Animating a letter by IDKHow, this is one of my favourite Brobecks songs and I am very much obsessed with the new idkhow version :D I have been working on this since gloom division was released and have finally finished it so enjoy <3
I just recently started learning Toon Boom, and animation in general. I had this idea while listening to the Centaurworld soundtrack for the 100th time. Hopefully you enjoy this little short!
It's been a while since I animated anything more "complete". I still struggle with finding my own style and conveying ideas through visuals the way I like it, but I think I reached some understanding in this little project. Hopefully I will have more opportunities to animate longer pieces in the future.
The song is Further (Andante appassionato) by VNV Nation (and the Babelsberg Film Orchestra)
sorry if cringey or it has a crappy quality i don't have professional animation and editing tools, I'm sorry
It's pretty much complete but I'm not sure if I'm gonna add something in the end, I tried my best I started animating in the night and then completed the next day. I'm not very skilled animator but I hope it looks decent

DIPLOMA ANIMATION
2022
I'm ready to show you my diploma animation based on ATL tracks 🔥 6 years of university studies have finally come to an end. And yes, you understood correctly: I made teachers listen to rap on defense 🤙🏻
The topic of my graduation thesis: a series of gif-illustrations based on the musical compositions of the artist ATL (Sergei Olegovich Kruppov)
The general concept of the final qualifying work directly echoes the ideas and moods of the chosen artist, whose musical compositions were to be illustrated. “Adaptation of a person to the gloomy through his transformation into beauty” or “Adaptation of a person to the world through the author’s interpretation of the environment”, both of these formulations quite accurately convey the atmosphere of the chosen artist’s work, and the desired mood of the final thesis.
Without a doubt, ATL is relevant not only for its modern sound and presentation. Despite the cheerful dance motifs in the arrangements, the Russian rap artist constantly touches on the acute social topics of our reality, talks about human nature, raises difficult existential questions, reopens old wounds and describes gloomy inner experiences that are well known to our generation. At the same time, he skillfully turns it into a bewitching picture of metaphors and references, which is completed by a competent and unobtrusive interweaving of the Old Slavonic style in vocals. Thus, the songs of Sergei Kruppov plunge headlong into the heavy atmosphere of the Russian hinterland, but so dear, familiar and in many ways fabulous, aesthetic in its own way. In its originality, ATL is one of the few performers who currently manage to accurately and smoothly convey Russian authenticity, which the audience has a demand for, given how Russian music for the most part tries to fully adopt the Western style and is rapidly losing its uniqueness and originality.
Thought I’d share the animated short film I made for my final year at university. There are of course a lot of things I’d change if I had the chance to do it over, but in terms of story and how much work I got done, I’m very proud of this. So if anyone wanted to check it out I’d really appreciate it (:
It’s weird being done with full time education, I thought I would be burned out but honestly I’m so inspired and already working on a new design project for fun. I think critique is insanely important but it’s also a relief knowing what I work on now is entirely for fun; makes me feel more comfortable and like I can really push the boat out with some of my ideas.
