How to eat your apple

[Elodie]

Another animation from Erick Oh :

Totalement fan !

[ZigOtto]

surealistic ...!
what does he drink (or smoke) at breakfast ? ...
because just eating apples doesn't make the same effect to me !

[Elodie]

Yes indeed. His apples seem really special

But I love how every elements are moving ! So rhythmic and fluent !

[chatbraque]

What I really enjoy, is the size of characters…
It looks like animating a "Jérome Bosch"'s painting… and it might jolly well be a "style" in itself (?!)…

… far from the hollywoodians camera moves that 3D allows… a good direction to go for "pure" 2D animating… really !
I love it.

(about the apples, well, it's sometimes tricky… ask Snowwhite… or Eva ;o))

just in case, if you are in contact with him, (and if he don't care to share of course),
I would be curious to see any WIP material (story-board, preliminar sketches, making-of, ...)

[Elodie]

I will ask him

[Paul Fierlinger]

So was this really done in TVPaint?!

[Elodie]

yep

I asked him concerning the WIPs and sorry Zig, Erick doesn't plan at the moment to upload them on the web.

It's just with mushrooms, you need to choose the right one :)

[chatbraque]

Very fluent indeed…
If it's entirely done in TVP, the magic philtre must contains a drop of rototracking, or something ?

[Paul Fierlinger]

Frankly, I don't believe it was made here.

[chatbraque]

Are you thinking about 3D ?
… dynamics for the falling piece of fabric ?

( it smells "vector" to me… maybe a bit of flash, or "rototracking + re-painting" might do the trick ?… plus talent, of course !)

[Elodie]

Hey Elodie! Thanks for sharing.
I get so many questions these days about what software I used to animate this. And of course I mention about you guys! Wow how am I possibly gonna make films independently if it was without TVPaint.! Thank you thank you God bless you guys.

No 3D, no vector, no rototracking. Just talent

Other Erick oh' movies made with TVP Animation :

... No 3D, no vector, no rototracking. Just talent

Talent, + thousands hours of work !
I'm curious and would like to know at what size he uses to work, I mean his main project's size where he's animating ...?

ps :
... and does he draw on a cintiq or on a tablet ?
