Monsters Amongst Us

[@RoseRed9]

Bravo! 👏 This is by far the best work you've done! Really looking forward to the other things you have simmering in your brain for us! 😊

@@RoseRed9 thanks Rose. Even when it looks like I'm not active I am still beavering around in the background working on stuff. I think my stuff is getting a bit more involved and technical, definitely getting longer, lol. Although with this it also takes longer to do. I love the bit at the end of this animation with the reflection in the mirror and the old lady, a sequence like this wouldn't have been possible with the tech available a few weeks ago but the Chinese have stepped in around 3 weeks ago with Kling and Minimax, now all bets are off, anything is possible, the main sticking point now is the animators ability to tell a story, so rather than tech being the issue it's the brain that is letting animators down. You can either dream it a good story or you can't. Thanks for hanging around while I create strange stories...

[@francolli]

@@RoseRed9 my brain is always simmering on the back burner of the oven lol

The Story is Epic, Great Work Sir.

[@francolli]

@@Space_Logic I always wanted to do a story where the narrator of the story turned out to be the monster, lol. Thanks. Glad you liked it

@@matthewdudael1931 thanks Matthew. While you were going about your daily life the animation world had a revolution .Minimax, kling, lumalabs, updates in hedra, lip sync advances at kling, live portrait, and many others all in the last 2 months, some in the last 3 weeks. I started this animation without knowing where to go with it. Tech advanced out of sight while I was making it, so the end with the old lady is done with lip synch and animation technique only available in the last 3 weeks. Something always advances while I'm making something that allows to end the story I constantly have around 5 part finished animations open on my laptop that are all waiting for new advances to let me continue or end them

@@francolli Once upon a time a new technology came along every 60 thousand years . Then 6000 years . Then 600 years. Then 60 years . Then it was 6 years . Then 6 months . Then 6 weeks . Then 6 days . Tomorrow it'll be 6 hours . Then 6 minutes . Then 60 seconds

@@matthewdudael1931 Definitely every 60 minutes at the moment. My head hurts with it all

​@@francolliwieso ? Ich finde es gut wenn die Entwicklung so schnell geht, dann kann ich noch einiges erleben, bevor ich leider gehen muss, nicht will.

@@udolehmann5432 Things are moving quickly in animation and moving rapidly with the you tube channel as well, just to keep you updated I haven't been as active recently as things are moving really quickly, first I won second prize in an animation contest a week or so ago which injected funds into this channel, then I had an enquiry to buy the rights to the 'Opus' animation on this channel which I agreed to (which added more funds) then I agreed to two more commissions which I am working on behind the scenes as well as two other commissioned animations I made three months ago. I never intended this channel to pull in any funds from anywhere but things have moved really quickly. The prize winning animation is a product advert which I will post here at some point. I also have three other animations almost complete for this channel, two full motion movie vids and an animated sketch thing. I'm also working on a zombie invasion movie with myself as one of the actors...So much going on, I'm dizzy!

[@_hellohooray]

This was really great, nice job Francolli!!!

[@francolli]

@@_hellohooray glad you liked it. I'm really inspired that you guys stick around waiting for my next outburst of weirdness. Tech in animation is just exploding right now. Every day it seems something else appears giving me the ability to do new stuff. It's really frustrating though that something I did only weeks ago could now be done so much better with new advances. My brain is moving just as quickly to keep up with it all but my ideas sometimes are weird enough even to embrace the changes and new advances that haven't happened yet. The mirror scene at the end of this animation is done with a technique only days old, so whatever new tech comes along I want you guys to see it first

[@_hellohooray]

I thought the little girl was going to show herself in mirror 👀 anyhow, it was GREAT. more! more! more! 🤩

[@francolli]

@@_hellohooray I could have gone on following the girl until she became the old woman as well. I never thought of having the girl in the reflection, although I did do one with the cave beast in the reflection but rejected the idea as it didn't look right to me, lol

[@AtleBerven]

Wow! This is just brilliant, mister Francolli. I guess you worked on this for a while.

[@francolli]

@@AtleBerven it was one of those I had half finished for a while that was waiting around for technology to advance. That's been my thing all along, the animation tools advance at such a fast pace I can start something with an idea that it isn't possible to animate as I know in a few weeks something will advance to let me complete it with the weird idea I had at the start. I probably have enough tech to do an entire movie now at full real life video quality. Me being me I have already started that weeks ago that was waiting for advances so I can now get cracking with that one too as I promised a subscriber I would do something inspirational

[@AtleBerven]

@@francolli First of all. I am deeply impressed when I watch your work. The storyline, the characters, the tempo and also the way it is all presented is so well figuered out. Kudos to you, my friend. And second. I have been trying to keep up with som of the stuff that is evolving in the world of AI.....and I have already lost track 😛 It is all happening so fast.

[@udolehmann5432]

❤❤❤❤❤ Super, nur 2, 3 kleine Fehler in der Animation wenn man ganz genau hinschaut, eine tolle Arbeit 🫵👀👍

[@francolli]

@@udolehmann5432 thanks Udo. I'll get subtitles in German added to this over the next couple of days. I hate to leave subscribers out just because of a language issue. The world of animation exploded over the last 3 weeks with the introduction of minimax and kling. Now the only barrier is the human imagination. Now with the new tools if I can imagine it I can animate it

[@francolli]

Subtitles are now up and running Udo!
