Jontron Work Flow

Jontron Work Flow

I’m so dreadfully sorry that posts here have been slow. I have been working through a slew of commissions and emails and just haven’t had the time to do my normal doodles and sketches <3 But I hope to be back into the swing of things soon ^_^

In the meantime I wanted to answer the oodles of questions I’ve gotten about how I made my section for the Firework collaboration.

I used Flash CC to make all the animation. And Adobe After Effects for the…well..after effects (color changes and the like. All the fireworks were made default red and changed in post to fit the moods) ^_^

Jon himself was sketched up in roughs first to get the basic shapes and timing down. Once I was happy with the action, I cleaned up the roughs quite a bit to make sure my details would track.

Once the cleanup was done I went in frame by frame and did clean up, utilizing puppet symbols where it would be helpful (Mainly in Jon’s head to keep his mouth, nose and eyes aligned every time)

Once Jon’ was inked and painted I brought his swf files into After Effects, layered on Paper Textures to give it a touch of flavor, and worked in time with the music to change the colors of the fireworks and the background and even Jon himself to change the color scheme with the beat ^_^

And there we have… a baby dinosaur. … i mean…JonTron cartoon ^///^

Hope this helps to illuminate some of my steps in animation ^_^

and I hope you’re all doing wonderfully. I can’t wait to get back into my normal routine really soon! I’ve been talking with other Youtubers and I might even have some cartoons on the rise, in addition to more Dr. Pegasus stuff. Just juggling it all at the moment to make sure it all gets done, and right ^__^

Love you all,
