The Groom's Life So Far: Animated Best Man Speech

Years ago my twin brother Paul and I agreed we'd be eachother's best men when the time came to get married. And whenever we decided that I always knew I wanted to do something special for him when it came to my speech. This is the result.
Congratulations Paul and Cheyenne.

(for those of you that don't know me. Dont judge me based on the drawings. I had only a couple of months to do a 6 minute short in the evenings. So I couldnt spend as much time as I would have liked.)
(why do I always apologize for everything I do?)

God I hope Paul and Cheyenne loved the heck out of this. If someone ever did something like this for me, I would be completely speechless! There are few opportunities in life to do something this incredibly awesome and I think it's great you were able to make it happen and let them know how you feel. Good work man!

@brantholeman Thanks so much. The speech went over REALLY well. The whole room was in tears but laughing at the right points. Although it was way more work than I had anticipated it was so worth it when no one could hear the jokes because they were still laughing at the last joke yet switched to tears at the end. Thanks again for the great compliment. Feel free to send it around

not just a very well narrated story but also a great example that ppl. dont need renderman or arnold to move the audience . you defenetly can with some simple lines!

i like your work and can't wait for more.

@Caccaduu Thank you so much for the really nice comment. I would've liked to have spend a bit more time on the design and drawing. But I had to get a 6 minute short done in 5 weeks. So I actually just started animating

at the beginning and just kept going with no planning, storyboards or anything. just a recording of the speech.

So I never knew what I was going to do for the next shot till I started animating it. Interesting process. HAHA. But I'm glad that it turned out. Thanks again.

[JstGoinForIt]

that was really good. what animation program do you use?

[stodoe]

@JstGoinForIt Toon Boom Animate. Thank you for the compliment

[JackandSally4ever]

That is wonderful. Paul and Cheyenne remind me of my parents with how close they are. My parents have been married nearly 25 years. Here's to a strong 25 for them, and many many more!

This is amazing. Actually made me tear up towards the end. As a fellow animator I can appreciate how long this would've taken. MAXIMUM respect to you, good sir. Keep up the brilliant work.
