cartoon brew liked it too!! which is nice cause you know how harsh they can be. We made it in flash in about 2 weeks, if you have any questions on how we created it just ask! There is a longer version of the video on the 'get him to the greek' page on facebook. Check it out!

Congratulations Mike! I saw the post on Cartoon Brew the other day and when they mentioned who directed it I said "Hey I know a Mike Moloney, and he works at Titmouse too! I'm so excited to see you directing stuff. The commercial looks really cool, fun,and well animated. I can wait to see more work from you as a director! Was the storyboard/idea by you as well?

Yeah! I saw this the other day and thought it was really cool. I'm glad to know that you worked on it.

Dude, Mike, this RULED! Seriously just a crew of 3 people?

Man, I love how much you Titmouse folks move the camera around. Feels so nice. I wanna learn that stuff and I feel like traditional animation schools of thought don't address it. Where'd you learn that kinda stuff?

I'll show you my film once I get a rough composite. I'd love to learn from you!

Fonse- ya I did the storyboard/animatic. The idea wasn't mine though, Chris P. came up with the story idea and style frame, both of which were awesome.

James - Thanks :)!

Chris- Thanks dude! Those camera moves i learned by looking at cool anime haha. Most of those camera moves I animated the character first, then made the background move to the character, if that makes sense.

Cool I cannot wait to see it!! The stills you have been posting look incredible!

I'd love to see a better clearer version of this, please :)

Mike Moloney said...

Hey Tika! thanks so much. You can see a better version on the get me to the greek page on facebook.

I'll show you a better version at work sometime though, cause the only thing online is a centercut/ no letterbox.

Very cool video mike. Did you use pen tool pencil tool or brush to get this linework? Thanks Mike the animation was really nice.

Mike Moloney said...

Hey Geeo - Thanks so much! we cleaned up using the pencil tool
1 pt. thickness. The animation was usually roughed out with the brush tool.

k.mediani said...
