The Animators Challenge - Episode 2

This is the second episode of the animators challenge. A video series where I am challenged to create a short animation based on a provided soundscape.
The soundscape in this video was custom-designed for our channel and animation challenge. You're welcome to use the audio from our videos in your animation entries for this challenge. However, please don't extract or redistribute the audio separately from your challenge entry.

I pictured an old-fashioned setting in a park with a lady talking to a man by the bench early in the moorning, maybe people walking around blurred in the background, then a carriage comes in, and the driver puts the man's luggage into the back of carriage.

i feel like ryan made this as hard as physically possible😂, love the content btw❣

[@OlofStorm]

He did give me a challenge for sure! But I loved the sound and the directions I could take it!

[@stache_obj]

god i love your style olof. these challenges are so fun. keep em coming please!

[@HelenaPapageorgiou]

Olof, you have done it again. Your approach to 2D/ 3D in the most artistically freeing way for the imagination is so inspiring. Really beautiful as always. Patreon, here I come ^_^

[@OlofStorm]

Thank you so much 😊😊😊

[@TheMotionComic.]

Good use of Cinema 4D 👍

[@TheNadir1983]

Yay! New Olof Storm video!!!

[@CreativeProductionsstopmotion]

It was very interesting too see what your workfield is to combine 2D with 3D. The result is a beautiful piece of art.

[@cosmosmythos]

your videos give me a lot of energy Olof! thanks!!

[@jaytoons6845]

Congratulations on this challenge this is your most magical piece in my opinion

[@hotstreamteam]

Amazing! As always! Сильно вдохновляешь! Спасибо!

[@EdwinSchaap]

Awesome. That crystal is spot on what it sounds like😊 subscribed!

[@Perrinb]

Maybe for episode 3, we can join in on the fun and the challange! release the sound beforehand and after show what you made and the audience made :)

[@OlofStorm]

@@Perrinb yeah thats a very good idea. If it gets a popular thing I will for sure do that. 👍

[@tagoey]

You've always been my inspiration

[@KrishnaKaipa]

Amazing man. Thank you for sharing..

[@alienking8050]

this is insaneeee

[@agyabcg1999]

i really enjoyed every bit of it 😮😮.... the whole city is just looking so stunning

[@ThomasPrz]

Thank you, Olof, for this very interesting video about BTS and also for sharing your tips and tricks. As a beginner, I would like to know why create a decor in digital painting and then make a 3D projection on Cinema 4D, instead of doing a 3D blocking directly and drawing over it, or simply leaving the 3D blocking in the background? Secondly, if you were to start over at the beginning of your career, how would you organize your learning of drawing and 3D? Mostly observational drawing or 3D? Thank you very much. As a beginner, I don't know if these questions are relevant, but it piques my curiosity.

It's giving me Westworld Vibes! Love it ❤

[@patizzcreations9928]

Hottt🔥🔥🔥😮‍💨

[@CleysonCafe]

Amazing vídeo! Só much knowledge

[@dollarproduction24]

Incredible. I wish I could make this kinda retro animations ❤❤

[@nixantcreatives]

I honestly thought of a jail scene, like inmate being brought in some dystopian jail

[@OlofStorm]

@@nixantcreatives oh that would have a dark twist to it!

[@thomaspaul5244]

This is amazing I was actually thinking the character should be walking towards the inside of the city as the crystal is welcoming them I'm a 3d artist actually

[@OlofStorm]

@@thomaspaul5244 thanks! Yeah I imagine the welcome message is for us (the camera) as we enter. :)

[@ojujupapa]

Awesome work as usual Olof, you keep inspiring me. I pictured a spaceport with people coming to board a spaceship and the futuristic voice being the PA voice. the creature walking would not necessarily be a horse but a hybrid creature....... Great work sir.

[@OlofStorm]

@@ojujupapa that would be cool! I was considering a scenario too where it was set in a more sci-fi setting.

[@Tiya802]

🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@jaytoons6845]

Do you ever plan on making another show reel?

[@chizyapochiponda1602]

You started a challenge? Awesome!!! How can people interested join in?

[@animatic-boi]

When i animate something I don't know why i get tired and demotivate very quickly. Please tell me how to animation with motivation and don't get bored angry demotivate. Btw i saw your work on instagram i love your animation style ❤

[@hazezard2936]

Amazing works! A fellow animator here. I love how you mix 2d and 3d element into your scene which I think made the process more efficient. If you don't mind sharing, how long does it take for your to finish from scrapping ideas, to sketch and to final product? Keep up the good work.

[@andyboyle2615]

Wonderful content - inspiring as always.

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks a lot!

[@sabyaislive]

This animation video is really cool. I’m wondering what software was used to make it.

[@OlofStorm]

@@sabyaislive i used Photoshop, Cinema 4d and after effect

[@user-uk5rj8db6y]

Sir can I call you I I want to learn animation but I am confused which course I choose🙏

[@wangpenguin7526]

same here

[@Advancedrookie]

Animation is all about self learning. There are a lot of free materials out there to get you started like free pdf books. You can also start by practicing the 12 principles

[@MustafaO.Artisan]

@@Advancedrookie People learn differently and at the start it can bit to much for anyone who's new at it, having some kind of a mentor or instructor can help to easy into it. At some point yes, you have to learn by yourself but that's more of down the line. Of course, everyone is different, and there are always exceptions.

[@MustafaO.Artisan]

For learning 2D animation, there is the book The Animator's Survival Kit, Aaron Blaise's website "Creature Art Teacher," and Marco Bucci on KZbin. His videos are very educational and well done. Of course, there are many other resources, and we all learn differently. If you are more of an in-person learner, I would recommend looking up possible workshops near you or classes at your local community college. If not, Zoom classes or similar options are usually the closest thing you'll get to in-person learning if you're living somewhere far in the countryside.

[@MustafaO.Artisan]

P.S. keep in mind that this is life learning process, so don't try to rush through it, and personally I think project based learning is great way to go about it.
