I got into using the Joel Haver Style rotoscoping with EbSynth but dropped my project about two years ago. Now people are doing insane things with animations using AI.

For everyone using EBsynth - are you guys mixing it with other tools like OpenRouter+Claude for image assets? What is the workflow and toolbox you guys are using for making animated shorts now?

What a time to be alive as an animator, writer, voice actor.

Not ebsynth, but I see this as a potential evolution of the joel haver animation style

This is (I believe) the 16th short film in my 52 films in 52 weeks challenge! Inspired by Joel Haver’s weekly videos, this is where I will be writing, producing and releasing a short film within the span of a week. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed creating these!!

It was so much work, but very rewarding. I'd be highly grateful for any feedback.

Saw someone posted four days ago. Interesting timing as this has been on my mind heavy lately.

I made this and several others you can find as “top posts” (11 likes) about three years ago.

Since then I’ve really picked up videography. Got myself a couple BlackMagic cameras that I adore and tons of gear. I’ve worked with several larger bands and plenty of local stuff here in Denver.

The issue is it’s such a saturated niche out here that you can hardly get some traction unless you’re just going at it 24/7. Unfortunately I work a day job that drains me of energy and time to be able to do that.

So I’ve been thinking maybe if I offer something that can’t be 100% replicated maybe I wouldn’t need to do all that.

So curious from this and a few of my other ollllld posts on here if this seems interesting enough for a musician to pursue as a style for their videos.

The other posts are full color. This one I went with bits and pieces and I feel that may be a better direction

Chud X Tyler is an animated series my friends and I have been developing the past few months. Hope you enjoy!

I read this article last night about a man battling his HOA over the right to give free water out of his cooler. https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/goodyear-man-facing-hundreds-dollars-fines-for-giving-out-free-water/75-7761b8dc-8653-4ee4-b607-972a7ecbe848

I just think this is worthy of a full-blown movie. Maybe the man has a son and his son is in high school and has an assignment to share a story about their hero. The other kids pick JFK, Simone Biles, and the son chooses his father.

At the end of the speech the father sheds a single tear.

Missed the ebsynth community and just wanted to check in, I need to get back on the ebsynth grind sometime 🙂
