How Did I Animate Pomni for 'Happy Place'? (Animation Breakdown)

As some of you TADC fans know, @ZAMinationProductions & @CubicalStudios released their music video "Happy Place" a few days ago which featured many talented mixed media artists!

I had the honor of working with them for the very brief 2D/3D hybrid shot (which yes, was a homage to @OR3Omusic 's Digital Hallucination which I did the art/music video for).

I felt it would be pretty fun to do a little breakdown of the process and showcase how 4 seconds of work can be deceptively hard! And for those interested in my animation process, if you like these sorts of videos, let me know in the comments cause I'd love to make more.

I was flabbergasted, astounded, speechless from the animation
why does kittensneeze just casually sound like pomni

[howlingfang]

I knew I recognized that animation, also I’d really want to have you as my teacher for animation

[Blossom_Blitz]

I knew that was you! Right when I saw the style, I thought of your art! Glad I guessed right

[patchpatch]

Two months for 4 seconds of animation on 1's is deceptively difficult. Super informative!

[pixelbot]

Dang all for just 4 seconds of animation

[perynal]

It's nice to see the BTS of these kind of things. Great job on your part!

[KiaHearts_cti]

You’ve heavily inspired me to animate and I love your art style so much!! I’m happy you got to work on a part in happy place even it was a couple seconds, I can tell how much effort went into this! Can’t wait for more from you KittenSneeze!!

Also, Happy New year!!🥳

3:05 Oofff and here I am committed to becoming an animator😵

[DavidToons]

The animation turned out FANTASTIC
I love the behind the scenes goodies :D

[jacktheanimator]

You're experience making this shot has given me a lot to think about in making my own animations. Great job making this for the music video for Zamination.

[endoamai]

I was literally just thinking about when was the last time you posted anything, and here you are!

[DambustaAnimations]

I love your Animation style so much and your design of Pomni works so well in 2D! I literally sat up in my seat when I saw your Animation in the music video and wish I saw more of it! And its great seeing the 'Behind The Scenes' as well because it reminds people just how much work goes into 2D Animation! :)

0:17 Your favorite mentally sound Jester & Animator!

[imnotfunnybro]

It always baffles me how incredible some animations can look and all of the wprk done is only a couple seconds😭y’all are so unbelievably talented

[CsgnoYTP-qldc]

When I saw that part I immediately understood that you animated it, I love your animations and your styles

[Sonario]

You absolutely delivered! Loved seeing you part of such great music video.

[cstrife_]

I've been following your stuff since August of 2022 and it's always nice to see the process of one of my favourite animators :)

[adamk-paxlogan]

THE ANIMATION WAS TRULY AMAZING WELL DONE TO YOU AND ZAM FOR SUCH AN AMAZING MUSIC VIDEO

[PenguinMinerGman]

This was one of the best parts of the music video! You did such a great job! it was so smooth and fluid! Keep up the good work!

[jacobpalitsky]

I love the scruffiness you give your characters, it’s so awesome. Keep doing you, Kittensneeze
