The animation is pretty bad, I don't have a lot of drawing experience on a laptop than paper.

Click below if you want to watch my animation, I aspire to be a animator and eventually began my own indie series.

I Made This! Gadget Pilot Trailer

My animated indie series Gadget is officially getting a PILOT!

And it’s being animated by myself! These are the clips from the episodes.

This is the trailer. It premieres on my YouTube channel next week! I'd seriously love your support on this epic adventure! New episodes will be posted every single Friday. 4-8 minutes in length and I have a bunch of episodes already batched up for you guys. This is my passion project. Something I’m doing all alone with zero help. I’ve worked EXTREMELY extremly hard on these. Months on end.

So I’d really appreciate some support on it.

It’s gonna be an action/adventure series. Inspired by One Piece, HxH, and Steven Universe.

New Show Support an indie animation show made by a 15 years old?

Post image
5 Upvotes

The title is just clickbait xD

But indeed yes, I'm really planning on making my own animation show.

The show is called "Circus of Lunacy"

I have been planned on this show since I'm 14

The character of the image:

Red: Bomi (Ringmaster & Clown)

Blue: Hana (Aerial performer)

Dark green: Cynthia (mood maker)

Green: Clover (A robot)

Pink: Rufus (Magician)

There's a short description about the circus šŸ‘‡

Circus of Lunacy:

Lunacyā„¢ Headquarters

Although it's so-called a circus, Bomi actually only uses it as a place to have fun with her "friends." Furthermore, it stills operates like a headquarters, for example, planning projects (crimes). Bomi (the circus owner) isn't short of money; she just gets excited and happy doing these things with her "friends." Since Bomi is so wealthy and is willing to compensate for anything she has done, the police can't do anything about it.

I'm now working on their voice claims and their full-body standing illustration.

I plan on releasing the teaser of this series in 2028 (after I graduate from high school)

Please comment if you have any questions or any ideas about my show idea! :)))

Discussion How much does a indie show cost?

4 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to the animation and indie show scene so I'm probably asking a question that's been done to death but how much does it truly cost? If I need to be more exact, I want a short film (5-10 minutes), a mappa-ish like style (just inspiration), I don't plan to have a huge range of characters or speaking lines, and maybe more of an animatic. I know that wages and things can shift depending on certain situations, but I really want to turn my project into something! So if anyone has experience in this like this or have worked on a indie show please give advice! Any criticism about working conditions and or common issues so then I can avoid them is appreciated. <3

Hiring! [Volunteer] Backgrounds and character turnarounds

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Heya everyone!

My last post got deleted, even though there are literally posts like mine, and some don't even share anything about their shows besides a basic idea. I don't really understand why mine was removed. I don't want to post anything about my show publicly because I'd rather avoid leaks and discuss it in DMs. 😊 Anyways, I'm trying again because I won't give up!

I'm making an animated show called WILD CODE, and we're currently looking for:

-Sci-fi background artists who can design research facilities, laboratories, and futuristic environments.

-Character artists to create turnaround sheets (I handle all the character designs).Check out the chracters in the post !

Right now we're working on the storyboards and voice lines.

What's WILD CODE?

Wild Code (Weaponized Interdisciplinary Lifeform Dynamics: Containment & Observation Division) is a secret research facility built around one idea: if something can't be understood, it has to be controlled.

Long ago, a small village told stories about a creature called Echo that altered memories, emotions, and behavior. When Wild Code discovered the creature was real, they captured it, renamed it C721, and imprisoned it for research. As its influence spread through the facility, control became stricter, staff began disappearing, and the system kept moving forward no matter the cost.

This is a passion project, so it's unpaid. If you're interested, feel free to DM me!

Discussion I'm afraid that the trailer will create too much hype for the pilot episode, considering that it's really small. XD

I'm currently creating a really small pilot episode, and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to make a trailer that's completely unrelated to the plot of the first episode. The trailer is the main character's nightmare, but it has a totally different vibe and story than the episode itself—well, the nightmare is basically one big epic beat 'em up, XD."

One year ago, I released *It's Complicated*.

Looking back, it's hard to believe how much has happened since then. This project taught me so much—not just about animation, but about storytelling, patience, and believing in an idea even when it felt impossible.

To everyone who watched, shared, commented, theorized, laughed, cried, or simply stayed until the end of Tori & Mal's journey... thank you. Your support meant more than you probably realize.

Here's to one year of "It's Complicated" ā¤ļø

So basically it's about an ex-villain [Law] and his sidekick [Rody] who keeps getting into trouble, and the hero [Cas] is constantly catching Rody almost every day.

Law is retired from a bigger group of villains called the X-Collective who are coming for him after he gets discovered. So now he's being chased by the cops AND the X-Collective. šŸ’”

Yeah I haven't fully fleshed this out 😭
