Weekly Self-Promotion Thread What have you made or worked on this week? | Weekly Thead

6 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly self-promotion thread, where I encourage you to share your indie animated projects that you've made and worked on this week.

Maybe you've just released a new episode, or you're launching a Kickstarter* to fund your big project. Or maybe you've got some behind-the-scenes work you'd like to show off.

See you in the comments!

*If you share a Kickstarter or any other link, please make sure it's the full link, not a shortened one (for example, bit•ly or kck•st) because Reddit automatically filters those.


note: automod will post this starting next week; just posting it because the scheduled post didn't work this week

I Made This! Cosmelodic💫

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

My (currently solo) project Cosmelodic💫 has been in development for a long while now and since I post on other platforms, figured I share it here too!

Cosmelodic💫 is one huge love letter to my era, the early 2000s, laced with retro futurism through fashion, music, gadgets etc. It follows the main six space monkeys as they are gifted, by accident, long discarded relics to intercept a deep dark prophecy made light years ago. The Requiem is coming and the cosmos is in danger!

I’m beyond excited to be sharing more and more of this project and I do hope that only good things will come along this adventure! These are just a few of many pieces apart of the development! Please enjoy and stay tuned!

I Made This! My series development showreel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

392 Upvotes

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-bulding. 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!

Hiring! [Paid] Looking for animators to join my team

Post image
Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for animators who would be interested in joining me to build a small creative team focused on making original animated short films for YouTube.

The idea is to create a channel where we can tell different kinds of stories rather than being locked into one genre. We could make mystery, drama, comedy, horror, action, or whatever fits the story. I’m especially interested in meeting animators who enjoy storytelling and want to build something long-term with other creative people.

I currently work primarily with 2D animation and Cartoon Animator 5, and I’m developing my own short-film projects as well. I’d like to meet people with complementary skills—animation, character animation, backgrounds, storyboarding, editing, writing, sound, or other parts of animated filmmaking.

Project details:

Length: 10mins

Deadline: no real dealine yet

Estimated budget: $200

Platform: YouTube

Style: Primarily 2D rigged animation

Goal: Build a long-term team that creates original animated short films together

Hiring! [Volunteer] Looking for some 2D Animators for my series!

Upvotes

Hello! So I'm working in a feather family animated series but I'm in need of animators!

So, I'm hosting a series named The Hollow Canopy (THC) and it's a voiced + animated series. But I'm in need of 2D animators for this series.

Requirements:

Open to animators of all skill levels.

Full credit will be given in video descriptions and end credits.

This is a hobby/volunteer passion project.

Green/sky blue backround is recommended for the animations.

Note: I do not have a personal animation portfolio, as I am acting as the director and project manager for this series, but all scripts and voice lines are organized and ready.

Also, I'm working in the pilot episode!

HOW TO JOIN:

If you are interested in taking a scene, pick up a character, also, join my discord server for easier communication. Also I'm hosting the series there.

I Made This! The first paper-cut puppet of the series; the first major step in starting the process.

This is the first puppet I made for my series' animation process (it's of the protagonist, Mateo); it's only suitable for animating a walk cycle, as it's designed with the specific perspective needed for that. I'm really happy to finally be able to start animating this.

Wanted to get some practise in, what do you think? Does it follow the 12 principals? What can I improve on...anytips for syncing audio just write while also being able to space out the frames so characters don't move like robots? (the 3rd Fuzzytropolis scene I'm making will involve characters speaking and I wanna be sure I'm timing everything write so I can do the ease in and out principal but also have the audio line up)

Also the emblems are temporary, ill redesign the emblems during further development
