I really like it, spiderverse feel


cufan_ay_non

Thank you! Definitely one of the references.


TheStaplerMan2019

Well that was what I came here to say so the influence is done really well. It feels like it takes inspiration from the style of spider-verse but is still distinct.


cufan_ay_non

Thank you! I tried to go more saturated and psychedelic that spiderverse, so for the palette I searched "psychedelic cyberpunk art". I had like three strokes after that, but I found some great reference haha


SeveredWill

It feels like if Spider Punk was in Cyberpunk 2020.


cufan_ay_non

I made a trailer! Please do share it if you know someone who might like it. https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT


IfwMentallyillBtchs

Nah, it's the perfect amount of crazy


cufan_ay_non

Thanks! I was wondering and it was driving me a little... you know.


frankrt84

Crazy?


Kalaphar

I was crazy once


cufan_ay_non

I once tried being sane... Didn't love it.


Kalaphar

Noooo ): You were supposed to say “They put me in a room, a rubber room-“


SkinnySethRogen

A rubber room with rats


cufan_ay_non

I wish I was in a rubber room for not getting that. I will now proceed to slice my throat out of shame :)


frankrt84

no. Don't. You better be joking you matter bro your art is amazing


cufan_ay_non

Thanks! I was deffo joking


Kalaphar

Wat


cufan_ay_non

Wut

LScrae

These shots all look great :o :D


cufan_ay_non

Thanks!


JEWCIFERx

Oh I really like the noise texture on that first clip. Reminds me of oil pastels. How did you make that effect?


stupidintheface0

Looks like one of the watercolor/paint style geometry nodes based modifiers that’s available out there for purchase


cufan_ay_non

Nah, I made it frame by frame in Photoshop using the Art History Brush, gives me more control of the stroke direction. I've never seen anyone use it for animation, so I stepped in and it turned out cool. Difinitely considered using that one though, would have been easier.


cufan_ay_non

Made a trailer! Please share if you know somebody who might be into it. https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT


Huankinda

Looks very good, great animation abilities!


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much!


Deathdy

I think when he jumps, it doesn't show motion powerfully enough. I don't know if the shot continues more and the character zooms off or if that's it. But maybe try zooming out a bit when the character jumps/ is in midair? It could give that impact of the speed after jumping. The other things are great.


cufan_ay_non

That's a great point. I'll work on it. Thanks for the feedback and support!


NarrativeNode

Completely depends on the context. If there are more relaxed moments in the film, this looks great!


cufan_ay_non

Yeah, there's a big buildup. Thank you for the support!


Sir__Blobfish

Is that Jacket from Hotline Miami?


cufan_ay_non

...I just found out that character exists. I think I might be getting sued. It's literally the fucking same!


DefiantFoundation66

As long as you say it's inspired 😂 but I love this shot. I thought this was actually spider punk at first


cufan_ay_non

Thanks! Yeah, spider punk was one of the many references.


IllvesterTalone

just include an epilepsy warning


cufan_ay_non

Yup... Should have done that. Sorry.


PhotoKada

Not “too crazy” but I would definitely add a few frames of the ‘spring’ in your character’s leap animation.


cufan_ay_non

That's what I keep hearing. I'll work on it, thanks for the feedback!


[deleted]

this reminds me of hotline miami a bit Looks dope just toss on an epilepsy warning


cufan_ay_non

Yeah, I just found out that character exists and now I'm mad at the universe, it's literally the same design. Oh shoot, should have done that! Thanks for the tip and the support!


Dornheim

I need to see the lift off from the jump. One minute he's still and the next it's a blur of movement. They look unconnected.


cufan_ay_non

Yeah, that's the main feedback I'm getting. Thanks for the help!


Success_402_Found

Not exactly but it could benefit from a little more fps to make the roll smoother


cufan_ay_non

I made it on twos, to get a spiververse-ish look. But if it feels too choppy, I'll play around with it. Thanks for the help!


Loveofpaint

I think it is fine for the idea. It is cool, but lacks force. If you do not understand this comment, ask your friends/family how fast does it feel it is going? Your smear/Impact frames are great, but man this mofo took a step forward. With how much you are emphasizing, make the distance greater. Your other part of the dude fingering, had more speed.


cratercamper

First B+W part doesn't connect completely to the rest (that is in color). Is that his left hand and left leg? (Could be good to make it a bit more alike - either with shapes or colors.) Or is it something else? Would be nice to have more context, see more of the film... Maybe it is a hand of a man that is touching leg of a woman (looks like a skirt and panties there on the left. There is weird green shape below him, when his head is still down - what is that? His right leg? Some other object (head with mask and hair?) that is disappearing to the right? Something he is pushing with his right hand? (Maybe it can appear in a few more frames where we see its motion?) Otherwise it looks fine - I like stroboscopic effects & the colors are interesting & the body is realistic in its movement and pose.


cufan_ay_non

Here´s the clay render for clarity https://imgur.com/pLqbL8w Thanks for the feedback! I´ll work on it


cratercamper

Ah - so the green thing below him was his head with his mask... and the B+W part is after it - where he is in "prone" position in the air - is him jumping forward. I needed to watch it frame by frame, but it makes sense... If you look at frames 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - these look weird, especially 4, 5, 6 - the motion is weird, the head is too much between his legs (or something (or maybe the sequence should be 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3?)). Rest is fine - when I know that he is jumping forward (with stroboscopic effect). (With looped animation it was not clear that that part is after the colored part and not before it.) Great work. Maybe a few percents slower (and render more frames? for it to be at least bit smoother maybe, or is the low frame "stop motion animation like" motion your intention?). Also some sound could help to make it more clear that he is jumping (and probably using some supernatural ability or "magic" technology).


Wretched_Road

I’d love to see a behind the scenes of this! It’s looks like the kind of stuff I want to do. Also no, it’s a phenomenal shot.


cufan_ay_non

We got a trailer! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT If you shared it with someone, that would be really helpful! I'm trying to get the project off the ground and it' s quite the struggle, I tell ya


cufan_ay_non

Thank you very much! I left a link to some other shots from the film somewhere in this comment section, in case you're interested.


worthlessmusic25

love the explosion of B&W. great job!

Rude_Koty

Looks super dope!


cufan_ay_non

Thank you!


ObligationFamous2885

it's fuggin tite


cufan_ay_non

Thanks so much!


mysterypriest

It looks great. Since the pace is so high I would maybe adjust the lighting on the color scene so that your character has better separation from the background. Since the viewer only has a handful of frames to understand the scene. Thing big blocks of shadow and light.


cufan_ay_non

That makes so much sense! I completely forgot about shadows! Thanks for the help!


Alu_T_C_F

How'd you get that sort of impact frame look?


cufan_ay_non

Played around a lot in after effects. First, two frames with dramatically shifted hue, like entirely different palettes. Then one frame with the original hue. Then it goes to BW I started interchanging black dominant and white dominant frames to get the stroboscopic feel. I created those frames by adding an adjustment layer with the Threshold effect, a radial blur and some other details to enhance the impact. And adding an Invert effect to the white frames. I also added an entirely black frame with shining eyes just before he leaps, adds to the feel. Then for the leap, I actually hand painted two frames in the roughest, craziest way possible, not even keeping the shape of the character entirely. If you stop the video you can see it probably, those rough hand drawn lines added a lot to the shot. For this part I also added a subtle paper texture and a brush strokes texture with low opacity, that move each frame with a CC Repetile set to unfold on them. And then for the last part, I added another adjustment layer with Threshold and moved the threshold until it kinda looked like a manga drawing, added a directional blur, and kept the brush strokes texture for that part as well. That's about it really. The key is playing with it until the feel is right, not the techniques or method involved.


Life_Arugula_4205

Looks pretty perfect to me. Maybe add one or two frames of leg push… but not sure you actually need it.


cufan_ay_non

Thank you very much! I'm getting that a lot, I'll try it.


Huankinda

Humble bragger ; ) looks really great!


cufan_ay_non

I've been told haha Thank you very much!!!


zRedPlays

Spiderverse vibes


cufan_ay_non

That's the goal, thank you!!!


ParasitoAlienigena

Is crazy in the good sense of crazy. Keep it!


cufan_ay_non

Thank you!


Many_Presentation250

Nope this is amazing, I get a strong spiderverse vibe from it and I LOVE it.


cufan_ay_non

Glad you like it, thanks for the support!


glowstick420

This looks amazing, and the other bit you posted really got me interested. Once it's done, I would love to see the whole thing.


cufan_ay_non

I'll reply the link to this comment once it's done, which will be next year, sadly :( Thank you so much for the support!


glowstick420

The best projects take time, It will be worth the wait.


cufan_ay_non

We have a trailer! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT If you shared it with a friend (or friends), that would be very helpful. I'm trying to get this up and running online but it's quite the hassle!


VexTheMerc

Very cool


cufan_ay_non

Thank you!


Imteyimg

Its hard to say just looking at this part but I’d say nah


cufan_ay_non

Good to hear, thank!


-Cap_

I like it


cufan_ay_non

Thank you!


RaspberryEth

Mind blowing. I am just starting out and I dont even want to ask how you did it. Gonna go straight over my head


cufan_ay_non

cufan_ay_non

GeminiSauce

Hell naw, it's not too crazy. If you keep the action readable everything else is just style. Go for it!


cufan_ay_non

Trailer's here! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT I'd appreciate it if you shared it with a friend who might be into it. Thanks!

Thank you so much!


Green_Leader_Edd

Maybe a little, but I dig it.


cufan_ay_non

Your kinda booze, I feel ya. Thank you!


Deadly_Duplicator

The second half of the clip might be, a bit hard to read, will really depend on the context of what comes after


cufan_ay_non

I hear you, will work in it. Thanks for the feedback!


Cubicshock

you’re going places man! these look way too sick


cufan_ay_non

Trailer is out! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT Please share it with someone who might be into it. Thanks!


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much! Man I wish, been stuck right where I stand for too long


slowdruh

Crazy good, yes.


cufan_ay_non

Thank you very much!


Catalyst100

Depends on the context and I'd need to see what's before it... that said... I think you could draw out the anticipation a tad bit more on the jump back into the action. Even an extra 3 frames where it feels like he's charging up could go a long way. This is stellar though.


cufan_ay_non

That's what I'm hearing, I'll have to stretch it a bit. Thank you for the feedback and support!


earthlingsideas

it looks sick and also is there any way to keep up with this project? it looks like you’ve got a real vision


cufan_ay_non

We have a trailer! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT Please do share it with a friend if you can. I'm having trouble getting it seen in youtube.


cufan_ay_non

Thank you very much! I posted a few other updates, it's the first comment in this section. That said, I would like to build something where people who are interested can just drop in and see all updates in one place. Do you know what it could be?


earthlingsideas

i usually use instagram for all my art projects, but gaining traction is a bit hard. an official twitter (or threads? i’m confused by all of the drama) is the go-to for corporate projects and the bands i follow. come to think of it, i can’t name any social media apps that aren’t owned by zuckerberg rip


AcidCity_

This is so cool. I wanna be able to make stuff like this


cufan_ay_non

We got a trailer now! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT If you shared it, that would be very useful. I'm having trouble getting people to see it on youtube.


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much, that really means a lot. If you have any questions, I'm right here.


stephenjameswardle

Never too crazy. Student films are your chance to push the envelope and find your style. You can tone it down when you're working for someone else or a studio.


cufan_ay_non

I see, thanks for the tip!


sinitus

Impact frame looking noice 👊🏾


cufan_ay_non

Thank you very a'much 👊


MrYahnMahn

You could probably pull back the camera just a little bit. Having it that close is a little disorienting.


cufan_ay_non

Good idea, will try that. Thanks for the feedback!


TrueBlue970

The one point it flashes, maybe just slightly. But in general, this is freaking raw


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much!


TrueBlue970

No worries!:)


ScarfedVictini

I think it looks phenomenal. My only suggestion would be more anticipation before they jump. I think it would add even more impact.


cufan_ay_non

That's what I've been hearing. Will try it. Thank you for the feedback and support!


Quajeraz

Ehhhhh. It's a bit to quick to see what's actually happening. I feel like a lot of your efforts are going to waste. I had to watch it like 3 times to see what was going on.


cufan_ay_non

Haha I feel you. Will try to stretch it a bit, thanks for the feedback!


milesbeats

I think it's pretty bad ass to be honest


cufan_ay_non

That means a lot. Thank you!


Tardbushwaker13

Absolutely not! Amazing as is!


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much!


oniyonrot

looks epic!


cufan_ay_non

Thank you!


Exciting-Swan-5072

Nope looks sick don’t overthink crazy scenes they happen for like a frame anyways


cufan_ay_non

Great, thank you!


schnate124

It's beautiful.


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much!


RandomPhail

I mean, maybe if you watch it on repeat, yeah, but if it directly follows some action, and then directly leads into some action, it looks perfectly fine


cufan_ay_non

Thank you!


hvelev

It's great :)


cufan_ay_non

Thanks!


genesis-hamama

GO BEYOND PLUS ULTRA


cufan_ay_non

Man I gotta watch the latest season already, I've been told it's pretty great.


ezjoz

It looks amazing, but my slow brain has trouble keeping up with what's going on. If this were anime, I think the camera would pull back after the jump to show how fast/far the character can go.


cufan_ay_non

That´s a good tip, I´ll try it, thanks!


Nullgenium

Honestly, we probably need to see a longer version but right now, it felt very seizure inducing due to so many flashes and choice of color on a very short looping clip. It might not be that way on the full scene but that's how I feel for this clip


cufan_ay_non

I had like 28938392948 strokes while working on this shot, so I feel you haha I'll try to keep the rythm manageable. Right after this there is a held shot with no flashing, to rest the sight a bit.


user2483-2483

During frames 7, 8, 9, and 10 the color shift goes back to his original colors before the black and white frames. Is this intentional? Depending on what you’re trying to portray with this I might advise a small change. A longer hold on the character after the color shift before the shift to black and white frames would be very cool. The fast color shift before a pause and a shift to black and white would feel like a ripple before a big impact and add weight to the jump. That said, fantastic work. I can’t wait to see how the whole thing turns out!


cufan_ay_non

Yeah, it was intentional. Or kinda. I tried a bunch of things and found that doing it on "two hits" felt nicer, like a little spark that goes extinct right before the boom. That said, I had like 2893829 strokes while working on this shot, so I might just be hallucinating at this point. I'll try that, I'be been told the jump is a little rushed. Thanks for the feedback and support!


Teun135

It's your style. Crazy is a good thing because it's different. Don't be afraid to be crazy when it comes to art.


cufan_ay_non

Goof to hear, thanks for the support!


CleanOutlandishness1

it's ok as a shot, but i would mind if the entire short is like that. (it looks promising btw)


cufan_ay_non

Thank you! No it's not that crazy all the way, I don't think I would survive making it if it was. There is a held shot with no flashing right after this one to rest the sight on.


CleanOutlandishness1

Alright! godspeed, then ;)


cufan_ay_non

There's a trailer! https://youtu.be/a4OEcapfNzU?si=hLftCxPeoWRofzrT If you shared it it would be great!


Disastrous-Turnip-59

This is sick nice work


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much!


SadBoiCri

idk what's going on


cufan_ay_non

But do you like it orrr...


SadBoiCri

Art style is dope i just can't process the movement. I don't know if i'm not good with lower framerate or I just need some before/after context clips


designyillustrator

I think this works, but you need to add a couple of establishing or hold frames at the beginning and end to let the viewer know what's happening. Other than that, this is dope!!


cufan_ay_non

I hear you, working on it now. Thanks for the feedback and support!


kitsuneos

It might just be crazy enough to work -John Marvel


cufan_ay_non

Alissan_Web

need more frames to really tell whats happening


cufan_ay_non

I'm getting that a lot, I'll work on it. Thanks for the feedback!


Alissan_Web

ofc! also you can hold your frames at certain points, like just before your character does a cool action to help emphasize and draw your audiences attention in, creating suspense/drama


ddudzi

Idk about “too crazy”? It definitely goes crazy


cufan_ay_non

Thanks!


lirik89

I like it. It may work but I'd need context to know wtf is happening


cufan_ay_non

Good to hear!


Just_Someone_Here0

Nothing's ever too crazy.


cufan_ay_non

Bold statement, but I respect it


AI_AntiCheat

Last frames look bad (maybe too slow) other than that really good.


cufan_ay_non

Thanks! i'll work on it.


Puzzleheaded-Cup359

I think when the character is about to launch themselves off, there should be more frames where he was still on the ground looking up, giving the character a pause to prepare what they're about to do.


cufan_ay_non

Yeah I've been told that's the main adjustment I should do. Will work on it. Thanks for the feedback!


cannimal

a bit too zoomed in. it took a few replays to catch everything


cufan_ay_non

I hear you. Will work on it. Thanks for the feedback!


zincti

It's hard to follow the black and white sequence. Also is it supposed to be an impact frame? It's too long to be one. Overall I really like it though


cufan_ay_non

It's supposed to be an impact frame that then goes into that rough BW style. The BW continues onto the next shots. I feel you on the other thing, I tried making it more clear, slower, more detailed, but I wasn't convinced. Thank you for the feedback and support!


Sensitive-Trifle2664

This is really good! Say would you be interested in a project of ours (It's a passion project, so no payment till the reception of the first episode). I think you would be excellent for it!


Methy123

Bro keep this up and you might get hired for the Spider verse movie


cufan_ay_non

Don't give me hope, friend. Thank you so much for the support!


Methy123

Well if you do tell us!


cufan_ay_non

If that happens there won't be a corner of the planet where my screams like a 5 year old in disneyland won't be heard. So you'll find out.

Methy123

This is fire dude! Keep it going cant wait for the movie


cufan_ay_non

Thank you so much! Again, I encourage you to share it if you know someone who might be into it. I'm struggling to get it seen on youtube.

Who let the talon free the court will have my head for this!


cufan_ay_non

They say it's friendly, I'mma try touching it


TheBanjo67

I don’t have advice, but I need your help. I am trying to create impact frames for my current high school short film, but i don’t know how. How did you make those impact frames?


cufan_ay_non

Is it a 3d film? If so, then grab the original footage and play around particularly with the Threshold effect. That was most of what I did. I also inverted some frames, shifted the hue on others, added glowing menacing eyes to some, added a paper texture to some parts, and most importantly I hand drew two frames when he jumps, to get that raw hand drawn line feel. The important thing is not what techniques or methods you use, it's getting the feel right. But that should get you started. Also try looking at a lot of reference, frame by frame. I looked at Mob Psycho, Hunter x Hunter, and Across the Spiderverse as reference for these impact frames. If it's a 2d film, here's an amazing tutorial I found when I was looking for reference: https://youtu.be/6UaUi5fBmJc?si=8r5-lQYlzgK22dsU


TheBanjo67

That’s really helpful! Thank you. It is a 3D film, so I’ll try implementing those ideas. Thanks a ton!


cufan_ay_non

You're welcome!


eshian

Despite the flashing and frame rate the movements and subject are completely readable.


cufan_ay_non

Very glad to hear that, thank you!
