The Start of a great Epic
We were just playing around, i stand by my belief that sloths can donate 1 toe to my hot pot. They don't need it anyway. Grrrrrrrrr
So yeah around +20 days ago, the noodles animation was discussed and approved by @zeroooc. As such i went missing for almost a month to finish this craft.
Testing out new features i haven't tried before and losing brain cells as i struggle to get the Audio Waveform in shotcut.
Overall it took me around +60hrs spread between a couple weeks. Granted a good chunk of it was spent planning, editing and figuring out how why adobe want artist to suffer.
Prepare yourself. Today i make Cupnoodles animations. Tomorrow i start my world conquest!
Also if your here just to get the Gifs and emojis for your discord server. Go ahead and skip to the links section.

Base Colors
Lighting and Shadows
Effects + Filters
Using the Noodles as a example, pretty much the same thing through out the entire animation timeline. Also i didn't tween in this project sooooo all the frames are hand-drawn! Torture
Rexxie from Splinterlands
It started with a simple sketch, followed by the base colors. If you could tell, she is based off the color palette of Rexxie. Hhaahah it looks odd without her hat.
For the lighting and shadows, i tried to minimize them as much as possible and add some glare to make it look shiny. And it looks cooler with a dark background such as discord. Unless you use light mode........ Why?

After i create my assets in adobe animate, we move on to the editing phase. Typically i can do all the transitions, effects and other stuff within the program because
- I can just draw and animate it
- Using a dedicated drawing program has more freedom than a video editing program
I would only use a video editor, when i need to mess with the audio or i need some crazy effect that's too time consuming to animate it by hand.
As such the editing software i prefer is shotcut!
Shotcut is a Open-source free to use Video editing software.
As you can see from the timeline, there are different tracks, filters and other stuff. The 2-most important parts for this animation is.
-
Audio Dance Visualization - Adjust the object within the timeline in sync with its audio. *I made it so that when it gets louder it becomes bigger. This was applied to the rings
-
360'Equiretangular to stereographic - Originally for 360 edits, but i needed a bouncy circle waveform. So i Frankenstein morphed it to fufill my purposes. Its the circle waveform you see at the back.
Rings
Circle Waveform
Links and other stuff.
So yeah i guess that's about it for the animation process. UwU im trying to make it shorter and easier to read, unlike my previous format. Feel free to get the file and edit it however you like. Im too lazy to get all the possible gifs and emojis.
