The Mind Electric - A Vampires SMP animatic

Instructions

!!!BL00D/MINOR G0RE!!! !!!MAJOR SPOILERS UP TO EP 5!!! (Also, this was coded on an ipad and might not be super in time with other stuff, because the only other thing I'd have to code is unfortunately a very slow computer that would've been even worse) Hello all! I am very proud to present to you The Mind Electric, an animatic for Vampires SMP :D I started this shortly after episode 5 and persisted in finishing this through the sheer power of hyperfixtation. Have fun. More thoughts/notes on the process are detailed below! ------------------------------------ This was SUCH a blast to make aghshhhhhhhh,,,, I really went out of my comfort zone with some of the scenic shots, because I am NOT a backgrounds person. AT ALL. Despite all that, I think they turned out really good!!! Every vsmp member appears in here at least once, I think everyone shows up twice or more though. I'm not happy with how many of Abolish's frames came out (I'm sorry dude TvT) but on the other hand I absolutely ADORE stage 3 Shelby, as well as all the times I got to draw Avid, Drift, and Scott. They were all a blast. I also had a lot of fun with the bl00d- drawing Avid's scratch and Apo's bite mark were both really fun. The bite mark especially, the frames of Scott's bl00dy mouth paired with the bite were really fun to do for me. I forgot Avid's quiver in like, half the shots he was in, and had to add it in later- I don't even think I got all of them. Sorry guys, I was mostly doing his design in particular from memory and I always underestimate how much I forget to add every time. It's gone during most of his confrontation with Shelby and appears back in the town meeting afterwards lol. whoopsies (I'd say he didn't bring it BUT it's in the frame where he shows her his scratch... continuity errors how I h8 you) Special thanks to my wonderful buddy Floor for pulling the stage 3 skin refs for me. thank you so much I would've been absolutely cooked without them Figuring out how people would look at different stages was fun for me. I wanted to make them have claws at stage 3 but kinda forgot. I'm happy with the stage 1 eyes though, the subtle pupil and red dash are kewl :3 There are more small details in here as well, I hope someone notices how the bl00d stains are placed on the vamps in that one lineup shot because if you do I will be very happy </3 Last thing! That shot with Drift spinning downward was easily the most fun to code in this whole animatic. I kid you not, I spent 15 minutes perfecting it because of how much I: 1. Wanted it to look good, and 2. was having fun watching it play back every time. Drift!! she spin!!! I love drawing Drift she's so fun I pulled lots of strings while coding to make it easier for myself. I think my transitions could've been better but the coding process was a lot more fun the way I did it, so whatever- I hope you enjoyed both the animatic and my description rant! Originally finished this the afternoon of november 9th, but the thumbnail feature was being weird and I refused to share it until the thumbnails fixed themselves lol Byeeee
