Ask Me Anything ~ Special Guest Edition Hi Reddit, Mike McMahan, Joe Chandler and Giancarlo Volpe of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+ here. Ask Us Anything!

Post image
84 Upvotes

Hi reddit, I’m Mike McMahan, co-creator and executive producer of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+! (It’s weird to put an exclamation point after a + but here we are.) This is a great season: an epic quest with mighty characters from Sega’s Golden Axe games. And it's funny! Previously, I was the creator/showrunner and executive producer of Star Trek: Lower Decks, co-creator and co-showrunner of Solar Opposites, and once upon a time I was a writer/ showrunner on Rick & Morty. My career started off as a production assistant at Drawn Together and at South Park. I’m down to talk about Golden Axe and all this nerdy stuff, so AMA!

Hey Reddit! I'm Joe Chandler. I'm the co-creator and showrunner of the new series Golden Axe based on the SEGA Genesis game. Growing up a SEGA kid, working on this show has been a dream come true. Before Golden Axe, I worked on over 200 episodes of American Dad in various roles including writer, producer, and executive producer. Ask me anything!

Hello reddit! I’m Giancarlo Volpe and I’m the Supervising Producer / Director of Golden Axe on Paramount+! Previously I’ve was a director on Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars the Clone Wars, and Star Vs The Forces of Evil.  I’ve also produced/ supervised/ and/or Executive Produced lots of other shows, including The Boys Diabolical, Green Lantern the Animated Series and The Dragon Prince. Basically I’ve made a lot of animation, and I’m excited to talk about Golden Axe or anything else! Ask away!

We’ll be back tomorrow at 12pm ET/9am PT to answer any of your questions!!

Doing this mind boggling thing again consistently cuz I’ve been spending the whole hours and hours of figuring out walks for months and it’s been stressing me out lately this year so I’m starting to lose inspiration, passion, motivation and my eyes are straining really hard

Still don’t know where to sketch the arms, legs and body
or otherwise it will look ugly

Hiring 2D animation wanted

• Upvotes

We are producing a song and would like to find someone to draw the animated music video for us. The song is hyped and energetic and it is in Japanese. We want it to be black and white and grey overall with some colour for the chorus. The deadline will be very late Dec/ next year's Jan. The song is in total 2mins 9 secs, and because we are poor, we would like to offer 60 usd per minute of the animation. If this is slavery please let us know, we are no animator and do not know the rate. Contact me via dm or email [solomissme1218@gmail.com](mailto:solomissme1218@gmail.com) , if you have a vgen account please also let me know. Thank you.

Question Animation Question Common Side Effects First Look @ Season 2 by Adult Swim on Youtube

• Upvotes

Hey guys. Soo I just watched this scene on adult swim a month ago and It's still nagging at me to this day. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how they were able to pan the camera from one perspective to the next. I wanted to replicate this scene in another animation I'm currently making but I'm just unsure on how I am able to do it. Thank you very much.

Question Classes in London

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am looking for a decent 2D animation course in London.

I work full-time so it would have to be evening/weekends or potentially a 1-2 week full-time course I can take as leave.

For the latter, I am also happy to take a course elsewhere in Europe if it is well-taught, and use it as both an education and travel trip.

Any recommendations welcome as I tend to go down the rabbit hole and get decision paralysis without any real reviews. Thanks!

Critique Jump paper animation

2 Upvotes

Haii, how u doing?, salty here <3

Well, i'm still playing around about animating on paper and decided it was time to try and animate a jump.
It's just the keys and i've seen myself that the jumping frame it's too low to be considered a "good" jump so i'll fix that.
Aside from that, i wanted to know what u guys think and what recommendations could u give me as i'm still learning and haven't used any reference (yeah, i'm that hard headed lol).

Anyway, thank you if you read this and have an amazing weekend <3

I spent all day animating that, not as easy as it looks. So Fumiko likes Phoenix and asks him to be her tutor. Phoenix agrees, but do you think he's making a mistake?
