I figured that I should show proof that I’m working on a shitty tv series.
This is the teaser that our contractor posted on her youtube page, it’s a series that is actually based on a real band that lives in a neighboring city from mine (our contractor is actually their manager).
To be honest, the band itself is not bad (their sound is not exactly my kind of jam, but they aren’t bad either as local bands go), but i have watched enough celebrity based cartoons to know when they’re shitty. Specially this one, as I’m actually working on it.
The production has a lot of problems, the studio i’m working for is actually the lastest on a line of studios to take this project in, i’m not sure how many studios actually had their hands on this project, but i know that one of them was paid and they did nothing and other basically didn’t had enough workers. We didn’t even did the character designs, they were made by someone that i don’t even know.
Also, our contractor keep asking for useless changes even though we’re near the deadline for the production of this thing. We basically got funding through a cultural project paid by our government, we have a very limited budget and a 18 months deadline that is now impossible thanks to the fact we took this project just six months ago and we need to finish this in about two-three months, there’s still 5 episodes (of 13) to go. They’re short, about five minutes, but because of all of this and the fact that our team is small (there’s only thee animators counting with me), we’re in hell.
NOTE: If you wanna know what i animated on this, i basically did the guy who turns into a tornado and the scene where the armored guy gets bigass hands and then the bird guy flies to the sky. I also did some minor things, like smoke and water effects.
NOTE 2: please, do not get angry about this thing, i fear for my job and i need the money. I’m just venting my frustration.
