Get the moon. Animatic for animation short

Hello folks!

Here is my old project. I was trying to make an animation short based on a comic strip. The main task is to do everything right. That is to use a standard pipeline for animation production. To avoid the chaos and mess that I usually create. In general it almost got done. The main point is that I spent very little effort and little time, I didn’t get confused in anything. If I sum up all the time spent, I’ll get something about a week or two. However these weeks are divided into several parts and there is a several years between those parts.

However I don’t lose a hope to finish this project someday. Besides all the sources are intact and organized preaty well. But now the animatic is ready: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c09QcAYaGM (eng subs included)

Hi folks!!!
I’ve had a bad cold a while ago, and if that happens and I can’t my job properly, I thought I’d take my old project a little further. Especially since now with the help of neural networks, I’ve made cool backgrounds from old pencil sketches.
Only two shots ( of the nine) for 17 seconds of animation, but this already looks to be in final quality. Or as close to it as possible.

Some day I’ll finish it! And now I know how to.

Hey folks! It’s me again.

Got some news. I finally finished that short film. And back in November of last year, I actually completed the final edit! Yeah, um, I know it might seem like I’ve confused news with a fine wine and let it age a little too well. But the video still isn’t ready for its grand premiere, all because I haven’t made the credits. Not the kind I want, anyway—I was aiming for something original, not just a bunch of boring white text.

Nevertheless, I’ve put together a video showcasing all four stages of production, and you can watch it right now!

  1. Animatic based on comic panels (2016)

  2. Frames from a hand-drawn rough storyboard (2018)

  3. Clean animatic with final character designs (2018-2023)

  4. Final version with vectorized character models and AI-generated backgrounds (2024)

The entire short is based on a ponified version of a “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” comic
