I’m glad to announce that the newest Unfriendly Giant cartoon, Safety Day is online and ready for your viewing pleasure. I hope you like it.
Some things you might notice are different in this new cartoon.
- The pitch of the soundtrack is lower. For some reason, I sped up the soundtrack of the first cartoon. This one is much closer to the original pitch.
- The lip synch is more involved. Instead of open, closed and “Ooo” shaped, I’m using eight different mouth shapes to corespond to the vocal sounds. The result reminds me of Davey and Goliath.
- There are more “smooth” transitions between scenes. Though, you the viewer might not notice it (unless you remember the old scenes from the preview.)
- I’ve used more “animation within animation” in this cartoon. For example, the eyes of the characters are animated elements attached to the larger element of the characters’ heads. They keep rolling around all the time, even when the cartoon is over.
Anyways, it was a lot of fun to work on, and now that it’s finished, I’m a little let down—I guess I’ll have to start on the next one. Any requests for UFG 3?
As of 9:00am, June 1st I’ve put up a new version of Safety Day that includes some more Easter Eggs.
