The 3D artist’s name is Nora Zerczy, and she told me she doesn’t have socials at the moment! Just absolutely stunning work πŸ’–

REPOSTING BECAUSE I MISSPOKE!!! The bg WAS 3D and it was just so good I didn’t realize!! I placed the layers in the shot but the bg and bg cam move were built in 3D. The artist’s name is Nora, I’ll update again when I find their username!!

All in all this shot was a huge team effort!! I wish I could share it in all its various stages but for now I cannot.
I also did walk cycles for nearly every character the past two seasons that I would love to share someday!! Maybe if we do more behind the scenes stuff??

I think I ran into the most technical issues here more than any shot I’ve ever worked on. The file was massive and there’s a lot going on with those gorgeous fx loops ✨ Thank you @colten-seamans.com @logoblockz.bsky.social and @caroropaez.bsky.social for figuring that out with me!!!

The shot then came back to me for final polish, and some secondary movements, like hair and Val’s wings. The shot came back to me again after clean up was done (HUGE SHOUTOUT TO CU πŸ’–) to help place the fx loops and bg layers.

It took a long time to make it work. Lots of adjusting and re-adjusting the pegs. I did the keys / breakdowns, and started IBs, Charlie in particular. Then I was needed elsewhere and they handed the shot to another animator for IBs! I’m currently trying to find out who, when I do I will credit here!

This is it… the biggest spinny shot I’ve ever worked on!!!
There was NO 3D involved in the character animation!! I created the camera move by placing the characters on pegs. I was so excited when they assigned this to me, I love a challenge >:)

Not only did I storyboard Vox Populi, I animated this fun shot, too! Everything is hand drawn from scratch, no 3D elements were used. Lots and lots of arcs (*κ’¦ΰΊ΄κ’³κ’¦ΰΊ΅)

It's time for more boarding talk! So I had the pleasure of storyboarding the song Love in a Bottle for Hazbin Hotel! Firstly, it was a total honor to get to storyboard something for a song sung by Keith David. The man has SUCH a killer voice. Bucket list item for sure haha.
