00:40:52 ◼   ► guessing you know I keep them on their [TS]

00:40:53 ◼   ► toes and then he released the Star Trek [TS]

00:41:04 ◼   ► the been in the books these two videos [TS]

00:41:06 ◼   ► are actually quite similar to me in some [TS]

00:41:09 ◼   ► ways because both of them are are not so [TS]

00:41:12 ◼   ► reliant on my drawing anything like the [TS]

00:41:16 ◼   ► America box part two is largely stock [TS]

00:41:19 ◼   ► footage and then the star trek video is [TS]

00:41:22 ◼   ► entirely the artwork of Knut who I [TS]

00:41:25 ◼   ► worked with on several projects before [TS]

00:41:27 ◼   ► including the Lord of the Rings videos [TS]

00:41:29 ◼   ► and the single transferable vote video [TS]

00:41:31 ◼   ► so both of these have a very very [TS]

00:41:34 ◼   ► different style but I I wanted to look [TS]

00:41:37 ◼   ► to today and think like a when did I [TS]

00:41:39 ◼   ► really get started on the star trek [TS]

00:41:41 ◼   ► video and I went back into the slack [TS]

00:41:44 ◼   ► that i use for people that I work with [TS]

00:41:46 ◼   ► and I got the first concept drawings [TS]

00:41:50 ◼   ► from Knut on october 11 for the star [TS]

00:41:54 ◼   ► trek video was the very first time I had [TS]

00:41:58 ◼   ► approached him and I asked i want to do [TS]

00:42:00 ◼   ► something on Star Trek give me a couple [TS]

00:42:02 ◼   ► of visual styles and he dropped [TS]

00:42:04 ◼   ► something in the slack [TS]

00:42:05 ◼   ► I mean what is that now like four months [TS]

00:42:07 ◼   ► ago thats lot long time ago from from [TS]

00:42:10 ◼   ► the current day so these things are in [TS]

00:42:12 ◼   ► in progress for quite a while so I mean [TS]

00:42:16 ◼   ► this answers one of the questions that I [TS]

00:42:18 ◼   ► had which is would you consider doing [TS]

00:42:19 ◼   ► more videos in this style because this [TS]

00:42:22 ◼   ► animation are my word is so fat [TS]

00:42:26 ◼   ► it's just superb yeah can do does an [TS]

00:42:30 ◼   ► amazing job without a doubt i mean [TS]

00:42:32 ◼   ► that's that's why I like working with [TS]

00:42:33 ◼   ► his depiction of you i love i love it [TS]

00:42:38 ◼   ► you know like just that [TS]

00:42:40 ◼   ► the giving that character more life and [TS]

00:42:46 ◼   ► making it more human [TS]

00:42:48 ◼   ► it's not an easy task to take something [TS]

00:42:50 ◼   ► that is a stick figure and then say how [TS]

00:42:53 ◼   ► are we going to represent this in a more [TS]

00:42:55 ◼   ► fully fleshed-out way while still [TS]

00:42:58 ◼   ► keeping what is recognizable about it [TS]

00:43:00 ◼   ► but he totally succeeded I gave him more [TS]

00:43:02 ◼   ► so than that taking something that is [TS]

00:43:03 ◼   ► iconic in its own way linked into the [TS]

00:43:06 ◼   ► people that are familiar with you and [TS]

00:43:09 ◼   ► like your work the the way that you [TS]

00:43:12 ◼   ► portray your character in the video is a [TS]

00:43:15 ◼   ► massive part of it and he really evolved [TS]

00:43:20 ◼   ► that character who are just excellently [TS]

00:43:25 ◼   ► I i think it's fantastic that like the [TS]

00:43:28 ◼   ► life that he brought to it like one of [TS]

00:43:29 ◼   ► my favorite parts is when you're crying [TS]

00:43:32 ◼   ► on sofa like in the fetal position and [TS]

00:43:36 ◼   ► it's like that is such a great depiction [TS]

00:43:38 ◼   ► yeah I just thought the whole thing was [TS]

00:43:41 ◼   ► was fantastic [TS]

00:43:42 ◼   ► that right there is a great example of [TS]

00:43:44 ◼   ► like okay so people wanted to like a [TS]

00:43:46 ◼   ► white is uses different artwork like why [TS]

00:43:48 ◼   ► didn't you do it yourself in your own [TS]

00:43:49 ◼   ► stick figures for both the star trek [TS]

00:43:52 ◼   ► video and for the domestication video [TS]

00:43:55 ◼   ► they they had the same thing in common [TS]

00:43:57 ◼   ► of man if I was going to sit down and [TS]

00:44:00 ◼   ► actually try to draw out these videos in [TS]

00:44:03 ◼   ► some way there are many parts where one [TS]

00:44:06 ◼   ► I just simply wouldn't have the artistic [TS]

00:44:08 ◼   ► ability to do so and to where both of [TS]

00:44:12 ◼   ► these things just require a level of [TS]

00:44:14 ◼   ► detail that you could not do in stick [TS]

00:44:17 ◼   ► figures right it's it is just simply not [TS]

00:44:20 ◼   ► possible and this is the same reason why [TS]

00:44:23 ◼   ► I went to commute to do the Lord of the [TS]

00:44:25 ◼   ► Rings video because when I was going [TS]

00:44:28 ◼   ► through that when I thought like oh let [TS]

00:44:29 ◼   ► me do with a video about Lord of the [TS]

00:44:31 ◼   ► Rings I want to talk about tents and [TS]

00:44:32 ◼   ► elves and Men and hobbits and all the [TS]

00:44:34 ◼   ► stuff and I realized really quickly like [TS]

00:44:36 ◼   ► you know what you can do this with stick [TS]

00:44:37 ◼   ► figures man like it just there's not [TS]

00:44:40 ◼   ► enough that looks visually different and [TS]

00:44:43 ◼   ► so once again for the star trek one when [TS]

00:44:45 ◼   ► I was thinking about doing this it was [TS]

00:44:48 ◼   ► that it was the same thing all over [TS]

00:44:49 ◼   ► again [TS]

00:44:50 ◼   ► I was originally going to have much more [TS]

00:44:52 ◼   ► of the crew and talk about specific [TS]

00:44:53 ◼   ► examples like that's how it began as [TS]

00:44:56 ◼   ► like I can't draw stick figures that are [TS]

00:44:59 ◼   ► obviously the different captain's like [TS]

00:45:01 ◼   ► that's just not possible to do in my [TS]

00:45:03 ◼   ► usual style so it's like I have to bring [TS]

00:45:06 ◼   ► on someone to to do this and so that's [TS]

00:45:08 ◼   ► that's what are some of the original [TS]

00:45:09 ◼   ► concept artwork was I had commute giving [TS]

00:45:11 ◼   ► me like various characters like how [TS]

00:45:13 ◼   ► would they look what know what are we [TS]

00:45:14 ◼   ► going to have this look like on screen [TS]

00:45:17 ◼   ► because there's no way i can adequately [TS]

00:45:19 ◼   ► with stick figures have to Rikers and [TS]

00:45:22 ◼   ► just as the as the project went on I [TS]

00:45:26 ◼   ► eventually realized like oh I i liked [TS]

00:45:27 ◼   ► this artwork so much that can I came to [TS]

00:45:30 ◼   ► an agreement where he was going to just [TS]

00:45:32 ◼   ► do all of it like we're just going to [TS]

00:45:35 ◼   ► make this one hundred percent your [TS]

00:45:38 ◼   ► artwork up on the screen and I think it [TS]

00:45:40 ◼   ► came out really well if it did I loved [TS]

00:45:43 ◼   ► it like that the the actual topic i'm [TS]

00:45:45 ◼   ► not a star trek guy em but you know I [TS]

00:45:49 ◼   ► understand enough about I've seen the [TS]

00:45:50 ◼   ► movies who but for me it wasn't really [TS]

00:45:54 ◼   ► about the topic [TS]

00:45:56 ◼   ► it just all its design and just the way [TS]

00:45:59 ◼   ► that everything looked it really really [TS]

00:46:01 ◼   ► made it work it really worked in a [TS]

00:46:04 ◼   ► different way to to how your videos [TS]

00:46:06 ◼   ► normally do it was very different very [TS]

00:46:08 ◼   ► refreshing I think and I i really [TS]

00:46:10 ◼   ► enjoyed it i wish that they could be [TS]

00:46:12 ◼   ► more like it but I know how hard it is [TS]

00:46:14 ◼   ► to do you know yeah well i mean this is [TS]

00:46:17 ◼   ► this is one of these things because when [TS]

00:46:19 ◼   ► eventually came to the conclusion of [TS]

00:46:21 ◼   ► like oh I can have someone else do all [TS]

00:46:25 ◼   ► of the artwork instead of trying to [TS]

00:46:26 ◼   ► think of mixing this with my regular [TS]

00:46:28 ◼   ► style and and his drawings it's like [TS]

00:46:30 ◼   ► I'll let me just entirely have someone [TS]

00:46:33 ◼   ► else do this [TS]

00:46:34 ◼   ► my initial thought was like oh well this [TS]

00:46:36 ◼   ► is going to be a huge time-saver isn't [TS]

00:46:38 ◼   ► it like that the NFL is like no it's not [TS]

00:46:40 ◼   ► actually here's time-saver there is the [TS]

00:46:42 ◼   ► potential for it and and the reason that [TS]

00:46:44 ◼   ► I think that is looking up mining your [TS]

00:46:48 ◼   ► working relationship and how that's [TS]

00:46:51 ◼   ► developed because we collaborate on this [TS]

00:46:54 ◼   ► project and overtime arm we've learned [TS]

00:47:00 ◼   ► each of his preferences in the way that [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► things should [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► done like I think that if you willing to [TS]

00:47:06 ◼   ► put the time and effort into it could be [TS]

00:47:09 ◼   ► possible that somebody could do the work [TS]

00:47:11 ◼   ► for you [TS]

00:47:11 ◼   ► I especially if you know the thing that [TS]

00:47:14 ◼   ► your best and the thing to the longest [TS]

00:47:16 ◼   ► is the writing you know then you could [TS]

00:47:18 ◼   ► focus completely on that and have [TS]

00:47:20 ◼   ► somebody else help you out with the [TS]

00:47:21 ◼   ► artwork so we're thinking about this is [TS]

00:47:24 ◼   ► like okay the way that I was currently [TS]

00:47:26 ◼   ► working was we were going back and forth [TS]

00:47:29 ◼   ► about the art you know he was sending me [TS]

00:47:31 ◼   ► stuff almost all of which was like it's [TS]

00:47:34 ◼   ► amazing do more other we like have a [TS]

00:47:35 ◼   ► back-and-forth about how things should [TS]

00:47:36 ◼   ► be represented and and and the rest of [TS]

00:47:39 ◼   ► this and ultimately in the end what I [TS]

00:47:43 ◼   ► got from Knut was about a hundred [TS]

00:47:46 ◼   ► drawings vector drawings for the various [TS]

00:47:51 ◼   ► scenes but even then the the additional [TS]

00:47:55 ◼   ► thing which takes up a huge amount of [TS]

00:47:57 ◼   ► time is that he is not the animator i am [TS]

00:48:01 ◼   ► still the animator and so even though i [TS]

00:48:03 ◼   ► have these drawings because they're [TS]

00:48:06 ◼   ► vectors each drawing can be broken down [TS]

00:48:09 ◼   ► into the various elements and then I am [TS]

00:48:12 ◼   ► animating the various elements so [TS]

00:48:14 ◼   ► anytime something moves on the screen [TS]

00:48:17 ◼   ► anytime something fades into fades out [TS]

00:48:19 ◼   ► or has a wobbly effect or whatever like [TS]

00:48:21 ◼   ► i am doing all of that and so what I [TS]

00:48:23 ◼   ► have sent you that you can see it will [TS]

00:48:25 ◼   ► be in the show notes for the listeners [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► is what the video looks like on my end [TS]

00:48:31 ◼   ► to animate when i'm working within Final [TS]

00:48:33 ◼   ► Cut Pro and so while I start with a [TS]

00:48:38 ◼   ► hundred drawings in the end there are [TS]

00:48:41 ◼   ► probably somewhere between you know [TS]

00:48:43 ◼   ► maybe 200 to 400 animation elements of [TS]

00:48:48 ◼   ► where I'm saying okay this transition [TS]

00:48:50 ◼   ► happens now this special effect comes on [TS]

00:48:52 ◼   ► screen this image transitions into this [TS]

00:48:55 ◼   ► other image this guy moves from point X [TS]

00:48:57 ◼   ► to point B hears a sound effect that is [TS]

00:49:00 ◼   ► going to play underneath what's going on [TS]

00:49:02 ◼   ► the screen so even though all of the [TS]

00:49:04 ◼   ► artwork was done I was shocked by how [TS]

00:49:08 ◼   ► much animation work there was still to [TS]

00:49:11 ◼   ► do [TS]

00:49:11 ◼   ► even after this point so if if I was [TS]

00:49:15 ◼   ► ever to try to complete [TS]

00:49:17 ◼   ► we outsource all of this is like I would [TS]

00:49:19 ◼   ► need an additional person to be the [TS]

00:49:22 ◼   ► animation person like it's it can't just [TS]

00:49:24 ◼   ► be the artwork because it's a bit [TS]

00:49:28 ◼   ► surprising you think like boy a hundred [TS]

00:49:30 ◼   ► images it sounds like a lot but if you [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► just have the images on the screen over [TS]
