The Little Mermaid: The World Above (animation)

[FTWGamerGuy]

It's pretty good. but.. the face at 0:20 kinda freaks me out xD

[Cerberuswaltz]

Well, it fits very much so, but I still see too many of her faces borrowed from the movie. Still, the fact that you were able to alter them or animate them into different ways is pretty good. Nice to see someone keep up a passion for animation.

[disneydreamerdancer]

this. is. double A-MAZING!!!

[Yilvinamera]

Wow! This is AMAZING!!! You did so much work in it!! O.O

[AMGmusic]

Awww, this is so enchanting!! I love your style of sketching, it's got a real edge to it. Ignore anyone who is being negative about what you've achieved. I'd love you to animate a video for me!!

[MisticalMermaid]

0:29 she looks beutifull :D

[jennycayeni]

2 WORDS LOVED IT!

[emphoto2003]

I think this is amazing! Great job!

[habahashmotifyifyful]

i agree with jockey1471 this is crap, check mine out @shehreen23.

[LilGirlRed2011]

VERY good

[pencilwitch]

While I get what you're trying to get across here and I applaud you for doing what you've done- this is not an animation. This is at best what's called an animatic (and it's a flipping AWESOME one)!

You've basically got a storyboard here that's been put into film with sound which gives the animators an idea of what needs to happen in each frame (set to the score and VO). You've done a good job on this bit.

[clusterchuck]

@pencilwitch thx! yea this is def like a work in progress sorta animatic and not to be taken too seriously hahaa

[TheDragonlily]

so good to sing

[katjamomcilov00]

Please , make more :D

[naxeee]

nooo mameesssssds

[Jockey1471]

That was CRAP have you seen the little mermaid?! I had the give it one star because you can't give none but still have it showing!

[clusterchuck]

@Jockey1471 j christ FUCKK OFF hahahaa i was like 16 when i made this gimme a motherfucking break lol

its not professional, it was a practice animatic story board made by a dumb teenager.

and to be honest, looking back on this, i do think it looks like shit haha please dont take youtube videos this seriously, its weird lol

[dessakat]

@clusterchuck YOU WERE 16!!!?????????? OMFG DUDE UR FING AMAZING!!!! I kinda wanna see your work now OwO

[themangakawolf]

@clusterchuck don't listen to all the haters!!! this is very lovely!!! doing animation is hard and u did a very good job! even u think this is bad, i think it's wonderful!! <3

[SerenityM16]

@clusterchuck There's some parts that I'm like, eh, what's going on with her smile. But over all I appreciate the hard work you put in it and hope you only grew.

[Ashestoashesjc]

@Jockey1471

Please go attempt this and see how difficult this is. Please.

[PLMRTW]

@Jockey1471 Yeah, you probably could do better, o wait YOU DON'T EVEN OPLOADED SOMETHING!

[DestinyBell864]

@Jockey1471 wow...aren't you rude!! LOL don't speak if u think u can do better.

[1LuvadaMovies]

Great job! That was super cool!!!

[LedSledJoe]

I watched a little mermaid video and I jizzed in my pants

[LittleMermaidFan2010]

tht was  good

[Siapatu]

wow. nice

[egriz]

I'd actually say this is an animatic.

[UltimateSelenafanDS]

COOL!

[cgadoury16]

This is really cool! There is always room for improvement, but I know that I couldn't have done what you did here. Good job. Keep practicing and working on your craft!

[SparkTheFox16]

The pictures are beatiful and yet the video is long! i love it! its so good i can find the word for it! this will take me my whole life to make something like this ^^

[TinkIero]

This is really quite cute and a really good attempt at something really time consuming and complex.

[EliteParanoid]

This took you a year and a half to make?...

[blinkybinkysinky]

SUPER!!!!!

[ddrmaxman]

While I'm not impressed by the drawing, I have to say that this is still quite stunning. Especially when you think about how time consuming animation is. . . I'm actually taking up 3D animation because I can't draw 2D very well! XD

[DisneyDreamMelodies]

it looked kinda creepy but I loved the beginning! And the lettering as well! How long did it take u to do this?! I can nvr make something like this

[DarthxErik]

wow! i've always wanted to animate something. This looks like a lot of work and looks really cool!! well done.

[sammielover22296]

this is rly good! 

[DisneyClassicsFan]

That was wonderful. Great job :D

[FB90D]

I loved it,

I think you have got boared from people telling you that frame

20 looks scary XD

It's really well done,and people who tell u r a bad artist or so,

they just have mental issues ;)

[KuromiCupcake]

YOU'RE AMAZING!!! Get a job at Disney & tell them STOP MAKING MOVIES WITH COMPUTERS AND GET BACK TO DRAWING!!

[ashmchildress]

the voice sounds like one of the girls from wicked (has totally forgotten who lol)

[DragonWarri0r]

Very impressive for something done in high school. A few of the frames even look ALOT like the Disney Ariel.

Good job!!

[TheJonasBieberSprous]

não

[5uzyD4wg]

That is effing awesome! I make animations too, like this, although not Little Mermaid stuff. It's wonderful :)

[danielle19820227]

you what will be really cool if you did this one song. the song of if only

[LittleMermaidFan2010]

awesome

[ejay201]

0:21 ITS ORgana the bad women

[xRedheadgirl]

did that take half a year? i could do that in a week, srry. but it's pretty!

[CharlesButton66]

awesome ^^

[kenchington123]

that was incredible

[scarletmoonfall]

Thats realy gorgeous animation! Wish i could do that! Xx :D

[karatekid12365]

The ending animation is great! Especially where she swims away. I can't believe you did this in your Junior year of highschool.

[hatorigirl101]

0:23 ... scary as all hell. but good job... o.o

[inakamoto]

Holy Freakin-Stein!

Awesome work!

[Leapfeb]

what software did you used in making this?

[Kumiko632]

This isn't utterly breath-taking but I did take an animation class and i understand the work that goes into this. Had i not taken this class i would've found this mediocre but seeing as I have i find this amazing! Great job! I understand completely about how long it takes to make these! I made one that took me three months working everyday and it only turned out to be a minute and a half with no sound whatsoever. truely remarkable work here!

[clusterchuck]

@Kumiko632

LOL thx! im in art school now and jst finished my freshman yr, but i was a lame junior in high school wen i did this hahahaa not profesh lol

i would love to redo it now and i see sooooo many things to fix but it was jst experimental and jst for fun

[mew3335]

what animation software did you use

[miakayukisukunami]

really good work ^^

need more frames, but it is very good animated

[SmallTownGirlsx]

Looks nothing like ariel.

[kphantom14]

Wow, great animatic. :]

[sinthaplove]

the second picture the chin is like a boy.

[MusicVideoManiac900]

well it wasnt perfect. but nothing original is ever perfect. but i still think you did a great job!!

[9Lili5]

this is really good, great work!

[endlesslesboz]

Sierra Boggess can do a good jodie benson imitation i never knew the diffrence

i would have thought this was a disney storyboard.

[gazornim]

It looks like an animatic XD

well.

[disneyprincess90]

wow I liked it a lot!!

[Me1992born]

it looks a little funny that the hair at her forhead doens't move in the wind but very good job!!

[jsininger]

u did a very good job!!!!

it may not be the best i admit... but u did very good...i couldnt do that if i tried

if anyone disses ur artwork...take it as helpful suggestions or motivation to work harder!!! Nice job!!!

[WinguTheWhiteLioness]

Eww! She looks so ugly!

[AreYouFilmingThis]

scary

[skychiz]

good.

but half a year srsly...

[Solitemel]

You worked on this for half a year?! You've got more patience than anyone I know! I would tie myself in a knot if I had to do all this! Awesome job!

[worddefender]

awesome

[ChibiMel001]

You're probably not looking for a real critique on this, but no one gets any better with praises all day long. First of all, the look of it (drawing wise) isn't very polished. Its seems like you didn't bother cleaning up the line art. As far as the animation goes, It would have been nice to see more than key frames.. There are barely any in-betweens and hardly any lip syncing. If you did and add a little shading then this could be really good. However this is a good try.

[clusterchuck]

i really wasnt going for perfection here. its jst supposed to be key frames/storyboarding. I kept it loose because storyboards are loose interpretations of a scene. This is not an animation

[scarletmoonfall]

@clusterchuck Well sorry i think its PERFECT lol Xx :D Love it!

[eraserchewer]

@clusterchuck uhh u say in the title its an animation..

[Gernam12]

@clusterchuck Then why do you write animation in the title?

[IPunchaUInTheFace]

@clusterchuck "The Little Mermaid: The World Above (animation) "

Lolwut.

[joshua9able]

oh stop moaning about it , i bet you wouldn't slave away at your comp 4 a year and make an animation , i would have given up after a week!

[papfles96]

very nice!

[tabrismacbeth]

The average video runs at 30 frames a SECOND, so...yeah.

-Tabris

[gobais53]

awsome you should be proud!!

[animaa18]

the drawings are perfect, but the animation isn't fluently yet. but keep it up, it's so beautiful. (i don't have any experience whatsoever with animating, but i can see it's very hard.)

[sailormoonrox1]

Amazing, keep it up! ^^

[KouRingo]

wow... i adore how she looks like sierra. Of course, she looks like Ariel too, but it has more of Sierra's face... really nice

[gaft24]

Very nice!!!! I love the song... I always tried to visualize the scene... thanks

[kelshiejaga]

I really love this! Great job!

[xomegalooluvsuox]

[woodjbw]

I've been looking at your stuff and I am a fan now. You will go on to do great animation.

[hatersmusthate]

wonderful!!!!

[gabrielle64]

Were you learning the animation app at the time you made this, or are you just a perfectionist?

Half a year is a long time! :)

Anyways,you have some nice story telling. Keep making more!

[clusterchuck]

[GuroPia]

0:22 - 0:48 - 1:12 - 1:22

LOL

[Xac0303]

I'm learning Animation here as well.

It is 24-25 frames per second. It is hard work, to be honest. though you can limit it to 12 frames and such. Now I know how Animators feel: Stressed.

[genieshanu]

wow

[NellieMarie223]

OMG! that was so amaxing! Awesome job dude!

[flamingstar01]

lol she looked crazy when she jumped out of the water. awesome job. :)

[joeychris25]

WOW WOW THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ythc05]

THAT WAS AMAZING! You should do the entire musical!!!!!!

[ckat13]

Wow, lovely job. I'm sure it did take you a long time, but seriously great.

Not spamming, but I do know of some animation projects you might be interested in. Voluntary, and great for experince.

[clusterchuck]

cool! lemme know! :D

[ckat13]

Well, one's got it's own youtube channel, and there's a link to the site on their page. Their name is silverskystudious and the project if called Wolf.

The other is a lion king fan project called Circle of Life, you can just google skysoldja for that one.

You might have heard of them, if so sorry.

[PrincessCutie555]

thats amazing like how did you do that!!!!! well i know how but still. you did an awsome job kutos and congrats

[Nati961]

Łałłłłłłł ! Cool taż mam talent do rysowania ! xD

[LaViBohm]

very nicely done.

[conebe]

Thats cool. which software did u use?

xx

[Normer93]

Very good. I like the song too.

I myself enjoy to draw as well, and I wonder; did you draw for hand or on the computer?

[Deneeira]

Oh god...this is amazing... 0.0

[lozluvschocalot]

Wow! I agree- I like 1.15-1.20 the best (that's the best representation of her, I think). Bravo!

[PrincessAriel07]

OH MY GOSH!!! I loved it you did great I saved it to my favorites already!!

[RentBoheme]

Great!

[1yelloo4]

i love 1:15-1:20

[vel629vet]

Wow, very good job! I can tell this took a lot of hard work.

[fara40000]

this was always one of my favorite songs from TLM :) great animation!

[AndyistTot]

Good job. Animation is hard. You're Ariel is not on model with Ariel, but its okay because you added a unique look to her. Its like a stylized version of her.

In what format did you draw this? Did you do it on paper and then scan it in?

[1WILLIAMSLEDDFANN]

That was absolutely beautiful.

[Lovely60s]

very gooooooooooooooooood job!

[LisavanHarmelen]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooow iv got no ather words

[fiesaku]

[sapphirestone99]

This was awesome! You have quite a talent.

[typicalweirdo77]

amazing!

[ajrich1790]

This was very well done, id love to see more! =D

[Mzprezlee]

i love this,

im dying to see this on broadway,

i always love your work :)

[spi114]

I absolutely love your legally blonde "so much better" video, but you can really see how your skills have developed in this video. And Ariel is my all time favourite disney character, I'm glad you've done her justice! Keep up the good work!

[threedaysmollyx]

shes like anerexic

[inakamoto]

Dang!!!

[merman124]

this is the BEST

[elizabethlevinson]

wow. that is amazing! That musta taken a lotta patience to do! Keep it up! Kudos!

[Jarodm13]

Wow! I WISH I had the patience to do something like this! I respect you!

[cupcakecommotion]

Really good, but at :23 she looks scary skinny!

[cupcakecommotion]

P.S., I'm not saying that It doesn't take a ton of work to do something! It was amazing!

[Jarrod005]

WHERE ARE THEY HEELIES AND PLASTIC WAVES?

jk.

I love this and Sierra and the show.

[clusterchuck]

o hahaha for a second i was like, whoaa is this guy fur real???? !! haha
