Bits And Pieces From A Cancelled Music Video

bits and pieces from a cancelled music video

Hello cool friends, inside of the computer! My music video for DJ Mustard, Nicki Minaj and Jeremih is now out on YouTube, so you can watch it if you like doing that (I hope you do!)

I drew a tiny man; I don't know who he is but he's here now and I wish he would leave.

Just watched S1 E3 of Party Legends on VICELAND. And the animation style shown for Ryan Sickler's thing looked like your work. Was it?

Yes!

do you get payed for your animations or are you just rich enough to make them just because you want to?

I get paid for commercial animations, so any music videos, TV segments, advertisements, game cinematics and the like. I then withdraw all of that money and burn it in an iron stove, to keep me alive during the winter months as I make my personal work in an isolated mountain cabin.

i want to animate. ijust ordered a light box. i have no idea what im doing. thoughts?

Good. If you learn animation in an academic context, it's often taught with a lot of arbitrary dos and don'ts that are a hangover from old industry methods. More concerned with teaching formulas than helping you cultivate a genuine understanding.Familiarising yourself with the medium and experimenting with it before anyone else has influenced the way you approach it, will harbour an uninhibited relationship with what you're doing, and you'll develop working methods that are informed by your current creative processes.Missing out that step is like giving an anatomy book to a child that's never drawn before. That would be a weird. Just give the kid some art supplies and let them figure themselves out, then when they're older they'll know if an anatomy book is right for them, or if they work with a completely different set of values and processes.So get that light box and don't worry about the 'right' way to do things. just Play around with it, see what happens, and if you like the way something looks then roll with it. Good luck!
