What's Wrong, Sudowoodo?

This was supposed to be a less intensive side project, but ended up snowballing into a rather involved & polished piece considering how short it is. I mean the 3D animation! The fully colored drawings! Makes for a "dense" or "rich" viewing experience but I really gotta learn how to pick my battles b/c spending ~20 hours drawing guys on a bench who're only on-screen for ~7 seconds ain't exactly what I'd call efficient haha.
It's okay though I got a lot of good things out of it that I'll probably talk about in a later timelapse video, so stay tuned for that...! The fact I'm pointing to the drawing as the hardest part is probs a good sign, means that I've finally gotten pretty comfortable w/ my video editing processes & software (though the best practices for audio polishing still elude me, will have to study up on that o_o)
As for the actual subject matter, 2 of my fav pastimes are animation & pondering video games/other things I enjoy. So in my eyes this video is right up my alley, though I'm a bit unsure of how it'll be received. It's definitely less educational/informational than my previous long-form vid, but if you learn a thing about penguins then heck yeah. Btw they CAN be attacked inland by things like petrels swooping down on them, but humans don't look/move enough like petrels for them to worry, so I didn't feel the need to put a disclaimer in the video proper. These are the kind of small corrections that make me miss YT annotations ;w;
Pacing-wise this was an interesting one to make b/c it's more comedy-focused. I mean I know my stuff usually is, but in this case I'm specifically talking about delivering multiple comedy bits over a length of time. Usually my animated skits center around 1 punchline. And my prev long-form vid was more focused on conveying info, so it had plenty of breathing room for jokes. Here there isn't as much hangtime, so I'm worried the editing style may have become too rambunctious or boisterous. Comedy comes from the unexpected, which leads to a lot of abrupt cuts, music, tone shifts etc. that I hope are spaced out enough to not be overwhelming ^^;
This was a rare time where I never got tired of hearing the same bits over & over while editing so I think it's probably fine, though. Could be a case of tunnel vision so I'll be keeping an eye out for feedback as always ;P

I think that they are just doubling-down on the charade but have learned to know when to BOOK IT. Like "Oh you see me? Whatcha gonna do about it, punk? I'm a freakin' tree! I am immovab- oh shit you are actually going to do something about it."

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Oh really good take, like their camo's good enough to fool most things in their habitat but for the smarter ones they essentially start a game of chicken lol

[@thatchillasian8924]

Sudowoodo evolved to have greater social anxiety over the years, just like me when I entered middle school.

[@fernoagent8581]

Sudowoodo is so me

[@ad-ui6ey]

Low quality zoomer behaviour

[@CaramelOnFire]

this is why it's my favorite pokemon

[@elitobin]

i love that sudowudo isnt grass type and that it really just does it for the bit

[@Josuh]

quite literally doing it for the vine

[@fernoagent8581]

Arbre

[@Nice_Structure_3034]

It’s stated in the Pokedex that sudowoodo is so bad at pretending to be a tree even children aren’t fool by them. But since everyone is scared of Pokémon in legends arceus they just don’t care about if they are good or not

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Ah yes I remember reading that! tbh the fact that Sudowoodo is obvious to humans but maybe not to other Pokemon species makes me wonder if there's a difference in their vision capabilities. A real life example would be tigers: our human eyes can see an orange tiger easily, but deer can't see the color orange so they have a harder time spotting them

[@thetallpancake]

instructions unclear, master ball broke as i threw it against an ordinary tree

[@TalkingNerdyWithCJ]

"Honey, wake up, ScribbleSpectors posted"

[@cheesenovel1249]

shedinja has the same deal but his entire model just bobs and jiggles around a little i love him

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Just looked it up & I love how there's a bit of uneven-ness in the way Shedinja wobbles while in the air. Packs in a surprising amount of personality & really distinguishes him from other floating 'mons like Magnemite :]

[@Verdego]

To tree, or not to tree, that is the question.

[@MillieTheSillie616]

despite being completely underwealming my the Ultra games actually have my favorite bit of sudowoodo lore, since its the first and only time we see trees that actually look like the tree mimicing pokemon

[@EPadraigM]

weird how you made a video about a bunch of perfectly normal trees...

[@BlueLeef]

Other pokemon who dont animate look goofy, but Sudowoodo just does it in style. BTW cool to see you throw in some 3d animation too!

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Ah thanks so much! And yeah compared to Rattata & Furret I didn't need to polish Sudowoodo's 3D animation at all for those exact reasons, he really does just move that stiffly haha

[@mayonaise0]

seems they evolved to be more anxious after everybody started chopping down all the trees

[@N0ISAAC17]

MY FAVOURITE POKÉMON THIS IS SO GOOD

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Ah nice! Sudowoodo is one of my sibling's favs too, & thank you ^^

[@mossasaur]

I love this so much, it makes sense they’d be more wary as time went on and more people were around to fight

[@danjilosamiento6572]

I also like how Voltorb’s and Electrode’s demeanors flipped overtime due to contact with humans.

[@thatonejester3387]

this felt like a fever dream keep it up

I never expected to encounter a deep (albeit short) analysis on Sudowoodo and its evolutionary progression across the ages, but here we are! Thanks for the quality content!

Man your videos are charming and full of passion and care. Thanks for another wonderful one!

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Ah gosh you're too kind, thank you that really means a lot!

[@menacingpyro2005]

This video reminds me of fact that papyrus has *no* idle animation in his fight in undertale, he has them everywhere else like in dating start, but in his fight against him he’s stiff as a board.

[@demonchromee9217]

he's completely still because he 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 want to fight you. the monsters who want you dead move a lot, and the ones who don't, don't.

[@menacingpyro2005]

@@demonchromee9217 I like to think that he DOES want to fight you, but he’s so confident in his abilities that he’s not even using his all.

[@sneakson4104]

The penguin bit took me by surprise 🤣🤣🤣 welcome back!!!!

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Yeah the penguins were def the most fun part to work on ^^ & thanks!

[@TheApoke]

So they're basically the Toys from Toy story? Living creatures who pretend to be a part of the environment :O

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Now that you mention it , they do both seem to have that understanding of when they're supposed to be "on" or "off" the clock, based on whether any humans are around. So yeah, more similar than I realized!

[@madnessarcade7447]

I love their run it so cartoony especially with sound effects

[@circuitrionjuliusbreaker9924]

Welcome back, ScribbleSpecters! Love your work, and hope to see more!

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Thanks so much! Still very busy learning 3D animation, but doing my best to work on vids when I can ^^

[@stride_sk]

Kinda the same for staravia, its jarring having them run away instead of them immediately going for my neck at any given chance

[@SilentEchoMedia]

The sudowudo were once lining up for some snacks… but then a trained with cut came along…

[@lorelaimorace-kk1xz]

HEY POOKIES WAKE UP SCRIBBLESPECTORS UPLOADED

[@teleportedgourd9347]

Fun fact: Hisui's Pokédex portrait depicts both of its arms as being down. Every other sprite or dex entry shows it with at least one of its arms up by default

[@sarad2487]

Sudowoodos just eventually evolved to be introverts, common knowledge.

[@largeproblem]

Sudowoodos really are my favorite Pokémon. I get the appeals of the Legendaries and the cuter ones but, as someone who doesn’t have too much hands-on experience with the franchise, the notion of these lanky guys just trying their best to be trees and doing so by posing half the time and fleeing when they fail is something I cherish

[@Skullhawk13]

Its mimicry is actually really smart. Grass is weak to poison, Flying, Fire, Bug, Ice. It resists water, Ground, Electric, and itself. Rock is resistant to fire bug and flying and weak to water ground and grass. So if you treat the clearly a tree as a grass type statistically you’re likely to choose a not very effective move. This to this day trips up unspoiled players

[@ScribbleSpecters]

That's very kind of you to say, thanks so much!

[@taylorwright7428]

I find it funny that this video got recommended to me because I caught a random shiny Sudowoodo 2 days ago! I ran into him so fast on Miraidon that he didn't get a chance to run away, but since he was in an fall-theme area, I don't know if I would've noticed him if it weren't for other Sudowoodo around. (Also, one of his attack animations has him do a little turn and jazz hands, or jazz branches I guess, and it's adorable, it looks like he's dancing!)

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Congrats on the shiny catch! I didn't know shiny Sudowoodo has autumn colors that's such a good touch, & the jazz hands are too cute omg ;o;

[@taylorwright7428]

@@ScribbleSpecters Thank you! I love him a lot already, the animations show so much personality! It's only 2 so far including Sudowoodo, but I've also been getting shiniest faster in Violet than in any other Pokémon game I've played, and I'm pretty surprised, lol.

[@ScribbleSpecters]

Did you mean the penguin scene? If so I have it listed in the video description as the title/main theme from the game Monty on the Run. Keep in mind that it's kind of a long song, so the specific snippet I used doesn't play right away ^^;
