Finished clip  Mark vs Jack fighting clip (animation by maskman626


So...a lot of people been asking me in the comment or in the note :
How do I do animations and which program did I use for animate ? Is there a story behind these works? Is there gonna be a full movies of it...

and today I'm gonna answer all these questions in this post all at once

Let's talk about the animation first:

Mostly, all animation will starts with a storyboard like this:
  Anti draft by maskman626 
BTW these are all deleted scenes..


but I'm a impatient one who always want to start the project immediately when the ideas hits my head, so I generally would just skip this process...

Anyone who studied animation might be a little surprise that someone still animate stuff on Adobe Flash, this buggy little sh*t...
But to me , I love the way it could edit or adjust the frames easily and fast, so for now I use it as assistance and draft

After finish the whole "performance" on flash, next is to clean up the draft for the first time ,

and move on to the program "Tvpaint" to do the depicting again.
  Edit2 by maskman626 
Which means after the draft, I'll have to depict every frame twice ,
this is because I realized I got a huge problem while I'm doing animations, since I'm the guy who always mess up on handwriting,

if look closely, the outline is always spazzing out that makes the character a bit shaky .

To prevent this problem, the first depict is now for rearrange the lines from the draft, make it look (at least) clear to recognize ,and the second depict on Tvpaint is like double checking if there's anything goes wrong on each frames, like the hair's movement or the shape of the character . Also Tvpaint contains some features and paint brush just like Photoshop,
so I can make the whole project looks more like it's hand drawn, and complete the coloring part on this program .

Every single frame would have to went through all these process.

After all these messy hell ,it's time for "Adobe After effects" to shine~
here is for adding some effect like lighting or some additional editing,

this is like the process of "making your stuff looks better" 

Here you go

I'm not trying to be all "professional-like" in here, just want to share that this is how the animations are made in "my way", I still need to improve a lot of things...

And YES, there is a story behinds all the project. we're still working on it .
Huge Thanks to #HalcyonLioness who is now helping me for the copywriting stuff, she've done a amazing job ~ 
 I'll display the clue of the story in many ways like : not real screen shot, animation clips, or comics(anything contains word "silly" doesn't involve in story) , but I have to apologize that there won't be a full movie of it .
I know I've talk about this before but I'm gonna answer this again: I'm working on the animations alone.
Anyone did this before, you know this is a extreme time consumed stuff to do, a 3sec clip could took you a month or even more to finish it if you want to see it in a good quality. So for now , I'll keep working on some random animated clip, and hopefully one day we can gather enough durations to make them into a "fake trailer " (:

And of course I'm not saying these to show that I've been through some hard work, I REALLY had a ton of fun during these process,
like some youtubers said: We do it, cause we love it.

And again , I know I've said "Thank you" so many times, but still:

Sincerely ,Thanks everyone here who watches my drawings and witness these construction. 
And thanks to #markiplier  and #jacksepticeye  for making me seriously want to draw again

BTW We've hits over a thousand watchers on this page~
Thank you all for the support and likeness

Cheers from Taiwan ~
