The Making Of 'Bored Animator'

[omghiiiyay]

i dont know how i got onto this????!!!!

[MoviesofToCo]

I tought so because it's a very thick lin for a ballpoint pen

[frankmensingvideos]

Yo must have hell of a vivid imagination to be able to play out that whole scene and remember where every line and object is! Great vid!

[TheSkirmishes]

hey which animation software did you use?

[frankmensingvideos]

@TheSkirmishes Flash, he says so in 0:39

[m4dTUB3]

Im still bored, :(

[colonydude13]

thumbs up if you typed in bored and was still bored so you clicked on this

[MadameIsobella]

I lo e this! It cured my boredom. At least, while it played. Make a third!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blobbythesnowman]

How did you take the white background out of the live video?

[anedominguez]

i get it

[emokittenzzz]

that must have taken painfully long



[emokittenzzz]

its flash it costs £250

[RustomTrayvila]

what kind of thing are you using and where can i download it

[5dGraphics]

@RustomTrayvila I can show u how to get it free

[2ruenuub55]

I was thinking why the pen was sooooooooo awesome

[joeyrules316]

i don't get it! mind show it to us on the editing program?

[Rob18956]

lol im gonna call the creature Fred 8P

[imacake12]

can u tell me how u animated it?

[omfgwtfisthis26]

this is so simple but it would have been very hard to pull off in one continuous shot

[RediiRosii]

WTF I DNT GET ANYTHING ABOUT THIS O.o

[charliepry]

you do know that you only have to remeber whats going on when your hand is in the shot, if you pull your hand out then cutting up the video isnt seen. a simple white background means you can keep the camera roll and every once in awhile pull your hand out and crop sections together. also if you use a color background and use the green/blue screen effect then moving your hand in the wrong spot can simply pushed over to where its suppose to be.

[erikboi777]

then you really have to remember where your drawing each thing huh?

[icecreamcakeandpiex]

So you didn't actually draw things on paper that came to life? you're shitting me!

[brunettevideos]

perfect precision :o

[nvrfrgt3]

i bet erasing the line is the tricky part

[TheSuperhaloman]

I thought it was stop motion! XD

[87clj]

cool

[MrCartoonsongs]

how did you make this

[utubechatroom]

wow!!!

[MyB0neDaddy]

how did he do a perfect circle

[shaq147]

this doesnt really make sense. Its like impossible to remember all that and do it all in one go. And why would u anyway when u take ur hand out, u can just pause the camera and nobody would know its paused cuz its a blank page, then record a second time a do it piece by piece without memorizing the whole thing. exactly like that. wtf

[MrC0okiee]

what program u use and how?

[eckstudios]

wow so brilliant

[bumpoo20]

were u get the special animator?

[twirps25000]

Don't geet it. :P

[AndrewTheEpic]

O sorry just realised nevermind about my previous comment.

[AndrewTheEpic]

.... This is not yours you could mention that you didn't create it?

[PuppiesAreTheBomb]

@AndrewTheEpic its the same person. ignorant much? on the final video at the end of it, it shows something that says like "click here for 'making of' video!" obviously your confused.

[AndrewTheEpic]

@PuppiesAreTheBomb I said again that I noticed just after I figured out. Check before you reply to me. Kthxbi

[PuppiesAreTheBomb]

@AndrewTheEpic maybe you should delete that comment so u wont make yourself look like a wuss?

[PuppiesAreTheBomb]

@AndrewTheEpic are you not listening? i said delete the comment u made that made u look stupid. all of them.

[AndrewTheEpic]

@PuppiesAreTheBomb Just get over it ffs?

[PuppiesAreTheBomb]

@AndrewTheEpic i dont give a fuck

[PlanetPatricksVideos]

how u do it?

[nerdifytheapex]

so cool!

[LilStinkyDude3]

I knew he didn't actually use the pen before I saw this =P

[VintaqeGirl]

What if the pen started to work again?!

[WELLHUNGHIGHLANDER]

what did you use to make this video?

[ThomasJowett]

how did you make the animation?

[LittlePetPeople]

pure anwsomeness

[iLoveVampires962]

Can I name the little creature Jeff??

[cca211]

WOW that must've been REALLY tricky!! Really really awesome!

[Marianis2305]

.....HOOOOOLLLLYYYYYgood memeoryyy!!

[annaviktor20]

what program

please tell me i am looking all over on the internet i cant find it

[Steroidsman123]

awesome :-)

[traceurValtR]

what program did you use??

[point6000x]

why not a greenscreen?

[impercua]

@point6000x hand is too close to the green screen. Too many shadows no matter how much light you use

[arkinman]

how can u se what ur drawin

[guccamain]

@arkinman cause its like the white pads with the pens u can look at the comp screen

[dj02tc5]

did u use after effects ?????

[undeshton]

how did you do that? like what program?

[MrRydusx]

@undeshton flash

[reapergrim1000]

very well done. my congratulations on an amazing video.

[nisseskjegg1]

What program did he use? I Want it :D

[zachary5456]

I wonder what program he used hmm.

[MrScizl]

I'm guessing it is a program to do all of this

[BlueFire678]

This is so awesome. What program(s) did you use?

[dannylloll]

but did you use a program to make things move or did you draw all those?

[TheFameM0nsters]

lol "Confused?" Yes.

[nofoodforyou2]

This is really great. I was so impressed with your prefect lines...

Anyway I thought you drew it on paper then added animation afterward using Flash or AE composite . But the erasing part...i did think you had a blank sheet under much like the way you showed us. Anyway it was really great.

[markunas1997]

what program did u use to make the vid

[lieutnantmaster]

HE DID SURVIVE!!! D= HE JUMPED OUT OF THE PAPER AND TOOK HIS REVENGE :(

[whitewzl]

Lol wow man u got a ton of patience! that takes a ton of skill and imagination to come up with! i enjoyed the vid and i would ahve thought ud use a diff method on making this but this takes a ton of talent! Keep making vids!

[Sidnei1ru]

This false you use flash Good Job!

[dj02tc5]

what software did u use for this like 3d after affects or what please let me know u inspire me to make something like this ya

[impercua]

@dj02tc5 there was no 3D :S

[TheAdmirimi]

how did u make things movee??

[Jkroflcopter]

@catadeluxxe he had to go back and edit each frame to erase the lines, it probably took him forever

[amber88921]

how did you create this what did you use

[Videosnormales]

Wow!

[ConcertsGr]

this is.... unbelievable!!! wow!

[MRkirkyboy1]

sick

[texlyon]

What program?? Pl0x:)

[Jammie2521]

woah!

[catadeluxxe]

What I don't understand, is how Flash knew what was the difference between your hand and the paper?

[mukjong13]

awesome!!

[HellGast5]

Confused? YES!

[antouanakis]

WTF!

i want to do that to!!!!!!!

[Dangrus100]

@antouanakis its not that easy that u are thinking

nice man

[plentypeas]

i dont get it do you use a program???????

[sharlim1964]

ur the creator? then why was the other making of vid in uk?

[kh103y]

n'ahhhhh Mr Squiggly <3

i do wish he lived... brilliant vid!

[ZeraAndZero]

I like this video very much! :)

[krishnaadityab]

hey.. your finished product (final video) is awesome.

but the making is amazing. too good.

how could you manage to pretend drawing on a white paper? i mean.. drawing of the circle.. of exact same size.. great.

and any reason behind... taking the printouts (of drawings.. not animations) and take a video of drawing upon it... later remove the print as you removed the lines beneath your hand.

anyway... real awesome video.

and i love that creature (squiggly).

THANKS for posting the making.

[Sideways8Filmspivot]

Mr. SQUIGGLY IS A NINJA! but now he's dead :P

[Sideways8Filmspivot]

AWESOME

[STxJxMDx97]

thats so kool....

you really need to make more.

[thestackcash01]

what program did u use please reply!!!!!!!!

[mgr11201]

what kind of software or program or product do u use

[SecretlyyNerdy]

WOW! amazing! great job! i could NEVER do that. :)

[Traversablehen]

what program did you use to do the animation?

[nicknack300]

how can you draw so good without seeing what you're drawing?

[teeshalove]

mmmmmmm sonds hard......Maybe I'll give it a try some time... thanks for the tip....

[ElxxxPr3siD3nT3]

its amazing



[TheGameFamers]

how does he know were to put the ruler and pen then?

[momandsyd]

@TheGameFamers he did it fter so the blank spots are the hands and the ruler

[smellenie]

wow. thats amazing

[slkbugs]

what did u use to make the animation part

[boonphoe]

what is the background music?

[theneenjah]

But how did u do the live video with such precision?

[American464]

genuis

[descreto]

This is the proof that hard work can accomplish wonders.

[9150jimmyrano]

how did u make the things go and move?

[TheCreator4]

why did you try to remember it off by heart? just write down a storyboard and read it while you film

anyway how did you get the live film into flash?

[berrygirlxxx]

will you marry me? :P

[jdmcmdj1]

can i creat an animation with paper a pen and a camra and a light lol???? plz answer

[TheJuzMii]

wer can i get an animation like tat?

[Fox8745]

why didnt you just play the live video over the animation? that would have been easier then erasing lines

[DTSbeats]

@Fox8745 If he would have done that, the paper would also have shown, and the paper wasn't perfect white.

Atleast, that is what I think

[Gabumon54321]

@Fox8745 It just wouldn't work.

[nerad1994]

how do u remember where everything is if u arent reallt drawing it?

[JayMoreProductions]

Why did you do it in one take??

[flemish4]

what software did you use for the animation?

[zmanrc1]

i think im going to do a video like this for graphic arts although im going to use adobe after effects.

[theprincessesme]

I DON'T GET IT!! HELP ME PEOPLE!!

[CyberNetTV]

how did you erase the gaps where your hand was without leaving gaps at the edges of your hand? i'm too impatient to do that coz it looks very difficult to do right

[senichikun]

@CyberNetTV I can't answer this as if I knew, but watching the video and this, it simply looks like they drew around the hand/arm and not the other way around.

[fallenxavatar]

i give you props for this, looks hella difficult

[AllanT101]

you had to rub out the lines in every frame?!

I do flash... and from experience I bet that took a looong time!

[TheOverlord573]

cool

[martha368]

*sniffles* you killed the little thing. =[

[SavannahandherSheep]

That's so cool I tried it and couldn't do it...

[tdstudd1996]

wow i work on flash alot and i am much to lazyiy to erase on every frame..

[Fayz168]

Haha... i like it!

[Zyborgmonkey]

can do it using flash :)

[Mizabella1234]

Why are you so determined to kill the Squiggly. If you didn't try so hard, maybe it would be easier. Such a cool vid!!!

[volejnicak]

i still dont know how u do it!!!

[PikolUploader]

Just as I thought :) I was confused first.

[Summzer]

ahh i want a tablet :P

[swordpirate]

It's amazing how you could do stuff like that, really

I once tried to make a short-short short movie.. it's runntime after finishing it was not a minute... I was smahsed down xD

and it's hard to draw in flash that good as you do, reeeaaaaaally amazing work, I love your stuff

[qiman2]

how did you get the alpha to work so well? wouldn't chroma keying work better?

[IllegalMavamaarten]

lol why not chroma-key the white out of the live video, and put that layer ON TOP of the animation ?

you did a very good job though !

[qiman2]

@IllegalMavamaarten

his pen is clear.

[IllegalMavamaarten]

@qiman2 Hmm... yes, but he could have used a black pen/ruler...

[CPHfilms]

whoohoo!!!

[safetyboy8]

ADobe flash?

[bled2nouralive]

But how did you match both the drawing at correct places n correct timing when actually u were drawing imaginarily ? plz let me know is it a pure Guess ?

[flyboy83297]

can you please tell me what program you used to make this

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ

5/5

[SwimDiva5647]

that is really cool but why were you trying to squish squiggly anyway?

[cathjolln]

Wow. Talented. Creative. FULL of life. x

[matilde2408]

really nice and, according to my 8 year boy, Alberto, Squggly did survive... we already don't know how...

[lovemetenderpopski]

I like it!!!

[samanthajosling]

what program?

[liquidtripper]

A I knew this was how it was done :D

[ICTboredom]

you should have your own mini tv series in which squiggly gets in a different creative situation. :)

[FlyingZetex]

i knew that when i watched the real vid :D

[jake23224]

that's very hard imagining where to put your hand at the very right time 5/5

[TouchOfHeavenOx]

haha thts so smart (:

[ZeeGrimReaper]

I would never have the patience. Like the video and the finished product very much!

[cardmagician72]

5/5 great

[rcatstott]

[Crapfacepalm]

[furbie3580]

Squiggly should be his name...I WANT ONE!!!

[koobz21]

why not just play the live over the animation?

[coolcam262]

why didnt you do it on a green screen? That would have been so much easier!

[blekmaster12]

@coolcam262 agree

[msgazelle33]

nice

[ButterDog101]

You are AMAZING!!!! wow!!! bravo!!!
