A new animation! This is the first time in a very long time I've released two animations in the same month. Last time I was this productive was in 2007 when I would release a new animation every few weeks.
While I was animating Your Bones I started a stick figure animation and another Bill Burr video. I decided I wanted to make a video where I wrote everything from the ground up rather than use another persons material but still do it in the stick figure/Bill Burr style. That was the initial springboard for The Push Up Challenge video. I also wanted to try making a "swoozie" style video which is basically just telling a story with simple animation.
My writing process was simple. I wrote a two page monologue. Deleted 95% of what I wrote and then expanded upon the remaining 5%. I started animating before I finished the script. My original idea was to have the movie be a series of still frames but I decided to animate it.
I also wrote the music for this video but it was necessarily composed for this video. For a few months now I've just been composing a lot of short songs(about 10 a week) trying to convey different moods and emotions. I'm trying to build a library of my own background music that I can use without having to worry about copyright. I can also freely edit the music. For The Push Up Challenge I took two of the songs and expanded them. If enough people want I'd actually put the music online for other people to use as long as they credit me.

ReplyDeleteAre you working for any studio Mr. Ziller? If not, I think the studios are stupid not employing you. I think you are a very talented animator!
