great job on this what kinda ink you use for the black outlines
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
This was a pretty fun one-off experiment, see if I can replicate the classic process of filming purely traditional animation instead of doing it all on the computer as usual.
Been wanting to do something like this for a while, but I didn't really allow myself much time to do it, so once my last semester's classes ended, I immediately hopped onto working on this project. (plus, it gave me an excuse to use nutty in a project once again)
It's a really quick one, but trust me, although it may not seem like much, a lot of time went into these three seconds. A whole month and a half, in fact.
some behind the scenes sketches and stuff:
poses (several unused ones in here)
a single finished frame:
same cel from behind:
the cels, drying
(three frames are missing, two of them were in my room, one of them was the 52nd frame that i had just finished painting):
the entire filming setup
(this took a few frustrating hours to put together, especially with the lighting, making sure my reflections don't show up):

well, i first drew the linework on paper with my Faber-Castell pens, tracing from the rough animation sketches, then i scanned the lineart from my copier directly onto the cels (in case i have to repaint a cel)
Great job! I like the loose animation, and the colors stand out perfectly from the background.
THIS IS SO COOL
Holy shit, this is absolutely amazing. I love that you went out of your way to do this but I can tell that it was from a place of pure passion. Don't get me wrong, I love digital hand made animation, but you just can't beat the OG traditional cel animation that started everything off.
Would love to see more stuff from you in the future!
How much did all that cost...!?
WELL... it wasn't cheap, i'll tell you that much, lol
