Doodle Music but the colors are sentient

this is just some practice dealing with puppets and tweens and frame by frame all together! I really like puppeting with symbols, it's pretty fun (if time consuming). As well as practicing symbol management. Any looped frames are a 'symbol', and it saves me time not having to redraw or copy/paste! You can also have symbols within symbols, which there are a lot of in this! I made many of the puppets out of symbols too, so I could easily swap out the colors for the different lil guys ^^
I'd hope to have something more substantial done for you all soon, but I'm about to start moving (and working??) so no promises :)

program used: adobe animate
fps: 24, mostly on 2s and 3s

captioning this is gonna be a nightmare but im up to the challenge

This is just a representation of the stages of Blackie's mental health during the creative process. From an idea, to chaos and finally to exhaustion.

And I'm always delighted to see the fruits of her labor.

I love it how during 2:07 it shows that the little scrunchlies have their own little personalities

2:36 imagine being a medieval peasant walking though an old forest at night and hearing this echo through the trees

Okay this is really adorable and I absolutely like the music! Your artstyle always ends up going so well with the way you animate and the audios you animate them too if that makes sense!

[DoctorTex]

For some reason, everything that comes outta Blackie's head is just so GOSH DARN CUTE!

As a choir kid who’s just had a very long week of test prep and is currently catching a cold, this brought me 4 minutes of pure happiness and comfort. Thankyou<3

I watched this on X2 mode and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s beautiful. (Idk why but I’ve been watching this on repeat over and over. It’s so cute)

[Hatsunemikuxd]

This melody made me cry..it's so beautiful

[EverythingTheorist]

Oh yes! I love the original video and this is such a creative adaptation of it! It's really cool to see that the characters here are distinguished both by color AND shape.

[bricc]

Impressive how all the characters (creatures? scrunklies? whatever they are) have their voices synced to the animation. Must have taken a while

[pikachu-ukbg]

See, this is just adorable. All of them on a black canvas making art while singing. It's kind of like them bieng a family

I gotta love how near the end it references the primary and secondary colors of the traditional art pallet (next paragraph explains what I mean, don’t read if you don’t wanna be lectured).

The outer ring consists of the traditional primary colors, being red, yellow, and blue (and before people yell at me, digital has red, green, blue, and contemporary has cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). Inner ring has the secondary colors, which are the result of mixing any two colors, and the final splash resulted in many colors. Over all I very much like the end because it’s really smooth, consistent, self-explanatory, and a cool idea.

I LOVE HOW YOU MADE ALL THE LOOPS DIFFERENT CHARACTERS 😮✨✨💗💗

[appyapday]
