- To be fair, I can't unsee Ariel either.
I was watching Third Life, and heard the words "bling bling." This brought me back to the Cursed Fairtytales-themed Guess the Build video ( • Guess That Cursed Fair... ). I had always planned on making an animatic of it at some point but this encouraged me to do it much sooner. I tried looking for Guess the Build animatics & animations for a while back, and there were a few, but not as many as I'd have hoped. So I decided to make one of my own. My holidays were a bit longer than usual, so I took the opportunity to work on this. I finished it in fifteen days, beginning August 27th and working in chunks until today.
At the start, I was very excited for the smallest form of progress. Then I lost some of that enthusiasm as I became slightly critical of the animatic, but that pessimism dissipated as I got closer to being "free" from it. I would tinker the parts I wasn't happy with so I could at the very least look back with little regret. I'm very pleased with the end result, my only issues being the timing feeling slower compared to how it was in the video editor (might just be me) and the odd quality (that also existed with my previous animatic-I guess it's the price I pay to have it not look pixelated).
It feels like I experienced an entire era making this. It did make me question whether I even ought to try any more long non-music-oriented animatics like this, considering how much that one was for me. Yet it felt somewhat surmontable. It'll likely be less so since school is back now, and not only will I have less time to work on longer animatics but I'll have to be more careful with my hands and wrists. I'm looking forward to working on more of these though, regardless of the amount of time it takes. Shorter ones especially!
Funnily enough, another batch of Guess the Build videos got uploaded while I was making this. I've yet to watch them: I decided that it would be my "reward" after I complete this animatic. By that point there were three scenes that needed to be done: Joel reading Impulse's guess, Impulse's final words, and... yeah, the 0:06-0:11 clip. I didn't have any precise idea of what to do with that part of the audio, so I decided to cut the audio shorter to make it simpler, then I kept working on the other scenes and... well, it was the last scene left. Thus officially making it the most rushed part of the video (with one redeeming quality, fortunately-one frame made me chuckle). Even the "bare minimum" scenes had more work put into it, either because they got reworked to look better or because they included Skizz whom I changed the color of the lines twice (dark red brown made him look too similar to Impulse, then the light red I first picked was too bright). Not to imply there was a ton of effort put into this, just that compared to the previous animatic, I went back and made a lot more changes than I would've before.
While I did film myself for the final part, I did not rotoscope it: I just used it as a reference for the key frames and then did the inbetweens without it. For the lipsync I winged it, much like the entire animatic.
Through drawing this, I also found out that there was a widely-disliked Snow White live-action remake. Huh.

Gem has no room to talk after her purple characters fiasco!😂
Ah yes, my favourite colour.
PIRPLE

@@rock_stew8629 Oops, stupid sausage fingers! 🤪
(tbf this episode was before the Purple episode)
@@rock_stew8629 LOL, curse my sausage fingers!
I hadn't yet watched Gem's video when you made that comment-in fact, it kinda prompted me to. Now I have the context, yeah, I can understand! Not that I'm any better when it comes to my general knowledge of things.
Brilliant the bit where Impulse stands in the back, completely dreading what is coming and just agreeing noncommitically, while the others are gushing about the cute build...
Grian: we got a free spot on guess the build
Martyn: you called
The fact that I don't think Martyn is allowed back on is a funny part to me.
They wanted to stop something like the cursed princesses from ever happening again, but failed to prevent the tendrils horror.
Jimmy building himself as Prince Charming is SOOOOOOOOO hilarious OMG
Yeah, that was one of the things that still made me laugh after having to watch these extracts several times while animating them.
I love how Gem knows virtually no other characters but she knows all the princesses
And obscure Winnie the Pooh movies.
🤣🤣🤣 Somehow I missed this!!!! This is such a funny moment, thank you for bringing this to an animation!
Who awkward impulse looks when gem calls his name is perfect
2:34
I love how Martyn just appears here XD
Great animation!
He even does the little wobble thing like the roadrunner that runs from the coyote lol😂
@@skeletonsandbutterflies1569
That's probably my favourite bit about it
@@skeletonsandbutterflies1569 While animating that part, I was afraid no one would recognize. Good to know my fears were a bit unfounded!
How every time gem calls impulses name his hair sticks out straight 🤣 such a good addition
Well done Joel for making Impulse’s guess PG, because that could have gone HORRIBLY wrong! 😂
I CAN'T, I KEEP LAUGHING AT THIS
This is very good.
This is very well made!!! :D incredibly well assembled, as well - the animations look so smooth! I'm a little in awe you made this in Windows Movie Maker - this was so fun to watch through, omg :D
Thanks!
Honestly, I wouldn't know any other way of animating. Programs with animations backed in seem a bit daunting to me, and other editing softwares are too complex when all I want to do is just... be able to make this drawing stay for X seconds. Movie Maker makes it so that all the pictures have the same "size" so moving them around is easier compared to other softwares where it's dependent on how long they last. I can't imagine animating on, say, my other editing software VideoProc Vlogger, and having to zoom in to move the pictures around, that would just be hell.
The worst part is that... that's what some animators do! If you want an example of what I'm talking about, look up "Animating With Shilach 1" at the 5 minutes mark. Granted, I'm sure you can simply set a number of seconds with a software like that, but even then that still makes moving tiny pictures around a bit complicated. Compare that to someone who uses the exact same two softwares that I do (look up "ANIMATING [Blood Brothers]") and has the same process except that she saves directly after completing her drawings (I prefer having all the drawings for a scene before doing that).
There are some drawbacks to using Movie Maker-like having to resave the drawings if I make mistakes-but fortunately Movie Maker makes that process more time-consuming than actively tedious.
The fact that he has daughters…😂😂😂😂 HOWWWWW!!!
this is so cute and funny , i love how you captured them all :D
YOUR DESIGNS I LOVE THEM WITH MY WHOLE HEART
I'm happy you do!
THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE THE EXPRESSIONS MAN
This is a super animatic! You did a really good job!
This is hilarious 😂
Dude this is awesome
Thanks!
Oh this is so good though xDD
Expressions are awesome i tell you
Aww, thanks! I feel like expressions are my strong suit.
lol
Wow, you're generous with hair =P
Indeed I am! I'm a hair person, can't help it. -You should look at Mumbo from my previous animatic.-
hehehe
