Duskstar Shine

Haya! As mentioned on my channel, I will soon be moving more away from Mine-imator to work on my 2D animated series APTE*, however, have a backlog of unfinished animations, so here one is!! This was meant to be an In Our Rooms thing, butt, eh. Problems came up and I couldn't finish it on time; this demotivated me, but laity, I've been getting allot more motivation to finish older projects. (Aiming for *A Portal To Elsewere EP:1 to be out by November, to stay tuned for that!! (still looking for voice actors!!!))

Thanks! And ye, I can't do lighting ;-;

haya! This thing's kinda olddd, buttt I thought I'd put it on here because why not It's not public on my channel as the map isn't out yet, but I still want to show it off. It doesn't look like the map will be coming out, so I still won't make it public, buuuttt I'll put it here as it's one of my better animations?

summed up, yup! XD

Yup! A change up to my usual content ? Thanks! ^-^ Spent allot of stressful nights making it, glad it's all done and over now!

A man finds himself lost in an unknown darkness. No people, no animals; only shadows, silhouettes and one long path, with a single sign labeled "Straight ahead". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man!! I'm actually surprised I finished this on time!! I had a month and a half to do this, the first couple weeks spend planning, story boarding, and scripting. Then starting the 1st of October, I started the animation, the deadline being the 28th. 1 month to animate and edit this... Let me advise all you fellow animators out there.. 1 MONTH IS NOT ENOUGH TIME!! Animation takes time, and I know I could have done much better if I wen't pushed for time. It's been very stressful, but I'm glad I'm done. This is made for the "Six minutes in the spotlight" Short film competition for schools. ____________________Mistakes that I could have fixed with more time:____________________ - Around the end, a camera cut isn't instant, causing a wired motion between the 2 joint scenes. You don't see it, but you can notice it. - Sliding legs. This rig is good, but h e l l to animate; sliding legs were a big problem throughout the whole of this, but even after my final tweaks, I still couldn't fix it. - Lighting. Lighting (mainly around the end) looked odd, this is because I didn't spend as much time on it as the deadline was closing it, I made it decent, but it isn't the best. - Sound effects. While writing the description to the uploaded video, I realized I didn't have any sound effects for the ending, but I don't have time to be scrolling through YouTube trying to find a decent effect. - Voice work. The voice actor I got to do this was great and did his role well, however, some part's were too fast / sounded too gruff (like an epic trailer kinda voice). As I didn't have the time, I didn't ask for those lines to be redone, however, if I had the time, I would have ? There are many other mistakes, but those are the main noticeable ones. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Credits~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ___Animation, Concept & script___ * Duskstar (me) ___Audio___ * SharpWind - Audio editing https://www.youtube.com/user/www111614YxxREEPERSx * Jory42 - Narrator https://www.castingcall.club/m/Jory42 * Duskstar (me) - Female voice
