Weekly Progress #39 (Patreon)

This Week's Completed Projects
So I completed the “It Came From Tumblr 10” video. Not really a lot to comment on other than the fact that I used one particular song from Persona 3 in the video. With that said, the video will come out late August since I will be taking a 3 week break around that time.

The main focus of my week was finishing the Channel Origins video. I have no idea why, but I really wanted to finish this video first since I feel like I need to tell my story of how I got into animating. This video is done in a vastly different style from my previous ones as it is, perhaps, one of the most emotional videos I've ever done as it talks about some uncomfortable stuff in my life. I released the video for all Patrons a few days ago, so if you haven't seen it, you can watch it here.   It will be released on the channel on June 4th. 

This Week's Ongoing Projects
I finally got the necessary lines for not only the Eromanga Sensei parody, but also for the Monster Musume parody for which I wrote the script weeks ago. Based on the lengths of the video, I will tackle the Monster Musume video first since it's the shortest of the two. Since I'm getting tired of using SFM's Suburia map for everything, I decided to do a scene build for this. Like the Kizuna Ai video, the scene build for this was rather complicated. I did manage to cut out some stress from the scene build by putting everything I need in one map. I also...underestimated how long Miia's tail is and had to put that into consideration for the scene build. Despite the fact that the interior of the house looks...terrible once I zoom out, it actually turned out nicely when I zoomed in. Here are a couple screenshots from the scenebuild.

The final thing I worked on this week was an ad for the t-shirts I'm selling in June. I'm thinking of doing two ads: one for when the shirts come out and the other for when there are only 3 days left for the shirts. Anyway, I started to work on the first ad featuring Kanna. What's interesting about this ad is that I had to animate a “gun reloading” animation from scrap, which is not an easy thing to do. Regardless, after looking at a few references, I think it turned out nicely. I just have to animate the “fan” in the video and the final scene in the ad and then it's golden. Though I am still waiting on the narrator's lines as she has jury duty at the moment. Anyway, here's a gif from the animation.

This Week's New Ideas
Two new Jojo parody ideas this week. Both ideas are Part 2 ideas since Sun from Discord gave me Eyes of Heaven Joseph Joestar. One idea I have is to kinda poke fun of Joseph's tendency of causing plane crashes by having him fly on United Airlines. Of course...it doesn't go well. The other idea is to have Joseph trying to convince Strohelm to leave Nazi Germany. The video will poke fun of Nazi Germany, Joseph, and...again, Joseph's tendency for crashing planes. To be honest, I'm kinda of leaning towards the Strohelm video as I think I can make it satirical like the Evangelion video.

Anyway, that's about it, you guys! Thanks for reading and your support!
