Here's a small update to the short film animatic I shared earlier this year! Just a couple new shots and some adjusted timing from before I started working on the backgrounds. This short film technically doubles as a pilot for my TV series idea, Hoop-a-Joop, which you can read about on my art blog:

And while backgrounds are always my slowest part of a project, I can't wait til they're all done! I've been planning to make these very detailed so I can show them off eventually. Here's two low-res previews of the big camera pan in the opening-- between how large it is and the various animated elements it's hard to export it high-res right now. I taught myself how to make a fake lens flare and that background lighthouse light will be animated as well.

Al + Jim in "HOOP-A-JOOP" - A Short Film (Silent Rough Animatic) draft 3

Here's a short film project I've been developing between my freelance work! This is the animatic, which is the stage after storyboards that allows you to time out how the cartoon will look when fully animated. I'm planning to animate this mostly by myself at the moment, though it is going to have to remain a free time project for the time being. It doubles as a pilot to my TV series idea, Hoop-a-Joop, which you can read about on my art blog: https://thatsdisturbing.tumblr.com/tagged/hoopajoop This cartoon has really been a long time in the making and has been rethought several times since I was 12 years old, over 10 years ago! Here is last year's draft of this short film in storyboard form: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bf0ylj0ktuj7zr9/AAAULC9X1kgAJOZc_KyeAsDga?dl=0
