I managed to squeak through and finish my Halloween short.

It was originally going to just be a little gif, but then i kept adding stuff to it, and then i was like this would be cool with sound, and so i tapped Teravex and Magibauble to help a brotha out.

Kind of a tedious animation in hindsight. All keyframed and all luv. Here's some preliminary work below:

This was my initial rough, when it was just gonna be a gif. I start all my animations at 12 fps. I ended up changing how BF interacts with getting hit in the balls by the cork. But the idea is still there.

Now its comin together. In this version, the frame rate is 24fps now. I thought itd be fun to incorpate GF spilling booze on the server, much like she does when the site goes down. Thought the ng office would be fun. I eventually got rid of the beanbag chair and the beer can became a pumpkin in the foreground.

Now we're getting somewhere! GF almost done, at this point i am starting to change how bf reacts to the cork, still not sure what, but i didnt want him flying across, i wanted to play off the blue balls moment of the game.

After that, i just went all in and just went nuts to get it done, I would say from the version above till yesterday, i worked on it nonstop. It reminded me of the old time trial days, where i knew i had to get it done.

Teravex and Magibauble came in clutch with very little direction, im kinda awful at that but i'm lucky that people are able to take my vague direction and come up with something perfect.
