Neat things
Continuing a post from a couple years back, I’m going to post a few more things that I think are neat.
JacobLenstar & Loose Ends
Jacob is an animator who has managed to capture the essence of 90s cartoons and put it in a bottle. Not just the animation, but the writing, humor, design... All of it. He got a group of artists together and has developed his own episodic cartoon series called Loose Ends! It’s currently in the middle of its run and can be seen from his YouTube channel.
Bensley
Bensley is a musician who I first heard on the Liquicity YouTube channel a couple years back. His music sticks out to me and follows a different type of flow than what I’m accustomed to.
Here are three songs of Bensley’s that I’ve been listening to:
Radio Statica | Hard Times | Trillium
I’m not particularly well-equipped to comment on musical styles, but a lot of his tracks have this sort of “climax” towards the end, and I can say that a lot of his songs have inspired me with a lot of animation ideas - I sincerely wish I could use one of his songs in an animation (for Waterworks or otherwise), but they’re not licensed for that purpose. Instead, I take my idea and try to find a song somewhere else that I could use, but it just isn’t the same... I need to work on my networking skills and find a musician I can work with long-term. I also need to give more thought into how I work with music in Waterworks.
