WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.270 Scribble Kibble is a show about animation made by an animator. 00:00:04.270 --> 00:00:09.230 There are a lot of recent requests to feature Bloody Bunny, so that’s what I’m going 00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:10.230 to do! 00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:15.410 The title probably clued you in, but it’s violent, so you may not to watch it for that 00:00:15.410 --> 00:00:16.410 reason. 00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:18.080 Link below. 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:19.850 Hmm. 00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:24.250 It’s Hello Kitty, but murderous. 00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:28.980 In terms of the purpose of the Bloody Bunny animations, they’re meant to strengthen 00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:31.380 a line of merchandise that already exists. 00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:35.160 2Spot Communications is a character design company. 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:39.010 Their business is coming up with characters and slapping them on products. 00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:44.230 So like Hello Kitty, the character existed long before the animations. 00:00:44.230 --> 00:00:50.999 In fact, there are 2D animations with a completely different storyline that came out before the 00:00:50.999 --> 00:00:51.999 3D ones. 00:00:51.999 --> 00:00:56.210 Actually, I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on Scribble Kibble before, but historically 00:00:56.210 --> 00:00:58.819 the purpose of animations was to sell toys. 00:00:58.819 --> 00:01:00.890 In many cases it still is. 00:01:00.890 --> 00:01:05.980 Even animated movies, it’s only partly about ticket sales, and mostly about branding toys 00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:08.180 and foods and clothes and toothbrushes. 00:01:08.180 --> 00:01:13.310 Why do you think they keep making Minions movies, eh? 00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:15.160 Bloody Bunny is another form of that. 00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:16.810 Here’s our kickass character. 00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:20.230 Here’s where you can buy stuff of her. 00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:27.030 The animation style does something a little different by combining 2D effects with 3D 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:28.030 animation. 00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:31.990 It looks cool, and if you want to animate something this way it’s really easy compared 00:01:31.990 --> 00:01:35.400 to some of the other types of mixed 2D 3D things you could do. 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.400 Look at this fight scene. 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.240 The animators draw the effects on top of the 3D animation. 00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:44.000 You don’t have to worry about layers or anything: just draw on top of the final 3D 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.000 video. 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.000 Start with your white shapes. 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.300 Then add some outer glow and other effects to make them more polished. 00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:55.540 There are, of course, plenty of scenes that are more complicated that involve either layering, 00:01:55.540 --> 00:02:00.770 so adding the 2D effects animation behind the bear character here, or masking, which 00:02:00.770 --> 00:02:04.380 means hiding all of the art that might leak onto the bear. 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:08.869 Action lines like this are common throughout animation, and they’re easy to make. 00:02:08.869 --> 00:02:13.269 Simply draw two or three frames with lots of pointy little lines. 00:02:13.269 --> 00:02:18.069 There’s no rule about where the second frame of lines should be relative to the first, 00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:19.950 so just draw two options that look good. 00:02:19.950 --> 00:02:20.970 Bloody Bunny likes to have the third frame with shorter lines before cutting back to 00:02:20.970 --> 00:02:22.079 long line frame one. 00:02:22.079 --> 00:02:27.159 All of the 2D effects can be recreated either with a solid brush, or with a charcoal-like 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.890 brush for paint strokes like this slash, and this blood. 00:02:30.890 --> 00:02:33.840 There is one thing that confuses me, and that’s the blood. 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.889 It may look like it’s 2D, and from what I’ve seen a lot of the time it is, but then 00:02:37.889 --> 00:02:42.189 you have a scene like this. 00:02:42.189 --> 00:02:46.930 Look at how those little holes jump around, and look at how rules-based the flow of the 00:02:46.930 --> 00:02:49.349 liquid seems to be in 3D space. 00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:56.659 They must’ve made some kind of 3D blood splash animation. 00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:59.890 Fire is the other thing that fluctuates between 2D and 3D. 00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:06.239 Here we have a 2D fire animation set on top of the logs, but over here, this is 3D fire. 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:10.659 It has a lot more depth than the campfire. 00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:16.230 Though you could make fire like this in After Effects too. 00:03:16.230 --> 00:03:21.499 While it’s possible to make disturbingly realistic fire in After Effects and it technically 00:03:21.499 --> 00:03:25.549 is 2D, it’s also not animated by hand. 00:03:25.549 --> 00:03:31.290 Those 2D hand-animated effects are what we see in Bloody Bunny and instantly recognize 00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:53.780 as unique.
