The Making of Knightfall Animated

[Shadowcreator21]

you should do a movie of knight fall.

[edgbarrowwight]

you are awesome, i'd ask you to teach me, but im sure you're busy

[tjmixmasta]

GREAT WORK.

And it seems we may get a taste of the Nightfall arc with the next Batman live-action.

[megamatt53]

my god dude...i hope you got paid for this ???

[redfoxbennaton]

No CGI?

[redfoxbennaton]

So basic I looove it!

[JoeyDeBird]

I don't get it.....Why didn't they have Azrael in the animated series. I mean, they even went out of their way to put Bane in. WTF do they have against Azrael?!?

[sipioc]

Just read book two, very cool

[evanescfan]

awsm. salutations.

[BrandonNielsen87]

I learned quite a few from this video. It's awesome to see someone like you put so much effort in animation. Thank you for the entertainment!! xD

[afterlife2k]

Hello everyone, and thanks for all the kind words. I'm letting everyone know that I've re-posted the Knightfall short, but without audio since Warner Music Group kindly forced my video from being displayed because of the use of the audio track. I think it got processed via Youtube at a higher resolution, so I think it looks a little better than the first post.

[piccolo56000]

amazing dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[standardbearer]

MAN!

HOLY SHIT!

This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen in my life!

Is it really finished?

Is is possible to get it from somewhere?

[falcon731boy]

sympathetic lol?

[afterlife2k]

Yeah, it sounds cheesy, but really, it is, the male chorus gives this sort of feeling of sympathy, especially the closing shot. Unfortunately, without the real audio track, you don't actually get this effect.

[journeyanimation1]

@afterlife2k i know what your talking about i have the soundtrack

[Jagatia]

What animation prgram was usd?

[jcarmona1978]

how can i see the trailer? it says wb took it down

[akira1983x]

i am in awe, i don't even know what to say...

[littlesaiyan]

what is this "The Animation Program"?

[afterlife2k]

I get a lot of requests as to what animation program I used, and I'm not sure if everyone gets it, but I left out that piece of information on purpose. I spent a good solid month searching the animation program that was right for me, and each one will be different depending on the needs of the animator. I know it's a simple question, but I just choose not to answer it.

[TheAnimator21]

@afterlife2k Cant you just tell us what software you used anyway?

[stormbreakercomics09]

@afterlife2k so you don't want to tell us 'cause you don't want us to make animations better than yours, don't you?

[Thegrcornholio]

@afterlife2k So what you're saying is that because you didn't find that animation program easely, others shouldn't either. You ain't gonna get very far with that attitude.

And yes, my English is bad.

[HzrdFilms]

@Thegrcornholio What I think he's trying to say is that he chose not to answer that question because alot of people are too focussed on what program and tools they should be using when really they should be using what they have and not worrying about it (I started with just pen and paper). When the time comes they feel they need better equipment they should research it for them selves and find whats best for them. No amount of equipment will increase your skill, only dedication and discipline.

[mrlunt]

amazing

[PAUL30013001]

Great project! It was fantastic to see those scenes animated, I wish that they'd do a movie based on Knightfall.

[azrael3d]

Thanks a lot for the Knightfall short... I´m a big fan of Azrael, and was the 1st time i see him animated... Simply Great!

[BizarroPat345]

I also agree with GraysonWayne that you should do a "Killing Joke" short. I mean this is AMAZING! Knightfall is my favorite Batman story and I just want to say congratulations on the great work!

[core10120003]

I hope you make more on knightfall. like make short sears on youtube or some other place. that will be so cool. In all the batman cartoons they did not tell this story at all. you will be the first one to tell this cool story. its up to you. but it will be sad if no one tells this cool story. good luck on your work and see you soon.

[TMMWritesLego]

u said the same thing twice, i am glad i finished it and i am glad i did

[afterlife2k]

Actually, that's what I meant. "I'm glad I did it" as opposed to not have even starting it in the first place.

[onvay123]

what did u use for the shading in the animation

[Kelrash]

Awsome skills right there!

What animation program do you use?

[francisa1]

I would even suggest some frank miller if your interested. You got talent. Keep it up.

[sdphost]

Simply amazing, it almost looks like a professional DTV of the series.

[RushedAnimation]

How about posting your old BTAS short? Anyway, this vid is informative. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

[afterlife2k]

I've been wanting to, but all the blacks are washed out. I'll have to adjust the contrast and brightness before I can post it up here.

[RushedAnimation]

Cool. Looking forward to it.

[GraysonWayne]

All I can say is... WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!

You did some amazing work here & I look forward to seeing something new from you in the future. You hv captured the true essence of the story! May I suggest your attempting to animate "THE KILLING JOKE" which also is a story that belongs in the history books as it lays the foundation for Barbara Gordon to become a more integruil part of the Batman Mythos as Oracle.

[BWingCommander]

You should do "The Long Halloween" or "The Man Who Laughs" next!

[jamesface]

your hard work is appricated. its clear this was made with passion, and that you love this. congratulations!

[majoha2020]

make more

[JasonX802]

This is amazing. You should do another one based on a Batman story. Really, you have the talent to fix the batman cartoons these days.

[Daredevilfan182]

Hey man we appricate you putting your hard work into this and I for one certainly enjoyed it. Thanks again and I RAELLY hope you do another soon. Peace

[theinglewoodband]

yoU ARE THE MAN!!!

[TehYoda]

Very cool. Thank you for making this video. I love behind the scenes and especially I love seeing how fan films are made, because I'm working on one. I could tell you put everything into Knightfall just from watching it but now I know you defiantly cared for this project very much. I loved this look into the process and I seriously think you should try to get into some sort of animation professionally. I especially feel for you when you felt like quitting and made the flow chart. Great job.

[Ieatmyfries]

Great vid.

[n3waza]

Looks pro! Nice for portefolio if you wanna get in the business.

[diegomick]

good work my frend... keep making

[leethal59]

wow excellent, knightfall was one of my most favourite mini series of batman

[Gavin669]

dude seriously this was fucknig amazing. You mentioned that the Batman: Knightfall animation was a trailer, dude i would seriosuly pay for the movie if you made it. knightfall by far is my favorite batman novel.

[Dashreddah]

Freakin' sweet! I remember it took a long ass time to actually get Bruce Wayne back after the storyarc ended. All great characters.

[IHS7]

HOLY CRAP! This was F'in GREAT!

[mrlunt]

dude that was soo awesome

[Ryosaman]

Is it a Flash?(macromedia or adobe)

[SoJ518]

What program did you use, this "animation program" you keep mentioning? I'd like to try and do something similar to this.

[UnbornChild]

Wow, simply put: Amazing! I can't believe how much work you put into this. It's unbelievable. What programs did you use?

[600430]

Knightfall is extremely cool....yea i understand how u can lose interest in a project u are doin' because u put so much attention 2 it dat u get sidetracked by other things u wanna do..dat happens 2 me when i write screenplays....nice way 2 stay focused wit all da memorobilia of Batman....

[600430]

Knightfall is extremely cool....

[bnightwing]

shriley walker if iam thinking right passed away last year

[MountainDeW06]

I was thinking about just this type of personal animated film. To see someone actually pulled it off is just amazing. Wow truly awesome.

[bnightwing]

i love the knightfall logo at the end and it sounds like you wrote all this down haha

[afterlife2k]

I was only going to admit to it when somebody pointed it out. ;)

[kNIGHTWING01]

Great job BTAS rules, this would have made a great season for the series. Anyway great job!

[genepsi]

truly admiriable man. Awsome!

[birdman88945]

wow, you are a very talented guy. i found this video to be very informative and insprational.

[VALENTINEproductions]

Dude i wish you could hear me applauding right now.

[linkuei123]

Very nice :D What are the names of the programs you were using?

[jlk2100]

dang homie, that was savage. Someone better offer you a job, props and love for the vid

[dgentz83]

Nice work.

[lechuck96]

This is fantastic. DC Animation should make the Knightfall saga and you should be the project leader.

[carlosvazquez12]

This is so.... WOW! Congratulations, man!

[miks08]

I'm impressed!

[StarDust030]

Yeah great job!

The Knightfall saga is one of the most important sagas!

I would like to do allso a animated movie, witch programms do you have used

to do the knightfall?

movie?

[justinrc]

So weird that I would stunble upon this because I to am working on a Batman:Knightfall animation. I'm taking a different approach but I really like what you've done here. Awesome work. Keep it up and I'm eager to see more and more tutorials like this.

[kleptic]

i'd love to see your approach to Batman: Knightfall

[dpakolypse]

very good work

[RobotWonderland]

Nice.... what programs were you using?

[Hairy43]

Very nice, this comes close to being a tutorial. Could you explain what programs you used and on what system please? I'm an animation and game design student and I'm always looking for new tools to use. Great animation too!

[filmmaker666]

that was cool are you making anymore

[afterlife2k]

Not at this time. That doesn't mean I won't. That just means I have other projects going on right now, that's all.

[phantom52888]

i can tell that you're really serious about the character and the legend that surrounds him. you're the right kind of guy to be at the helm of a batman project. get your name out there! we'd love to see more of your work!

[chrisfischer]

Good job!!!!
