Not Gonna Sugarcoat it │ "Silver Lining" Animation

Heya!
I am tired. So tired
Two months, two goddamn months and it probably ain't gonna be worth it.
This video was... a bit too ambitious for my second real project. I might post a behind the scenes video if people like this enough.
So yeah uhh this is my latest work for the "Silver Lining" Animated series. World, Models and animation all by me. Animated and modelled in Blender at 12 fps. I voice acted Christopher and Connor. The sound effects come from way too many sources for me to mention.
Silver Lining is what I've decided to call this world and I'll probably continue working on it in the future. Btw the story is heavily inspired by SOMA. If you know you know :)
Big thank you to one of my friends for making the thumbnail and ‪@3DDan_‬ for making the smear add on!
Enjoy!

@remor698 Ай бұрын

I love the fact that you've basically figured out the animatics style for 3D animations. The one thing I see a need for improvement with is how you anticipate the more impactful attacks in the fight sequence with some parts going too fast to catch what's happening (something made me miss which of the two Connors got kneecapped until it got pointed out afterwards) and some of the bigger attacks being over anticipated to the point of just kind of losing the impact they could have had (especially the final blow). Other than that, this stuff's great. Models, poses, writing, comedy and the creativity overall is just on point.

@VenikHue Ай бұрын

Oh totally. Still learning tons and feedback like this is great! Timing, pacing and anticipation is quite hard to get right.

@AnnisAdventures Ай бұрын

@@VenikHue Extra ambient lighting and changing their base colors to a slightly lighter grey(that should still give the idea of them being the colors they are) should fix some of the issues with clarity in scenes. The glowing parts of their bodies are a bit too bright for the darkness around them and make it hard to see with such dramatic contrast. I wouldn't decrease the glow light though, just simply increase the rest of the lighting, maybe with some diffused and dim area lights, somewhat pointing everywhere to prevent shadows. Maybe do a soft warm color somewhere between the other lighting's color and white, just so the general light doesn't overly saturate the scene with orange beyond what would be realistic. You could also play with simply adding some diffused lighting on the characters themselves instead of doing the whole scene, but I feel like an area light might be the way to go here. Even though it is a 'dark' scene, we should be able to see more. Think of it like a moonless night vs one with a full moon in the countryside. With the full moon it is still dark/nighttime, but you can still read the newspaper thanks to our eyes being able to adjust. In videos though, the viewer's eyes are limited in what they can adjust to simply because of the nature of digital screens, so you have to compensate with extra lighting. Currently your scene reads as a moonless night where it would be hard to even read a street sign and makes the scene equally difficult to read/understand for the viewer. I actually really enjoyed the timing and pacing, I think you've managed to find something that works, it's just the lighting preventing that from showing as well.

Goddamn someone noticed. I used to make a bunch of Rain World stuff in 3D when I was practicing which included the guardians. I needed a bunch of symbols for this scene and though “well I already modelled these guardian symbols, why not reuse them instead of spending time making new original symbols”. The strategy is to be as efficient as possible while the visuals still look passing. The amount of things in this animation that are recycled from previous projects is staggering.

Dude, the sound design you used in this is pretty damn good. The reverberation from Chris whenever he is in a combative state, the charging of the Connor Copy's projectile, and even just the sound you had used at 3:21 - 3:23 is just really well put together. I also just love the implication that every time there has been an interaction with another Connor, they have had numerous situations where something needs to be repaired. Makes me wonder how the first interaction between Connor and Chris went....

I`ve read the description, but I must say, the worldbuilding, models, and voice work are all pretty good! I think you are not seeing the good parts of your work due to working for so long on it, but I genuinely love all the little details and interactions, the greatest was the sigil when Connor loaded the gun, I would absolutely LOVE to read a sketchbook or a lore book on this series, and the 12 fps looks good, on par with some of the cen0`s low fps work, where he mimicked the GGST style, I would suggest looking at that for inspiration. Please, don`t burn yourself out, I was already interested on the "nuke parry" but this is a whole other level, I just want ya to succeed to see your work!

@Snuck1 Ай бұрын

OK so what I think the lore is that something happened chasing scientists to put their memories and personality in robots but the personality got spread , mabey to heighten the chance of survival for the persons personality. And now the robots search for parts to keep them going

@MirAilon Ай бұрын

This is so unbelievably incredible from a storytelling perspective. In these four something minutes you managed to make me fall in love with these two tin cans and their world. Showed just enough story to hook, but not too much to bore. You just made people want to know more. I certainly do. You characterised them so well even if you voiced them alone. Good job! Chris and Connor just feel like two separate, real (Eh, close enough) people. And lord, their designs. I'm a sucker for a good mechanical design and this is it. They managed to be memorable and convey the personalities of your characters, while also being unique enough to stand out in the ocean of other sci-fi worlds. Bonus points for color coding them and bonus-bonus points for making Chris look like a knight (even if it was unintentional). I love how even the humour ties to the characters mechanical origin. Chris shutting down because he's a robot and managed his energy poorly is hilarious (Him collapsing afterwards is a cherry on top). On the final note I really want to make sure that you know that this project wasn't a waste of time, and you executed your idea beautifully. Keep doing what you like to do, and I'm glad I can follow you on your creative journey. It's because of the creators like you I love KZfaq.

Dr Adler Opus turm crazy and start creating an empire of clones, Dr connor got his robots corrupted and united with Chris to find their partners If the creator read this, i would like to know if i got somrthing correct 😊
