A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!
Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

This entire animation is contained within this single image!
Each frame is given a unique grey value and then stacked. It looks like a depth matte but it contains temporal information instead.

As a huge New York Style Hot Dog fan for years, felt compelled to recreate the poster in a high resolution and managed to find the original photo used in the texture
Many thanks to folks from VGPC for help with identifying blobs, especially Prominos and TBemme

I will not not outsource thinking to a computer that can only guesses at what I probably want.
My decision making is what produces my product. Every decision builds and refines the work until I have something worthy of being hired to create.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

I was reading Drops of God on a flight into O'hare and had a moment of inspiration.
All rigged up with Dominik Ruckli's Match Size Modifier capsule. Plus a procedural meniscus. #C4D #Redshift #AfterEffects

A quick BTS of the wine transition.
Dominik Ruckli's match size capsule keeps a cube at the right size and position at the center of the wine mesh. Then I boolean them.
You can see a plane showing the tracked footage FOV parented to the surface. I morph between the two cameras!

C4D Tip. If using the Point xpresso node with a primitive object, use a child correction deformer as the object input instead of the primitive. It won't work otherwise.

Akane Banashi is incredible.
How do I explain that a plain storytelling performance is the hypest, most satisfying reveal after months of build up?

Iteration = time to build, rethink and refine existing material.
Change = new parameters that require new solutions/script.
Change does not build upon ideas, it swaps them for new ones, demanding everyone involved in the process to react and restart based upon this new premise.

This is a wonderful post explaining how to make animations feel "right" (or why sometimes you don't need to animate at all). 👇
