What is going on in this image?

Two overseers, the Eyes of the World.  In this case, both Bayonettas represent the Left and Right (Dark and Light) eyes watching over the world… or possibly the power of creation. It’s said when both eyes are assembled the power of creation will awaken.

Hi! I was just wondering what animation program you use at your studio? (Your animation is beautiful!!) Thank you!

once and for all answer: our animators use flash for animation and photoshop/after effects/premiere for other functions(and thanks!)

i can feel my sins crawling on my back

[gigaboss]

bonus shot i did for an unreleased project

[gigaboss]

some of my stuff for Hero of Rhyme. i did all the fx on this one! fire and smoke are actually my weaknesses with fx animation, so this was really good practice.

shout outs to Javier, Temmie and Sandra for all being awesome collaborators on shots I worked on! Sandra and I (And forosha!) split two shots, I split a shot with Javier, and then Javier and Tem both took some of my roughs (not shown) and made sense of them when I had to hustle on these shots shown here

i wanted to post them asap but i don't have time to export them my normal way today, so i exported them through flash, resulting in kinda crappy colors. sorry guys, i'll fix it later when i get some time!

who wants rainbow cake

ive been pretty impressed with kirby designs lately

[gigaboss]

Yo Jake! Um I just wanted to say well done on the most recent Starbomb video, those shots and colours were super yummy. Also, i wanted to mention how awesome you were on Ross's recent livestream, i watched it over a couple days and it really made my feel sane while studying for my recent exams. In just a few days i'll be free of sixth form (which i think translates to high school idk) and ill be free to go study animation, so the stuff you've been doing has really got me hyped for the future. <3

Hey dude, thanks! Glad you liked the video, and glad you enjoyed the stream too! I had a lot of fun in there, I’d love to do more streaming with people in the future (especially since I fiend for the attention of people asking me questions and getting to ramble about things)

[gigaboss]

i know this boy's got somethin

[gigaboss]

another animation I did!! there's a lot of shots roughed out by Ross, but this is one of the ones we did from scratch. this one took longer to do than I'm willing to publicly admit, but I still had a lot of fun with it, also my first time animating snow effects yo

[gigaboss]

Some of my FX stuff from the new Starbomb video! this was my first time ever doing FX on something, so I want to keep practicing in future videos!

character animation in the final shot was by Paul Ter Voorde, and the "stop" shot was by Michael Azzi (Michafrar) -- Check them out if you haven't already!!

[studioyotta]

Hey guys, been a while huh?

But hey, MINECRAFT IS FOR EVERYONE is out! Check it out above, we worked hard on it!!

[gigaboss]

it's out!! I was animation director on this again, but this time I also got to do post-production on it.

i'll be posting some of the FX I did here in a bit!!

[temmiechang]

My thesis film!!  Thank you so much to fwugradiation for the music/score, surasshu for the sound design and mixing and kirbopher for voice casting!! And also a huge thank you to krispykitten and to everyone who helped out with my film!! I really appreciate it!  I hope you enjoy!

[gigaboss]

I love Tem's student film so much, seriously

[lenkalamari]

MERRY XMAS! Here’s my gift to you lot: The full storyboards/layouts for Smash. You can see some of the ideas we ended up dropping, as well as shots that ended up getting much better throughout production.

[studioyotta]

Joel C released a compilation of the storyboards for SMASH! Check it out!

[gigaboss]

i did some drawings in here, anyone who can guess which ones i did will be rewarded with a firm handshake and maybe even some eye contact
