i really love this, amazing animation to one my favorite skateboarders ever, really captured his essence... amazing
Matt Box 4 months ago

Thanks , Glad you enjoyed it , My main concern was trying to capture Dill and make him recognisable through his style alone. Your comment hopefully means I achieved that. Cheers

Incredibly cool. How long did the whole process take?
Matt Box 4 months ago

It took like a week painting every night until the early hours,
It could have been quicker if i'd had more time during the day.
It's so hard to cut scenes out when you've spent time painting them but its really rewarding when people seem to enjoy them.

good stuff
ciaran 4 months ago

Fantastic. Now wait and see the requests roll in!!
Matt Box 4 months ago

haha , cheers , I took a look at your motion stuff and really enjoyed it , I really want to learn how to do motion graphics , I feel like it would really expand my work. Any tips on where to start?
Can I just ask where you found the video? I've got like 7,000 views today and can't work out where from
it's amazing , but i'm pretty confused
Josh 3 months ago

I would image that's because your animation was featured on the home page of SLAP magazine.
benjamin welch 4 months ago

hey, this is amazing..
so did you hand paint every frame using watercolour just from watching him skate in a video? or did you like print out a series of frames to get the perspective and everything to paint over?
i can see so much work went in to this! so good!
:)
Matt Box 4 months ago

Thanks dude, Yeah each shot is hand painted , I dug through loads of Dill footage , picked tricks I liked then went through them on a make-shift light box I built out of an old monitor. I found out this is called roto-scoping the other day , didn't know while I was doing it though.

couldn't have picked a better skater either, dill is the best
Matt Box 4 months ago

Hi Thanks, I really want to send it off to Dill's associates , I think he's pretty hard to track down , I bet he'll hate it but it would be cool to know he'd seen it.
Who else would you want to see acid drop'd ? I'm working on a dylan rieder one

Lalo Dominguez 4 months ago

REALLY great work, its really well done its also simple but still managed to capture dills skating style so its a perfect hand made work, capturing style on paint or pencil is super hard! but this is really great! congratulations from Guatemala!

If you're still curious about where all the views came from, I saw this on SLAP's website (slapmagazine.com/articles/videos/acid-drops-jason-dill) I'm sure it was posted in their forums too.

Matt Box 4 months ago

It's all water colour , I just changed the colour i was painting with every 3 or 4 frames and splashed a bit of the previous colour in as I went to get abit more of a transition.
