Tried a little experiment yesterday and it was actually alot of fun (kind of stressful tbh) but it kind of re-ignited the thrill of making stuff just to make stuff, quick iteration, and spur of the moment ideas. You feel ALIVE.
It started with just tweeting, hey i wanna collab, must be done QUICK. Then @snackers sent me a msg asking whats on my mind.
I wasn't sure really, so i was like ummm... what if we split the canvas in half and you draw on one side and i draw on the other and then i'll smush them together after a few hours.
Here's a summary of the conversation:
Me: so im thinking, you pick a side, right or left. and its an eating contest.
Snackers: so I just animate myself eating?
Me: you / your character, whatever really. what would be fun to eat
Snackers: hmm what am I in the mood for
some spaghetti and meatballs
Me: ok spaghetti with one giant meatball on top.
Snackers: ah yess
And that was it, after a few hours, we joined the files, I added the fluff at the beginning (ready set go), and a simple bg and titles and we were done.
It's alot of fun to see the final product. It aint going to win no Grammy but it shows two approaches to a problem, two different styles, solutions, and just raw energy.
I want to continue to explore this concept more, it kind of reminded me of the old Time Trial days.
If you'd like to be part of it, keep your eyes peeled on twitter, they by nature are kind of spontaneous.
Feel free to drop me note if you have suggestions or you want to learn more
