what type of animation technique is that? what's it called so that I can research how to do it myself? i love the video.. great stuff
Molasses Murphy 2 years ago

Thanks Jarrod! It's pencil animation for the girl and the scenes outside the treehouse at night and walking to the jam session. Pencil on paper photographed with a digital camera. The rest is digital cutout animation. Lots of drawn pieces of the characters scanned in, edited in Photoshop and then animated in After Effects. The cameras & compositing are done in that software too. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

This is really beautiful! I find the narration a bit slow though... But I don't know if it's not a style that would miss if it wasn't this way... Anyway, I love the end, the music is excellent, the character design is so cute and the backgrounds so stylish :o)
Bravo!
Molasses Murphy 2 years ago

Thanks Rob! We were trying to make it as slow as possible so glad you found it only a bit too slow. :D
Rob Mayol 2 years ago

Hehe so it was intended. We hurry a bit too much that's for sure!

By the way, congrats for replying all the comments, not everybody still do it after more than 7000 views ;)

Love it. Did you have to 'cut out' all the frames of the scanned in animations before you composited in AE? Just wondered how you did it...Anyway, fabulous film.
Molasses Murphy 1 year ago

Thanks! I'm assuming you're asking about the alphachannel process. If so, yes and we used Photoshop for that part. Here's a tut on that: bit.ly/cF2Nyi
Bluegnu 1 year ago

Thanks...I sort of guessed that part, but I was wondering if you found a clever way of batching all those individual scanned drawings so they were masked, or whether you had to do each one individually...of that makes sense?!? Seems like a lot of work!
Molasses Murphy 1 year ago

I've tried but have never been able to save time by batching. So ya, a lot of tedious work to get them ready for compositing.

I'm sure there's a clever solution waiting to be found though. All depends on what your final line looks like.

Where can I get the OST?
Molasses Murphy 1 year ago

Thanks Owen!

Serious? Wasn't part of our deal with Allan and he never released the song on its own. You'll have to rip it somehow I guess. He records under the name Zapato Negro if you want to check out more of his work.
Owen Andrade 1 year ago

Hell yeah I'm serious! That song was golden. I just found their website, thanks.

If you ever need a sound designer... :)
