    This video is a very practical look at how to do a movie step-by-step. So many "behind the scene" are more filmed diary entries than actual "this is how we did it". I'm impressed at your capacity for organization too lol. I'm sure it got very messy to actually put the film out there but being able to break down every tasks and actually go through all of them is such an accomplishment. Congrats on making your films and thanks for this video.

Not to mention sharing a full comprehensive guide for scheduling, cooperating with others and collecting references for colorscripts. Can't wait for bloodbound 2, thank you so much for all the help!

  • @krampus5531

    This is really awesome! Lat year i wanted to make ahort film for the Animator's Guild contest when i heard about it (fucking june) and realised i *had only two months to make a 2 minute film* after i did some minor pre-production, looked at the insane work schedule i wouldhave to keep, and just quit lol. Now i still won't be able to start a project like this, this year, because i'm working on a comic and it won;t be done until after Dec-Jan, way after the start date for the contest ><
    But an animated film/series is something i would love to do, even without the contest. One of my favorite parts of Blood Bound was the colors and lighting, it was so polished and pretty, really unlike what you normally see in short film animations. It's cool to see that is one of the details you actively focased on.
    Thank you SO MUCH for this guide, i really needed an example of a pipeline/work schedule for animation because my process is stupid and messy, even though it has improved with doing my comic XD
    Excited for the Blood Bound sequel. Good day to you :))
