Style frames for WIYULD https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌟" title="Leuchtender Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Leuchtender Stern">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ¦–" title="T-Rex" aria-label="Emoji: T-Rex">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌟" title="Leuchtender Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Leuchtender Stern">

Kinda thought this would be a good opportunity to show my work breakdown for projects like this. The first step is usually finding a look my client likes by giving them a few style frames to choose from ( #4 was the winner) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ’–" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">
Clients usually give me a rough idea of what they want and things they like. I try to incorporate those into designs that also complement my personal taste (we decided on smol Evann and I& #39;m glad. That was my favorite) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ₯°" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
Once we agree to a specific look, I move ahead to storyboarding/animatic (for this project from design to boards, it took a little over 1.5 weeks). For music videos boards, I take in ideas from the musician and add them to my interpretations of the lyrics https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✏" title="Bleistift" aria-label="Emoji: Bleistift">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”₯" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">
Once the boards are approved, it& #39;s time to animate https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ’ͺ" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps"> Here& #39;s a few of my favorite process loops and animation tests (I& #39;m a very lazy animator so if I can get away with transforming a character for eases, I& #39;ll do it haha)
This one is animated by the lovely Julie Kim ( http://www.juliebkim.com/ )">https://www.juliebkim.com/">... and was inspired by a viewing of the Breakfast Club lol https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ’ƒ" title="Woman dancing" aria-label="Emoji: Woman dancing">
Before I forget, here& #39;s the Vimeo link for the video https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="LΓ€chelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: LΓ€chelndes Gesicht"> https://vimeo.com/437062100 ">https://vimeo.com/437062100...
All those loops and tweenssss https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😏" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht">
(here& #39;s scene 1 without a camera pan down)

Water ripples animated by the lovely Julie Kim again https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ’–" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">
Here& #39;s the last scene (25) with the camera. By this point, it& #39;s been another 2.5 weeks so a total of 4 weeks now. I send in-progress versions to my client to make sure we& #39;re on track. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ¦•" title="Sauropode" aria-label="Emoji: Sauropode">
Since I hired a few friends to help me meet my deadline, I made a spread sheet of our shot breakdown. Take a peak into the madness of my mind lol https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”₯" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">
Once animation is done, time for final comp! Here& #39;s where all the magic of color, effects and any final notes come in. This usually takes me a week because render time from After Effects is a draggg (did I mention I animate everything in Flash? lol) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎞️" title="Filmstreifen" aria-label="Emoji: Filmstreifen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ’¦" title="Schweißtropfen" aria-label="Emoji: Schweißtropfen"> https://vimeo.com/441510085 ">https://vimeo.com/441510085...
By this point, the client is pretty happy and I send over the final renders/assets. I like to throw in a few fun stuff if I have time like trailers or promotional stills. Most importantly, I send in my invoice heh https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht">
(always remember to have a contract! and get paid!)
Overall, this specific music video took about 5 weeks. I& #39;m very thankful for my friends @RenegadeTokki and @EviPineschi for helping me out. I& #39;m honestly pretty proud of what we made and hope this thread helps out any animators out there https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ’–" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">
