Contract: If you ask “where is (insert social media I didn’t include)?”, you have just given consent to being called a clown! 🤡

(captions are still in W.I.P btw! it’ll be commentary)
Social media personified is a way for me to get away with making a bunch of anti-sues lol

This is what they all look like as personified people (imo) as of 2020!

That way, their "true age" is up to interpetation.⁣ ⁣ #socialmediapersonified #socialmedia #gijinka #humanization #personification #memes #satire ⁣ ⁣ Yoink it's 4AM on a school night for me rn so idk who is here atm⁣ ⁣ #digitalart #linelessart #painttoolsai #cute (meh i thought it was lol) #lineup #reference #referencesheet ⁣ ⁣ Tag me or include #socialmediapersonified if ya ever draw 'em!

Time:
17-19* hours in total during the span of around 5 days (Bandicam stopped recording multiple times hence the approx.)
…3 hours of it were used for sketching, the other 14-16 hours was actually drawing it. So, that’s around an hour for each character!
…the amount of time it took for the actual video to render and upload is a whole different story 😳😳

Tools:
Paint Tool SAI, Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe After Effects, Bandicam
(i only use bandicam over obs b/c my computer = shit cpu)

The social media have a competition on who has the shittier life because that’s apparently worth bragging about on the internet.

You could say that i did this vid for quick art style practice, but i just did it because i really like this musical (Avenue Q is one of favorites along with Legally Blonde and Dear Evan Hansen:)).

Song (“It Sucks To Be Me” – Avenue Q):

(i’m surprised there aren’t enough animatics for this song (or for the musical as whole)… sure, the musical is pretty old, but i’m sure there’s lots of different things you could animate with its music!)

Cast/social media (in order of appearance):
Princeton – Twitter
Brian – Vine
Kate Monster – Tumblr
Rod – Reddit
Nicky – Discord
(cameo) Skype
Christmas Eve – TikTok
Gary Coleman – YouTube
(cameo) Google
(cameo) Facebook
(cameo) FTC (not an actual character here but just had to mention that)
(cameo) Instagram
(cameo) Amino
Lucy the Slut – Snapchat
Trekkie Monster – 4chan
(cameo) Pornhub

I thiiiink the roles fit quite well, if i do say so myself! Even most of the voices 😀

Tools:
Paint Tool SAI, Sony Vegas Pro

Hmmm… whenever i make a video for fun and want to upload it, i feel like i have to polish it and make everything perfect before sharing. Be it an animation, speedpaint, or simple animatic in this case. But this time, i’m going to own up to it!: this is a lazily made video that i specifically just wanted to do for fun this time without the stress of having to make everything shiny-looking.
Call this one a complete shitpost if ya will, although i will admit that there was some degree of effort put into planning, but just not so much for the art. :p I’m sorry that it’s not some sort of extravagantly crafted animation meme this time, but perhaps we’ll get back into that later! :,,)

Drinking game: take a shot everytime somebody “bounces” (i.e, the screen pans downs then back up very quickly!)
Another drinking game: take a shot everytime somebody has that shadow in the middle of their face or sweat drop thing (i literally do this to cheat certain expressions lmao- just an easy way to show that somebody is pissed bc it’s a tad tricky to do when you lack a few facial features!)

Hahaha anywho, this animatic kind of shoehorns a hamfisted message about social media itself and its late-generation users just wanting to make a meaningful contribution to the world, but that’s kind of hard to do if the only world you’re familiar with is the internet. But it’s a shitpost so i shouldn’t be looking any deeper than the thin grease of a leftover rossarie chicken oops!

Just know that it says phones bad– they’re so bad that they make me talk so pretentiously about them as if i’m not sucked into my computer myself whoopsie poo
