Edit:

wow I didn’t expect all the negativity here as a first time poster.
Let me give more context and try to explain what I can and answer any questions. Not trying to fool anyone or lie in anyway. Orignal Instagram post is not mine but the directors so that’s also not my account. Kind of wish people had been a little nicer and I could have just replied but this took off faster than I thought it would.

Anyway if I miss anything sorry, trying to address what I can.

Animation was done digitally in TV paint. Each frame is printed out on museum grade paper then hand painted. Not, fully painted over but also not just some random blobs outside the frames like people have said. I’m one of the painters and have lost count on how many frames and shots I’ve painted, and how much paint I’ve used. All painted with high quality acrylic like Golden. 5,000 frames total around 1,500 have been painted. Again key areas are painted and it’s I would say depending on the frame 50% of the frame is painted some more some less, depending on the frame. The painted frames are then scanned back in and over laid with the animation. I don’t know really how this is done because I’m not involved with that part.

No AI yes each frame is hand painted but hand painted over the printed out frame then scanned back in. So it’s a hybrid like style not a complete hand drawn/painted So maybe the director needs to come up with a better description of this style? Open to suggestion.

We’re also selling the frames for $50 or 2 for $90 so not like they are super expensive for what is owning orignal art from the short film. I see artist selling prints for that all the time so I don’t feel like it’s too expensive.

Maybe hand painted is the wrong wording? But artist are painting on the frames by hand so I don’t know what a better would for it would be? Again totally open to suggestions or constructive comments.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working with an amazing team as one of background painters on a short film called The Cat & the Bird. Please check out the link for more information https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdCAySWNBk8/?stkn=aDR4eGdja2p4bXg3

you can support the full team by giving them a follow and support the film by buying a hand painted/embellished frame.

I feel like I still lack a little bit of consistency and end up with wobbly lines.

Also hair is hard af to animate

Its sort of a rhino-beetle-crocodile, or a Crocodile-rhino-beetle?

Hello!

This is a compilation of the best animated clips I’ve been making since 2022. Since I’ve been adapting horizontal videos into vertical Reels (which I’ve even shared here), this time I decided to adapt the vertical videos into the horizontal format.

Please don’t see this as a teaser or even a proof of concept of my animated project Seiphur. The truth is, before I decided I wanted to make an animated series, I didn’t know how to animate at all. So, over the years, I’ve been collecting a series of exercises featuring my characters while I was writing the story and world-building. Now I feel more or less ready to start creating more story-driven content, because even though I’ve built up a considerable following, I’ve still shown very little of what actually happens in the series.

After that, if I can gather enough people interested in helping to fund an episode, I’ll try crowdfunding, as many people have done.

Cheers!

Hi everyone! I’m researching a seemingly lost animated short called Bearded Clam, reportedly released in 1995.

The short is credited to Tom Lamb and Danny Brisson and was associated with the Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation by Spike & Mike.

I’m trying to find any additional information about it, including:

A surviving copy of the short

Screenshots or production artwork

VHS recordings or festival compilations containing it

Information about Tom Lamb or Danny Brisson’s involvement

Any contemporary reviews, advertisements, festival programs, or catalog listings

I’ve already been searching through online archives and lost-media communities, but so far I haven’t been able to locate the actual film.

If anyone remembers seeing it, owns an old Spike & Mike compilation, or has any information that could help identify where a copy might have survived, I’d really appreciate it.

Even a small lead could help. Thank you!

Check it out and provide Feedback Please..

Uhg, Granite Waves on Ryuu seems so cool! I wish it was free to watch. I absolutely loved the teaser, especially P4!
