The Boros Animation Blog

Here is one last look at some of the process that it takes to animate a cartoon of this magnitude. We see now that all our characters are more or less where they will be in the final, and with the exception of a few backgrounds and a couple specific sequence animations, this is what the complete episode will look like! There are many reasons why something like this may take so long, but besides producing graphics, animation involves a certain amount of programming knowledge.  If you can see in the video at 4:36, "Quiet Mother Fucker in a Hoodie's" left hand in the background is appearing to have a twitch, and it's because the programming of the symbol pack is being told to cycle through all the frames within the pack, as if it were it's own animation on loop.  This is sometimes the desired effect, but in this case, we just want his hand to stay still. The way this happens is when we build characters initially.  We don't always know how our character is goi

Just checking in to show you the progress!  Full cartoon will be available soon!  Thanks for your patience! © Smirk Studios 2019

Here's what scene 1 looks like now that our characters talk, blink, and move: More to come!  The next scene is going to be very interesting because there are a lot of characters with speaking parts, so we will be looking at some really dynamic interactions between them as we kind of set the stage for The Boros Episode One!
