I would like to share with you the story of my personal project on YouTube and hopefully it will be interesting and maybe even inspire some of you
Please forgive me for my bad English, it's not my native language.
Here we go:
Some of you already watched MDI via YouTube, some of you still never ran into it.
A few words about MDI for those who are new to this:
MDI (Mr Dan Insane) is a personal project I produce on my free time, I'm using a style that I like to call "cheap animation" it reminds that old good "shaky/wobbly" simple outlines, used to be on good old days when I was a kid.
The idea was to produce short animations that I want to create for my own fun and not be limited by ideas or "client requests".
If you're working for projects for different clients you might ran into this issue that the client wants you to make something that you don't really like... (as an artist) but you must do it in the their way since you get paid for it
All the process of producing MDI project made by myself (One Man Production) if it's the animations, designs, voices and soundtracks, and I do this whenever I have the free time.
When MDI got started I didn't know where it will go, but it start to get bigger and bigger at YouTube, and thanks to this series YouTube even made me a Partner which was one of my dreams since I always wanted to work with YouTube and create my own content.
These Days MDI Channel at YouTube have about 8,500 Subscribers, and it's keep on growing every single day!
Subscribers are the most important goal for a YouTuber, even more then number of views because it's the basics for true fans of the creator, means whenever I upload a new video, My subscribers will get an email and probably watch it.
As bigger the MDI Projects gets the more people start to download songs, buy shirts, my soundtracks, etc... the support is unbelievable!
and the amazing thing is that every single fan have his/her favorite character from the series. You can see some of the Fan Drawings of the characters at the official MDI's Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/MrDanInsane (under photos).
it's so great to have fans that believe and support in something I started from nothing, and hopefully will be a full movie (short) one day.
I'm planing to work on a short of MDI for the fans since it's been requested many times during the last few months.
There is already a main concept, storyline of the characters, it will not have only stupidity but also action, horror and of course... nonsense.
The only thing is... I have no idea when I'll have the budget to make such thing, so it's only a matter of time...
I hope that you enjoyed my short story and experience, if you have questions I will be happy to answer whenever I can.
Keep on creating and make your dreams into animations.
Now lets watch some of MDI Latest episodes and collabs,
ENJOY WATCHING !
MDI Webisode #23 is dedicated for anybody who's having a birthday, the other half is a tribute to one of my favorite YouTubers (There are many YouTubers that I really like watching) - so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
MDI Webisode #21 is VERY RANDOM, if you like total nonsense... you may like it:
This one is a collaboration with a Sivan (c-van) who also known as KARTIV2 on YouTube.
We've enjoy making this together:
The next one is a Promo-Like short for the fans, it was made as a joke.. but some people still think it's a real movie, and the hardcore fans request this to be a real movie:
The next short was made because of the many messages that I receive every single day!!!
The most common question that I receive is: " WHAT SOFTWARE DO YOU USE ??? "
I'm not kidding, I receive about 20-30 messages a week with the same questions from people around the world!!!
And it drives me crazy because even when I do answer, the questions continues... but I guess that's normal and I understand this as a very curious person.
People are convinced that if they will have the right software, they won't need anything else but click a few buttons and BOOM ! You've got an animation made.... so I made this as a joke, but it seems that some people still don't want to believe it and asking for the software, NOW I'm getting even more messages !!! (eventually... the joke was on me hehe)
What you are about to watch is FAKE... but it's every LAZY Wanna-Be-Animator's Dream, Enjoy
And here goes the edited short: " I Killed Time " ...very short, stupid, and also I have a mistake:
it supposed to be "represents" ...my bad
