A new show has started on DisneyXD called Motorcity by Titmouse Animation. I know what you are thinking Disney yeah right but trust me this show stands out. The style reminds me a bit of Genndy Tartakovsky’s style with a splash of classic Hanna-Barbera animation combined with a bit of nice crisp computer animation plus the colorist does amazing work on this show. Below is a quick animation preview the studio has provided so we the viewer can see how a scene goes from rough pencils work to composite.

Random Sketch 4-30
Sigh it’s tough getting back into real sketching of the human form. As soon as I was done I noticed a ton of errors with this sketch. Oh well sketch onward.

Making of “R” by Takuya Hosogane
I stumbled across this video on Motiongrapher called “Nihonbashi Koukashita R Keikaku”. The below excerpt is taken directly from the site.
“Takuya Hosogane goes anime in this new music video for Jin, but keeps his sly sense of humor. Takuya says that he wanted to create a piece that referenced the experience of browsing through a tumblr of animated GIFs: gloriously random with awesome moments of synchronicity. And, in a true win for the Internet, someone’s already taken the video and reblogged it on tumblr it as an animated GIF.
Special thanks to the incredible Maya Rosewood for help in translating our discussion with Takuya.”
The original video can be found there but what interest me is the “Making of R” video. As a lifetime fan of animation watching the key frames the director envisioned really brings to light the behind the scenes process that goes into a project like this.
