JTHM 30th Anniversary MAP

ahem…

GREETINGS, VICTIMS!!!!!!!

Are you interested in participating in a fandom-wide project to celebrate the 30th birthday of our beloved maniac’s story????? Then you’re in the right place!!!!!

This is a MAP, a multi-animator project, which is essentially a collaboration of different animators to make something really cool. You might think “oh noooo this sounds cool but animationnn thats intimidatingggg im not good at animatinggggg im not qualified to join” WRONG!!!!!!!!! There are NO requirements for skill or style. As long as youre creating something animated, or even slightly animated like a series of panels or a moving png. You can even do traditional animation if thats your skill!!! This is a love letter to the fans and a showcase of our creativity, not a competition!!!!!!!!

How this is gonna work: Each person takes ONE part. The video shows how many parts there are and where each part starts and ends. Each part is around 9-10 seconds, so be prepared to make your part be around that long! It is FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. In order to not have to manage receiving entries across all social medias, I’ll be linking a GOOGLE FORM to fill out. List your TOP THREE PARTS. It is not guaranteed that you will get one of those if people submit a form before you and select them, but im hoping choosing three will keep that kind of thing happening to a minimum. When your part has been secured, I will email the audio file of your part to the email you provide in the google form. I will update this post in the comments AND my youtube caption as often as i can to keep people informed on which spots are available and which are taken.

Youll notice that some parts have a bit of a specification. They are not 100% required but I would LIKE those parts to be within those themes if possible. Otherwise, you’re free to animate whatever you want as long as it is JTHM. If possible, try not to go super heavy into the IFS/S! themes that AREN’T present in the core series, since this is mostly a tribute to the main line of comics. Its not a total ban, I’m not evil, but say if you wanted to animate an entire part about just tenna and devi in the IFS context without really tying it back to JTHM, or animating a part thats just squee and pepito with no sign of nny, maybe steer clear of that?

Sign-ups will be open either until every spot is filled, or until SEPTEMBER 15TH. If i do not have enough sign ups by then, I will distribute the other parts to those who already are part of the MAP. There will be a section in the google form for if you are willing to take on multiple parts should it come to that. ALL SUBMISSIONS AND/OR CHANGES ARE DUE ON OCTOBER 15TH. You have from NOW until then to get them to me. If you have anything you want to change about your submission, please message me with your updates, but again OCTOBER 15TH is the last day to do so. The MAP will be published in its final form on OCTOBER 31ST AT 12:00 AM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.

EXTREMELY. IMPORTANT. PLEASEEEEEEEEE make sure you are COMMITTED!!!!!!!!! If you take a part and just dont do anything with it, then youre robbing someone else of that spot who is ready to be dedicated. If you arent sure if you want to or not, please wait until you are SURE

If you want to really stay in tune, PLEASE JOIN THE TORTURE CHAMBER DISCORD as I will be easiest to reach there and actively talking about it:

Here is the link to the google form:
