Hey guys so

00:00:01.859 --> 00:00:03.019
I am going to give you

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.040
behind the scenes look at my latest animation

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.019
Animator vs. Animation IV

00:00:07.019 --> 00:00:09.159
So everything that you saw on a monitor

00:00:09.159 --> 00:00:10.822
or a phone

00:00:10.822 --> 00:00:13.550
was animated using Adobe Flash

00:00:13.550 --> 00:00:17.613
I didn't use recording software to record the screen

00:00:17.613 --> 00:00:19.211
everything was animated

00:00:19.220 --> 00:00:21.060
So this animation was different because

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:23.860
I had live-action pieces included

00:00:24.455 --> 00:00:26.766
so every time you see stuff happening on a monitor

00:00:26.766 --> 00:00:31.066
it's uh...actually a video, playing full 
screen, that I animated beforehand

00:00:31.945 --> 00:00:35.226
So, even in the scene when I'm drawing the stick figure

00:00:35.226 --> 00:00:40.138
I animated that and had to match 
my drawing to the video

00:00:40.138 --> 00:00:43.691
Uh, I took a lot of screenshots to make the backgrounds

00:00:43.691 --> 00:00:45.850
I used a program called Lightshot

00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:48.485
to copy small sections into the scene

00:00:48.485 --> 00:00:50.820
particularly the control panel scene

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.487
so everything in the Facebook scene

00:00:53.487 --> 00:00:58.179
was reconstructed to only include 
the names of Kickstarter backers

00:00:58.179 --> 00:01:01.203
and other text that I decided upon beforehand

00:01:01.203 --> 00:01:05.491
First, I would cover the old text 
with the background color

00:01:05.491 --> 00:01:10.955
and then I would add my own text, using the exact same font, size, and location

00:01:10.955 --> 00:01:14.676
The iPhone scene was definitely 
one of the more complex scenes

00:01:14.676 --> 00:01:17.913
I animated it in Flash beforehand

00:01:17.913 --> 00:01:20.913
and then I played it as a video on the phone

00:01:20.913 --> 00:01:23.881
Then, I attached a piece of plastic to my finger

00:01:23.881 --> 00:01:27.117
so I could touch the screen without pausing the video

00:01:27.117 --> 00:01:28.790
or swiping to the next video

00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:33.580
The timing was so precise that I had to take 10 shots

00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:37.447
all the way through and then I took 
the best sections from each one

00:01:37.447 --> 00:01:41.267
and spliced them together using Adobe After Effects

00:01:41.267 --> 00:01:43.730
and I had to make it appear seamless

00:01:43.730 --> 00:01:46.248
and this sometimes required extreme measures

00:01:46.248 --> 00:01:49.766
for example, if the cut from scene 
to scene was too noticeable

00:01:49.766 --> 00:01:52.732
I sometimes had to cut out the hand using the mask tool

00:01:52.732 --> 00:01:55.080
and then use the puppet tool to warp it into place

00:01:55.080 --> 00:01:57.381
so that the transition appeared more gradual

00:01:57.381 --> 00:01:59.759
All of the sounds were recorded separately (Sounds)

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:03.017
even the sounds of the live action shots (Sounds)

00:02:03.017 --> 00:02:06.266
this was to ensure audio quality with no noise (Sounds)

00:02:06.266 --> 00:02:09.195
Uh, most of my sound effects I created myself (Sounds)

00:02:09.195 --> 00:02:12.237
including the stick figure walking 
and the whoosh sounds (Sounds)

00:02:12.237 --> 00:02:15.017
So I worked on this animation for 11 months

00:02:15.017 --> 00:02:20.455
and I logged 738 hours, which 
is twice as many as number 3

00:02:20.455 --> 00:02:22.174
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video

00:02:22.174 --> 00:02:23.256
and...
