To celebrate the best time of the year, I did a xmas themed animation with talking gifts.
If Gifts Could Talk:youtube.com/watch?v=p5Bw_wRG5Jc
(I think I should warn you that, despite the visuals, the animations is kinda… violent)
This animation belongs to my series, Not Safe!, which I have posted before on this forum.
I tried to take more care with this animation than the ones I posted on the past. I reduced the brightness on the background of the scenes so the characters received the focus. I used “Alpha Over” to create the shadows and Time Loop to animated the christmas lights.
I understand that. I am not a fan of violence too, but I think that it depends on the context. On my animation, I used it to create a rather absurd scene, contrasting the cute gifts with unexpected violence, creating some sort of antithesis. The intension was not to create free violence.
But when the violence is extreme I don’t like it anywhere (except in games, maybe). Things like gore and torture are hard to watch for me and don’t cause good feelings.
I thought about it, but there is many responsibilities that come with crowdfunding, and I don’t have the abilities to handle them.
One of these responsibilities is the rewards for the supporters. I don’t think I will be able to provide them. And then, there is a “pressure” to make something successful; what if I obtain the money but then the result is unsatisfactory? It would be disastrous, and the money from the supporters would be wasted.
My planning is to make a first season and see if “it works”. Then, I will feel more comfortable to use crowdfunding to make a second season.
