"My Pride" but i animated the lipsync
this is without a doubt one of the stupider things i've done. By the time I realized a much more efficient way of doing this I was already mostly done and it was too late. This took an absolutely ludicrous amount of time to do, not because of the actual lipsync, which was easy, I love doing lipsync, but the coverup, because its like... the original video has tweening and camera work!! so thats why a lot of bits look really floaty or jerky... At this point I could keep tweaking it and tweaking it and tweaking it, but it's basically never going to be perfect, and, like, seriously, I've spent an embarrassing amount of time working on this incredibly silly project. also i have no idea why the colours are slightly different. i really dont. I did this entirely in CSP and it CAN load video, but god knows it doesn't want to. Anyway I was originally going to cheekily title this "My Pride season 2 job application" half seriously and half because its funny, but Tribble's recent video makes me feel like thats a little poor taste. I'd love to work on My Pride or a similar project, but I also always think artists matter more than the art and if the art is causing you harm, its time to stop drawing and take a break. ALSO I WANT TO BE SUPER SUPER CLEAR ABOUT THIS.... i am very pro no lipsync in my pride. This is an indie project with what im sure is an extremely limited budget and tribble spoke about the insane hours she was working on it in addition to that. Lipsync takes a long time. it's a time sink. I think 90% of the time the lack of lipsync doesn't break my immersion- ever seen Homeward Bound? back in the day we used to watch talking animal movies with live action cats and dogs who didnt even open their mouths or look at the camera lol! -and that time and energy was better utilized in other areas. So I super don't want to see anyone like "wow this just goes to show they should have done the lipsync smh..." like it will make me very sad and feel like my little fan project is being used to put down the thing that i like. you will make me sad :( i think the lipsync adds a hell of a lot, but I also think doing the entire thing frame by frame would too, but that doesnt mean its reasonable lol.
