Inktober Exquisite Corpse

•

2019. This year I joined Inktober for the first time! The first word/day I thought that would be fun to make a small animation just to kick it off but when I finished it I thought that would be super fun to do small frame by frame animations for each word/day.
And to add some layers of unnecessary complexity I set a couple of rules: each animation will start with the last frame of the previous one (like a one-person-exquisite-corpse), each animation will be 3 to 5" long, and can not think more than 3 words in advance. Oh! And do not place them one after another until the end of the month.
Was a super intense October working on this after work. I made it until 17 days! Before getting sick because of the short sleep.
Had the pleasure to collaborate with the all-mighty-duo Facundo Capece & Lola Richter on the music and sound design and couldn't be happier with the end result!

The days & process

As I had to work on this during the evenings after work, there wasn't enough time to do multiple roughs, tie down, before cleaning it up. So I tried to come up with one clear rough that I can complete during the clean-up without adding too much inbetweens.
In addition to that, I tried to keep design details as minimum as possible so the cleanup wouldn't become a nightmare and still convey the idea within the style.
