told myself "If this guy made something retro cyberpunk anime..." I'd pledge. I'm not huge into mecha, but I saw this and heard what you had to say about it being more realistic, showing your designs and the animation that you have for it and I said, fuck it. You're the first person I support through patreon (I don't do it under this nick), and who knows, maybe economic problems will someday prevent me from continuing, but when I see what you do I say "This guy is living my dream of being an animator, he's not slaving away hours in the shitty animation industry but he's doing what he wants to do and for free". It's almost a moral imperative. P.s. Consider doing something purely cyberpunky one of these days, plz.

[@OtaKing77077]

Thanks! I really love the original Bubblegum Crisis (which is heavily inspired by Blade Runner in terms of setting) and I love cyberpunk city settings, so definitely in the future....

[@JIbbWhistle]

This mech project looks awesome. Would love to see your take on the Cyberpunk genre!

[@longdragon7067]

I love the pre clan Battletech universe. this mechaverse you made looks and sounds great! I can't wait to see more! Your animation is on par with the best Anime out there by the way!

[@americangi5701]

Shut up- and take my money

[@20tifer]

First time i feel like i can actually do that

[@americangi5701]

heheh

[@kummer45]

You get ship design perfect. Your skills are needed in the video game industry. GIVE THIS MAN A CREW, game designers and a studio. He will do greatness. Simple.

[@PandorasBox7777]

I'm so excited for, literally, anything you work on. Kind of wish you had the funding and personnel to be an independant crowd funded group so we could always get this stuff

[@lakamokolaka]

I think I just broke my computer from how much money im trying to shove into it to see this project come true

[@CyberViking97]

and once again it feels like you're in my head drawing my dreams. i'll be happy to be able support you Paul.

[@elronman]

"mechs but tanks" all I needed to hear.

[@marklafrancis253]

Damn. I absolutely adore your work. I've been working on a writing project for a while now and every time I imagine my characters designs I see your style, more or less, fused with the Fullmetal Alchemist style of artwork. What I wouldn't give to have the disposable income to hire you to do the artwork for the story I've been working on.

[@krinkrin5982]

This looks really interesting and extremely ambitious. I like the modular mech designs, with specialization requiring cooperation. Subscribed.

[@bjollnirbjordsen9795]

I'm not crazy about the animation style on the people but as for the spaceships you are an absolute genius who has revolutionized techniques for doing detailed mechanical animation. Some big animation house needs to hire you as a project lead ASAP because you have found the sweet spot between hand drawn and cgi

[@Arro3]

Your animation quality is absolutely astounding. I'll be sure to pledge to you. Best of luck, fellow animator!

[@maninthecamohat2735]

Thanks!

[@BZAKether]

I really hope to see this finished one day.

[@Michirin9801]

This looks bloody amazing! I'm definitely looking forward to the full thing ^^

[@Quatra05]

My goodness, you have quite the gift. From an artist to an artist, well done!

[@ravenclawtom]

God dang I love your work. I wish I had the disposable income to support you!

[@darinherrick2503]

Just found out about the Patreon page and immediately signed up. I love this style of animation and can’t get enough. If the little bit I can give helps make it happen then I’ll be overjoyed. When I make my millions I’ll bankroll a feature length film.

[@KrgDrc]

This is really amazing Paul, found you only last night and have watched all the animation you've done that I could find. Best wishes and good luck!

[@alexbaxthedarkside]

Sounds absolutely awesome this film Otaking, Cant wait to see it, your work is keeping old school japanimation alive and by the sound of this project pushing it in a new direction :)

[@chwenhoou]

As soon as I pay off my bills this month, I will be funding you on Patreon. I love how this mech movie is turning out. In the meantime, I will spread the word on your Patreon and help you reach that goal. Keep up the awesome work, Paul.

[@5upr3m3Rv7]

You are the messiah that will save the mech genre. You have my support!

[@jc3132]

Epic, really looking forward to it. Well done and keep up the hard work. Love all the conceptual plans you have laid out in store for the movie so far.

[@moonman3030]

wow this was 6 years ago. have you bought it to fruition yet? it looks really great. id love to see the completed film

[@ProducerMaki]

Still happening, new material this summer. He was working to finish Monday first if you want to check out the trailer.

[@ryanadolfi4007]

That's incredible!! I believe you are one of the most talented animators I've ever come across. And you do these by yourself? Crazy! If I had any money, I'd be happy to give you money on patreon. Good luck man, I can't wait to see the film!

[@Imperius1772]

Creativity of this level is so underrated.

[@DigiCube4]

I love it. This is that old adult feel. We haven't anything other than teenagers with super powers for ages.

[@Galomortalbr]

making fake anime,that look better than actualy anime

[@20tifer]

If its made in America its a cartoon right? What are the rules for this again?

[@Funkopotomis]

depends on how much of a weeb you be

[@taliwave1946]

Dunno about better, speaking from a animation method perspective

[@blackRXrider]

there's good anime out there. you must be watching that harem garbage

[@Galomortalbr]

just speaking about animation,not the rest

[@Shogun0099]

I have never felt this much yes in my entire life.

[@raseruuu3742]

Why is the movement so smooth? My first video from you that I've seen is R-type which i enjoyed in my childhood. Love your work man!

[@thelewddwarf28]

When I finally check my subs and find one of your vids, it's like Christmas morning! I love your animations.

[@thaiwin6173]

Man, I love some good old Macross/Battletech style of Mecha combat

[@95dude]

Damn the background have so much details.Nice work!!

[@B0rn2Gam3]

As a Mecha fan, consider me excited. This looks great and I'll be looking forward to it. Also, "08th MS team but with more realism"? I need this in my life.

[@Glenndogamer35]

I have been waiting SO LONG for something like this and I'm excited to see how you are going to pull this off

[@murphinators7589]

This project sounds awesome! I wish big anime studios would do more stuff like what you have planned.

[@techticianlarsproductions6180]

I saw your work in the warframe video and immediately knew it was you because of your style. You are one of the coolest animators I have ever seen.

[@Sliferzero]

This Looks Cool my friends. Thanks.

[@LucasVenturoso]

One hour? holy shit you really are crazy. Love your work

[@billrich9722]

This appeals to me for sure. I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like. Being a BattleTech fan, this seems like it is right up my ally.

[@bobmartin9918]

thank you for once again making me shed a tear for HAWKEN...

[@SteelAngelJohn]

You have my support, if only because your stuff is amazing, and I LOOOOVE Mecha.

[@mikea2363]

god your animarion is gorgeus

[@colhubbard9348]

Love this. One thing i would suggest, is..... do a homeworld anime (based of the homeworld PC game series) that would be epic i think as well

[@Reziichu]

holy crap! this looks soooooo good. Your vision is amazing.

[@xenocyde8498]

sooo its allot like BattleTech and man your animation is like the anime from the 90's and back and my god I love it!!! also made me so happy to hear someone bring up votoms!

[@fadedtiger3181]

Dude you are awesome. You may be the first youtube I support via patreon.

[@NickDaGamer1998]

Holy shit! You're alive! I remember subscribing to you when you did the Doctor Who & Tie Fighter short films, and loved your art style. Will definitely donate.

[@thomaskraus7077]

3:11 "space"

[@20tifer]

I loved that

[@davemarx7856]

Gotta label all the things. How else would we know? It could have been bubbles outside the view port. An eternal field of bubbles.

[@Kooljupiter]

it would be sooooo dope to see Predator in your style

[@razorburn645]

Looks impressive, best of luck and as an old Mech warrior fan I am definitely excited.

[@1994Powerslave]

That bar background posters, though.

[@RTL2L]

Love your attitude towards mechs - warmachines, like tanks.

[@Themeir]

I don't know who you are, i don't know how i got here but i love you and the beautiful thing you doing.

[@connorwaltman4966]

Hey OtaKing (yes I got the reference from Otaku No Video), Your retro anime style animations are cool and I like old school anime back in the day like Cowboy Bebop and Ninja Scroll. I see that you put much detail into your designs of characters.

[@tohpingtiang4878]

Just a thought. Nothing like hot coffee in your face when zero gravity kicks in! I've always liked it when ship move out of the planet's shadow and the outline of the ship lit up.

[@rturae]

I can't wait for this! You have my support dude!

[@rthiro8667]

This is legitimately better than anime

[@soundcloudpandapandawa2997]

Hour long animated film can't wait to for real this looks Really cool and great

[@Raven1180]

6 years have passed...

[@ProducerMaki]

Still happening, new material this summer.

[@stormwolf78]

I love that you have Basara Nekki's guitar in the background. Love the nod to Macross :D

[@ssgsorrels]

I really like both the designs for the female pilots. looks great

[@ShinKyuubi]

Oh..this is gonna be good, 08th MS Team is actually one of my favorites of the Gundam series, it's why one of my favorite mobile suits is the EZ-8..just something about it I really like that I can't explain well. I would suggest watching a side story spin off of VOTOMS called Armor Hunter Mellowlink, it takes place in the same universe and the protagonist goes up against the mechs of the series on foot using only terrain, strategy, an anti-AT rifle and a handheld pile bunker attachment for the rifle. I really look forward to seeing how this turns out, TIE Fighter was amazing and your little shorts for the mech stuff were top notch, I can't wait to see how this comes out.

[@claxvii177th6]

You are a literal animation God.

[@tetsujin_144]

I hope your patreon keeps you alive this month. If not, maybe it'll keep you alive next month!

[@jair78972]

I haven't seen such images for a long time... I don't know what to call them, maybe beautiful or so well worked

[@rougehawk]

I dont even know what this is. But I know you good Sir and let me tell you right now I am fucking stoked!!!

[@starbomber]

8th MS team was best gundam, I'm all for this!

[@nathanieldiazrua]

Greetings Ota! Dude, your concept is incredible. I am amazed how an army of one can pull off work at the level of big studios! Great Job! Make a DVD/Blu Ray I will definitely buy it! Looking forward t seeing the final!

[@Animeplayer]

Oh hell yes! Plus, that's a good one that sums it up, 08th MS Team which I did like, especially when they included tanks and guerilla soldiers. I hope to see something like that included.

[@Brendan1259]

I have one word for you, Battletech

[@romanxpg5673]

sure got great talent there mate! nice details and animation!

[@ChristopherSloane]

Whatever happened to this? Just finding this now and man it would be great to see this.

[@ProducerMaki]

Still happening, new material this summer. Finishing the Monday film first which is in post production.

[@ArvexYT]

Looking forward to seeing more of this!

[@keithmckellar9913]

As someone who is waiting for armored Core 6 ,Daemon X Machina 2 and currently playing the Lancer tabletop game with friends this flim concept is awesome

[@silverlotus7790]

I'm in love with this old anime style

[@DCN2049]

Holy shit, I remember those mech concepts from way long ago on /m/. Had no idea that was you; those were some lovely creations.

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

love your style mate old school yet new very cool

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Damn, you've been diligent

[@stopmotiongarage220]

Based on your description it reminds me of battletech, if course you do a fantastic job of making this your own thing in its own right. Really look forward to it.

[@solitary2]

I can tell this will be well written.
