An SMWCentral Cartoon!!!

Link Thread Closed
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST POST!!!

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HELLO!
It's been a while since i gone bye bye inadvertenly, so... what to say?
First, the reason i gone away, but i'll be brief!
I wanted to focus on my drawing skills, first of all. I don't want to hack SMW forever even because, if taken too seriously, it can get frustrating. Don't look at me like that, SMW hacking is fun, but it must not be a life goal. And i think i got it too much like a life goal. then i started to get sick about Internet in general. It wasn't a great time when i left, not only because of exames, school (hooray it's over :D), but even because of the attitude of someone in the community. I won't mention anyone. I needed to rest a little, but it's over i hope. And it worked, because i looked to some of my older posts... i lol'd to XDsomething in general. And what about Pacha in SMW??? Does someone remind it? LOL.
So i decided to log back, but i don't know for how much time. Sooner or tarder later, i will need to do something else: for example, i must see if i can propose myself to draw a storyboard for a TV commercial.
I wanted to log back, but i also wanted to do something of cool (i hope). So Dinomar presents:


Yes, it's a cartoon about SMWCentral. Here you can watch the cartoon!
This is the Youtube description, since with the keybord i have powers i cannot have in real life:

So is this! A SMWCentral Cartoon! A cartoon about SMWCentral, a site dedicated to Super Mario World Hacking-Modding. The cartoon focuses (Spriter) Sonikku who wants to break mountain with his face, and to do it, he must roll the entire valley, but he causes problems to different person who either suffer accidents from them or earns something back. What will happen if Sonikku makes it to the mountains? (and for me, will people like it?)

I decided to make this because i thought how would i act if i would log back to SMWCentral (because i was away). And so i thought to an animation of Sonikku (i dunno why just Sonikku) rolling to a mountain and breaking it. And then i thought to do this.
I used Photoshop CS"num" to do the animations (rough and clean ups) and the backgrounds (clearly), but i used ToonBoom (Animate Pro 2) for building the animations. Toon Boom, the same software used for masterpieces like Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan or the Princess and the Frog (to quote some Disney movies) or series like Phineas & Ferb or The Simpsons. I don't know if it's used for anime too, since Japanese people have their own software. I'm sorry, My Littly Pony: Friendship is Magic is Flash, not Toon Boom (i think).
I was saying. i grabbed some sound effects from the web, then, once exported, i used Adobe Premiere to assemble the scenes all together and then, i exported the video. The only problem with the video is that doesn't have a giant quality: i couldn't avoid the annoying interlacing of the frames in the video.
The short is two minutes long and it's since a month and one half i'm working on this. This is not a super quality short, but i think it should be OK. But the music sucks, but i'm not a musicist.

The protagonists of the short are:
-Sonikku (SpriterSonikku here in Youtube);
-Roy/Fuzzyfreak (meisdddfreak in YT);
-Supertails (supertails61 in YT);
-Kaizo Mario and Kaizo Thwomp (a parody of Kaizo Mario);
-A large crowd (i recognize only the Jacob's character and ZMann in the crowd, i'm sorry);
-Ersanio (namesake in YT);
-S.N.N. (SNN135 in YT);
-Smallhacker (namesake in YT);
-Kieran (SMWCentral creator), sunglasses boo form;
-Other crowds (where i recognize Parabuzzy aka Raibys, Iceguy, and Iceman)
-A baseball boy (From Yoshi's island)
-Smkdan (No youtube, but a SMWC staff member)
-Me (the creator of this cartoon)

Of course there are some cameo appearences. The short doesn't have credits and list of used tools, so i shall write them below.

Animation and Background painting: Adobe Photoshop CS5;
Animation editing and X-Sheet: Toon Boom Animate Pro 2;
Video Editing: Adobe Premiere CS5;
Music; Fruity loops (but the song sucks).

Thanks to:
S.N.N.: for the castle theme from Keytastrophe;
Ersanio (or S.N.N., not sure); Chocolate Anus, a song used for the boss battle in the SMW hack "The muncher Run);
ilovewavs.com for the most of the sound effects;
Whynne, the creator of Trollface, for... the Trollface indeed :] ;
DragonBallZ for some sound effects.

But none deserves so many thanks but:
Scuola internazionale di Comics, Florence, because without it i wouldn't be a future animator (because it's what i really look for).

Anyway, have fun :P


Sorry for the long post anyway. I don't know if this will be succesful, but i wanted to do something addicted to me before logging back again. It's not super quality animation, but i did not care to little mistakes. But according to my teachers too (why i should not show them my animations?) and said it's OK for a free-budget short made by one person.

In any case, tell me what do you think about it.
I could have posted this in the Art Forum, but, for something of unusual, i wanted to post it here in WoI.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: for who doesn't know the Giant Whore joke, here you see where i taken that joke.

2021 EDIT: I have reuploaded this animation as the original youtube video has long since been deleted. Thanks goes to the author Saturn Dog (Alessio) for sending me a copy last year; you can view their current youtube channel here.
Dude, what? Since when have you been back?

Also 19/19 @ video, dat animation.
We need to invent a new infinity just to describe how awesome this video is. Seriously, it looks like something you'd see on TV, it's that good.

As I said a week or so ago when you showed me this on YouTube: it's awesome.

Me gusta.
--------> Don't follow "Find Roy's Dignity", my hack. Because it's pretty outdated. <--------
DoD made an appearance <3

Like I commented on your video, this is simply... too good for words.

I think I know what to use as my new avatar now!

e: I agree with the post below. This is art-quality!
My blog. I could post stuff now and then

My Assembly for the SNES tutorial (it's actually finished now!)
It's almost an insult putting this in the WoI. It really should be in the Art forum because holy shit this is amazing.

You're going to be top of your class if you're planning on pursuing this in college.

I think I need new pants. Seriously this is the best thing I've seen on this site ever.
EVER

Also welcome back.
Sorry, Chuckles. My next baby will be Dinomar's.

Just take me, Dinomar.

Edit:
I think I found me.
That was beyond amazing.
i just lurk sometimes
Nice animation! I really liked the anime style look to it, and the animation as a whole is really good. Also it's pretty cool to see a cartoon based on swmc; I hope you can make some more like this.

The only thing that felt off to me was that the sound effects sounded forced and a bit amateurish. And while I do like cartoons with little to no voice acting (Tom and Jerry comes to mind) if you plan to make future cartoons then it would be fun to hear voices from actual members here. Still, great job here!
This is insanely good.

5/5 pokeys for you.

I don't know if there is a word to describe that... I really enjoyed it!
Complimenti!!

Well, i found a site with plenty of sounds, but it was pretty difficult to find some... and others were just impossible to find (like the rock crack sound for the mountain). And still, i'm not a master of sound effects. And this is a free-budget animation, in a budget production like Tom & Jerry it's normal to find some.
Wanting it, i would have done some sounds of my own. if i had tentacles, i could have used my mouth (like in a making of video i have seen to Pixar: 25 years of animation exibition (in Milan, naturally): take off my cheeks and make "plop plop plop"

That Dwellers of Dischord cameo. That Dwellers of Dischord cameo.



I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
I should get a new layout.

Probably won't, though.

Well the sound effects aren't a major issue; to me they just sounded like sample sound effects that you would here in a "my first video" type thing. However if it is because sound effects are hard to find and since it's free-budget, then it's understandable. And with what you had to work with, this still came out to be really good.

Though I still would like to hear voice acting from other users if possible, as long as you want to make more of these.

wait and see... :(
Maybe my english is slightly improved, but if you hear me speak it in real life... time to laugh :S
I dunno if i will do a sequel of it. Maybe i can do it, but it will not be soon... like the rage comic says: Y U NO LET ME REST A LITTLE?
Thanks anyway for your points :)

Edit:
@Kipernal: effectively, the girl in your layout is just watching the one man band Ersanio, not knowing if to laugh or to cry... :D

I'm speechless, you did an outstanding job. Bravissimo!
I'd happily do some voice acting and I'm sure many others would too.

This is literally the best animation I have ever seen in the history of the universe.



That is damn good... DAMN GOOD. My lord that is incredible. Kudos, man.

Also:

Is that me? Aww, you shouldn't have. XD
