this is awesome! what programmes do you use to create these animations!?!?
Bryan O'Sullivan 1 year ago

Thanks!

The characters were animated in flash and then brought into after effects to be composited - backgrounds, blurs, lighting effects, camera moves, etc. were added.

The 16 bit platformer scene was achieved by animating in flash at 384 X 216 pixels and then scaling up the visuals in after effects to 1280 X 720, so everything looks all 'blocky'. Simple stuff really.

what a sight; what a scene 1 year ago

Very cute. If you have not already, I think you should do more with these characters. That video game portion was really well done, I thought.

They were really fun to animate, especially Pogo.

cuteness. :) I love Rian's voice.

Those characters remind me of 'Wind Waker' (I
have cat eyes) Zelda.

This is quite great! Hard to tell what age group this is intended for (which is a good thing). This is awesome for all ages.

Thanks dude!

Good show! I thought I would be bored by a mundane child cartoon, but it has elements that enjoyable for many ages. Kinda like Nickelodeon in the 90's (e.g. Invader Zim)

P.S. Who (and what) is that big pink rabbit-like thing. 'Cause it ate the flippin' houses! 0.o
Bryan O'Sullivan 1 year ago

Thanks!

That rabbit has an intersting origin, but that's for another day...

So cool!
I like the elevating car in the beginning.
Good for you...
Bryan O'Sullivan 1 year ago

Thanks.

Pogo can transform into other stuff too. But he likes being a car the best.

Awesome man. This made my day!
Bryan O'Sullivan 1 year ago

Thanks!
Steven Hale 1 year ago

This is great. Great imagination. Fun little gags like the race to the house, elevating car, etc.
You are destined for greatness!!!

May I ask: how long did it take you to complete this?
Bryan O'Sullivan 1 year ago

I started drawing rough concepts about this time last year. I'd say about 10% of what I originally thought up is in the finished film though. Then I did all the animation and compositing in three months from March to May.
