For one week, Monday to Friday, we&#8217;d create an animation using Grease Pencil based on the word or phrase of the day. This is extremely hard, given that most of us involved have day jobs animating, each day would mean working on our Grease Off entry after an already full day&#8217;s worth of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was my entry for the final day of Grease Off 2020, the phrase of the day being <strong>Violence in the Extreme<\/strong>. I&#8217;m an advocate of story over style, so for this entry I wanted to put my money where my mouth is and put telling a story first and foremost. I&#8217;m a big fan of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DhQ8dvk98hM\" target=\"_blank\">Fancy Soup<\/a>, their really gritty short monologues using very basic animation felt like a perfect animation style for telling a story within a very limited amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a lot of fun creating this animation, learnt a lot about working with Grease Pencil and even managed to hone my voice acting skills a tad \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/violence-in-the-extreme-300x300-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/violence-in-the-extreme-300x300-1.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/violence-in-the-extreme-300x300-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Me, having a smoke while telling a tale<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My final entry for Grease Off 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1921,"template":"","filters":[28,39],"class_list":["post-1915","portfolio-item","type-portfolio-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","filters-animation","filters-personal-projects","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
