Description CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ANIMATION IN ACTION <3

It seems that a few papery partners of mine have gotten themselves in a pickle in this strange looking room.

Hokey doesn't seem to mind the situation, but someone else has other ideas on his mind...

This is basically parodyfilled mess of Paper Mario and DDR Mario Mix schenanigans I put together for a school animation project, where we were allowed to do basically ANYTHING in Aftereffects as long as we used a variety of effects and techniques So I revived a few of my paper fan characters and decided to have some fun

While I'm REALLY happy with the result of the whole thing, I wish that I hadn't had to cram to get it finished in two days. xD;; I literally just got the thing rendered a half hour ago a;slkfnasd;f

at the same time this project forced me to get around to something I've wanted to do for a LOOOONG time, which was animate something Paper Mario styled in After Effects. Ever since I first tried the program there were so many functions that I thought were absolute perFECT for that series' art style :,D And it's really cool seeing some of these guys come to life.
They're a liiittle bit speedy to fit in time with the music, but now that I know this actually works I'd love to try making some faux gameplay for Fortune of Fear somewhere down the line

knowing me it'll probably take another year before I even get around to that

The song that I used had to be cropped in some places to fit the 1 minute time limit for the project, so if you wonder why it sounds a little different- that's why

Ah, this is really neat! You got the paper effects down really well and it's all in sync with the music. Very adorable and entertaining. A really creative way to showcase your characters x3

Thanks so much! After Effects ended up being so perfectly suited to the style I almost didn't believe it at first, so I was really glad that this school project gave me the chance to test it all out!

Now if I actually find the time and patience down the road, I'd love to animate some 'fake' gameplay and environments for Fortune of Fear this way xD The only matter being that I'll have to draw up all the props like here and set up the stage in 3d-ish space to move around the character rigs

JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY

Piranha oh my god that was wonderful. The characters were seriously well animated and the piranha plant tossing Mermor into the screen was fucking hilarious.

Wonderful job as always! I reeeeeeeeally wanna get more into animating now.

Haha thanks! x,D That was one of my favorite parts of the whole thing, cause the sort of 'stilted' movement he had sliding down the screen sort of happened by a happy accident, and worked really really well to animate the rest of his character rig with. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
