A fan animated project / Subbmissions: CLOSED

Hi! I want to make a moomin reanimated and I was wondering if you could give me some tips on organizing that kind of project.

Hey! I'd be happy too! The first thing you should know is the more shots you have the longer the collab will go. I recommend starting small if this is your first time hosting a multi animator project(like a song or a portion of an episode). Also make sure you keep a list of shots and animators working on them as you go(I use google sheets to keep track of everything). Making a discord is helpful so you can contact anyone and see updates, also its a great way to meet new people and other animators can get in contact with other animators. But if discord gets to confusing to keep track of, email or Dm's might be a better choice to get in contact with someone.

Also making deadlines is important because after the deadline has passed and you haven't heard back from one of the animators, it's important to message them to see were they are in their progress. That way you can gage how much time someone needs and you can extend the deadline for them. If they don't message back in awhile it's time to reassign the shot to a new animator. It's common for people to forget what projects they work on especially if life gets kind of crazy, also it's a project that people should do for fun, it always makes me sad to reassign shot to someone else but it's for the best if you want to keep on track to complete the project.

Hosting big collaborations is a lot of work but it's really fun! If you do feel a little overwhelmed handling so many shots and animators, don't be afraid to ask a friend to help you out.

I hope this was helpful, good luck with your reanimated!

All of the shots have been claimed!

Thank you all so much for your emails!  Hopefully we will be finishing up this project in June! Thank you all for your patience and support! 

Shots are back open!!!

Hello everyone, we had a few drop outs and now we have at least 16 shots left until this project will be complete. Our new deadline for these shots to be finished is May 30th. If you can make this deadline and would like to apply, please send your demo reel and the name credited under to moominreanimated@gmail.com

Trying to match those sound effects felt impossible at first but after hours of finetuning it almost matches. Sniff still needs to walk a little slower and his upper body isn’t animated yet but I’m getting really close to finishing this collab project.

Shadeless vs shaded. I will decide which one to use once I’m done hand painting the textures.

All of the spots have been filled!!!

Once again, all of the shots have been claimed, thank you all so much for applying! We are now one step closer to finish this project
