Hi @jillustrations I loved this post so much! Mocafurbs are adurble, totally adurbs, I have all the lurb for them. I think of 2d hand drawn animation as a dying art so really cool to see it still being taught and practiced (yeah yeah I know you said you can't find work in 2d animation, end up doing 3d, but just that you did this at all, even for school, is so cool!). I loved seeing the glimpses at the behind-the-scenes work that goes into even a short 2d hand drawn animation like this. So impressive. You are also a terrific writer and the post was put together so nicely.
Your post has been nominated by a @curie curator to be featured in an upcoming Author Showcase post on the @curie blog. If you agree to be featured in this way, please reply and:

You can check out the previous week's Author Showcase to get an idea of what we are doing with these posts.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
This really means a lot to me, as my main goal on steemit is to bring animation a bit more into the spotlight and hopefully get people interested in the thing I love most in the world by writing informing, educational and hopefully interesting articles about this modern artform. ♡
Yes 2D isn't very mainstream anymore, and it's tough to get a job in it at the moment, but it's very far from dead! (hmmm.. another post idea perhaps? haha)
And.. just... wow. thank you so much. I'm very critical of my writing (and my art XD ) so to hear that my writing is good is butter for my ego :P
I would absolutely love to be featured in one of your Authors showcases, I just had a brief look at your link and I'm truly honoured that you feel my post is worth including. These are some seriously top knotch posts. (I know what I'll be doing all day tomorrow... checking out all the awesomeness ♡ )
Please feel fee to quote/include anything you like.
You make us #steemit-austria “Gang” so proud Jill!!!
This is one of the best articles, I have ever seen on steemit and This since June 2016!
Go Girl!
I fell in love with those furry balls 🌷
Wirklich toll und außergewöhnlich, was Du da machst.
aweeeeeee Thank you @mammasitta ♡ ♡ ♡
That is high praise indeed!
I shall strive my best to keep more good content coming! ;D Though I don't have that much more animation in store haha bit of a time consuming art after all.
vielen, vielen dank, schaun wir mal ob ich nicht Österreichs erste richtig berühmte animatorin werde hahahaa das ist jedenfalls der traum.
also nicht "berühmt" unbedingt aber Disney-Pixar ist das ziel! ;D Und soweit ich weiß gibt's da noch keinen Österreicher :P
Hahaha I believe that's probably because it's a direct translation of a phrase I say in German XD I am not a native speaker after all, and borrow from German quite often. :P
And thank you~~! ♡
actually, I'm afraid I can't find you on Discord for some reason :/
I'm a bit of a noob with that too, do I have to be on a certain server to find you?
my Discord name is also @Jillustrations
I just wanted to have a brief chat about what sort of statement from me you'd be looking for exactly. :)
Huh. I can't seem to find you either :( I honestly have no idea if there are different instances of Discord on different servers, but previously any time someone had said to find them on Discord I could just start typing the username in the direct message search and it would pop up, but I am not seeing a @Jillustrations. Feel free to email me, same username as here with ye olde gmail appended.
I kinda like your "little devils" .. I imagine this is quite fun for you ♦♦ Your Love ♥ for your #ART really comes through.
What a wonderful #Animation short ! Watched it all the way through, and appreciated that it featured Cats e.g.
==> "Yes, I'd be interested in a slightly more in-depth view of the different stages of creation."
As far as Length, well I was glad that you went in DEPTH as to "Persistence of Vision" & the Muybridge photograph sequences !
Found it Noteworthy when you explained that the Single sketches were 'put together' with a compositing software ♦♦ Will check into that.
P.S. - You surely were lucky you found an in-house Sound Designer ! It came out well (Will share this via a Re-steem) - You EARNED it !
☻☻It's nice you got to add yr Voice to the masterpiece, too ♦♦ Kind of like a signature!
I'm glad you liked it. I have a few posts planned of a more in-depth view of how a shortfilm is made, by popular request :D so check back occasionally, there will be something coming within the next month. ;)
Yeah, the School had a resident Sound Designer whcih was super lucky. He was a fricking beast too, because he did ALL the sound design for ALL the student shorts in both classical AND 3D animation. That's an insane amount of work to still keep the quality up. I have a lot f respect for that man.
Thank you so much for the Re-steem ♡
much appreciated!
Wow!... this is so great... an insight story of the animator herself, explaining the process and showing her beautiful animation... Great job @jillustrations!
My animation student will learn a lot from this. Your concept art and character designs are great. Your motion wonderfully applied to Animation principles... and we can feel your passion through your animation.
I'm liking this post very much and will resteem it in my blog!
Thanks for using #steem-cartoon as one of your tag.
Glad to see your post in this community.
Cheers!
Thank you! :D
wow, thank you for showing your animation student! :D
I'm planning further explanatory posts about animation in the future so make sure to check back if you're interested ;)
all the best to you and your student, & thank you so much for the resteem ♡
Yes! I was invited by @zord189 to use the tag :) Thank you for having me ;)
Ich bin echt hart beeindruckt, nicht nur von dem Ergebnis, also dem Kurzfilm, sonder auch von der Arbeit, der Motivation, der Hingabe, der Kreativität die du da reingesteckt hast.
Auch die Geschichte und Beschreibung der Mocafurbs, wie viel Gedanken du dir dazu gemacht haben musst :3
Ich hab bis jetzt noch nichts resteemt, aber ich muss sagen, das hat es sich echt verdient.
aww dankeschööön! ♡
Es is immer voll schön wenn die harte Arbeit, Herzblut und Schweiß , die man in ein Projekt steckt anklang finden ♡ und dann gleich SO VIEL LIIEEBE hihihihi
Thanks for the valuable showcase of the animation process, practical reading, pleasant and a beautiful result. This is the kind of stuff that is worth not only being read but also saved in favorites for future reference!!
OMG! Are you kidding me... Mocafurbs are beyond adorable... I almost cried at the point when Penny left the one at the tree... please confirm 2 things for me?
1.That she does have it in her backpack at the end
2.There will be a sequel very soon
and 3) OK, can you confirm 3 things for me
3.I can adopt a Mocafurbs from somewhere?
In all seriousness, brilliant post and I for one would love to see the process broken down into "bite sized" posts :)
The amount of sacrifices and effort that you put in for your animation without passion, it is impossible to accomplish. It was great the curie noticed it for what your hardwork. All the best and don't let your passion die down as you continue to head for greater success!
Thank you so much @fun2learn!
It definitely means a hell of a lot, getting this recognition from them, and making it possible for me to reach so many people with this film ♡
Definitely haven't lost the fire yet ;D (and it's been 5 ish years since I made this film.. omg. time flies. )
thank you for your well wishes, they're super appreciated ♡
First of all, you created a successful movie. When I watched the film, I remembered the book by Anna Llenas Vocie of Spain. I absolutely recommend reading it :) I wish you continued success. Pinar.
oohhhh "El Monstruo de Colores" are super cuuuute! I love it, thank you for showing me. ♡
unfortunately there don't seem to be a lot of english translations of her picture books :(
Hi there Jill! I LOVED THIS POST! you're amazing, and I want, no sorry, NEED one of those cute mocafurbs here with me ♥ They have won me over haha. I am absolutely reesteeming this post, because it surely deserves all the recognition in the world, it's such a beautiful project.
Me personally would love to know more about the stages of making a short film, since I'm studying graphic design and I'm interested in animation.
The post had the perfect lenght, it's really cool that you were able to show us how it's done, even you on your workplace (or home haha).
Thanks! ♥
Hahahaha! awweee thank youu~~~ ♡
I swear to god I need to market those things somehow. And get plushies made or something. You have no idea how many people (women and men, interestingly) go: "OMFG I WANT ONE" when I show them this film hahaha
For now, they're copyrighted. But I haven't had time to really delve into trying to make something more elaborate with them. Hopefully one day soon.. ;D
Cool stuff! I'll think about planning a series of posts on "how to make an animated short film" then.
Hmmm... this will need to be planned well because, depending on the medium, the process differs somewhat... hmmmm... * grey cells working furiously already * XD
Are you interested in a particular medium? (hand drawn, cut out (done with adobe flash or toonboom harmony), 3D?
I'm super happy you enjoyed it and didn't find it too long. I always have trouble keeping it short. I'm a very "wordy" person and when I write something, the trouble is also, during the writing I tend to come up with tangent thoughts and more ideas and then the thing totally blows out of proportion. hahaha
Breaking it up with images and photos helps somewhat though.. XD
I'll only have time for these long ones on weekends though. Took all day to put this together..
Really love what you're doing @jillustrations! And your short film! Like what @thepaperplane said, ' I NEED that MOCAFURB'. Should seriously merchandise that little fella. Keep up the good posts. :P Looking forward to see more from you.
Thanks a bunch buddy!
I super appreciate your constant support! ♡ ♡
Hahaha will hopefully manage to merchandise the critters some day. but so much woooork~~ nyohmahgawd haha
Will do my best with follow up posts! thank you~~ ♡
No prob :) I’m just a steemit noob trying to get a foot in the door. Take a sec to check my stuff out when you’re free! Until then keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing your love to us. It might have been a short video but I truly enjoyed it. Love those mocafurbs, so cute! 😄 I knew it might have taken you a lot of time for this and the work is so much appreciated. Upvoted and followed you for more. 😄
This is very inspired about traditional 2d animation ..we in malaysia still struggling to build up again 2d animation industry. No more traditional proses.it is because of technology has changed.what you share it makes me touched.Thanks for sharing all of this things.One thing i have to admit it... your animated short film are awesome.. :)
Thank youuu~~~! :D
hahaha yeah I should really merchandise the critters. There seems to be quite a demand for them hahahaha XD
Thank you so much, I'm so happy people like it. ♡ there's a lot of my heart in this post and even more in my film, which took me 6 months to make, so it means super much that this post exploded like this. no I'm not crying
Bam. Na Servas!
Mocafurbs for the win!
I'll let the other people do the speaking for this one because the quality speaks for itself. :)
You deserve it!
Thank you for posting! great stuff and great sound to go along with wonderful animation! Grats especially for finding that elusive joy in the work you do! More animation!
haha thank you very much!
I'll try and post some more things, but animation is very time consuming and this is the longest and most elaborate 2D animation I have, unfortunately. I work in 3D now, so not much time to draw!
But there'll definitely be lots more animation related content coming so keep a lookout ;)
Amazing! Hard to understand how much work gets put into a project like this until reading such an in depth post, I definitely have a new appreciation for your line of work :)
aw sweet thank you Ali!
That's really awesome to hear because it's one of the things I'm aiming for on steemit. kinda give people a bit of a glimpse into this amazing art form, and just what it really takes to make all those cartoons, animated features, and vfx heavy films that everyone just kind of takes for granted now.
there's insane amount of craftsmanship and skill behind these things and even the "lowliest" cartoon is crazy labour intensive to make a reality.
I hope to give a bit of a glimpse at how all the magic actually happens ;D ♡
Love this so much, those Mocafurbs are so friggin cute!!! <3 <3 <3
Thank you for sharing, not only your fantastic work, but also the process.
Congrats for the 400, you sure as hell deserve it :*
Thank you so much! ♡
and I totally am proud of this film ;D worked my butt off!
Thank you for the follow and upvote!! I hope I'll prove worthy of it ;)
i'm speechless!!..2d animation at its best!!..i cried watching this..haha..your animation so smooth and really enjoy to watch!!..glad you post this short jill!!..thanks
Really enjoyed the video. The mocafurbs really did a number on that hurt finger, but it was worth it. Something about the lines on the tree bark looks very whimsical to me.
thank you!
yeah, drawing every day for 8-12 hours will do that to you O_O but then I've always pressed down too hard with my pencil so, really, it's my own damn fault. lol
Thank you!
Yes it is indeed a lot of work. this short took 6 months to make!
And this is just a very rough summary of how it was made too. I might do some more detailed posts on the process of making a shortfilm in the future :)
thanks, but you do realise that if you keep shamelessly self-promoting on random peoples posts you're eventually going to get down-voted quite heavily by someone with a lot of SP, yes?
Spam and self-promotion is severely frowned upon here. Try and get attention a different way my friend. This does not make me want to try your app...
Hey mate. I dont have to promote this app. And I dont even own this app. And pls correct your word shamelss. I am just giving you another platform where you can publish your article too which is based on design alone. And excuse me that I am also and designer and I know what to promote and what not!
I sincerely apologise for any offence I've given. It's just the wording of your comment resembled a lot of the "self promo comments" that inevitably float around articles which make it past a certain earning point. And when you're going through your replies one by one and come across enough of those, it doesn't take much to trigger that "ugh" feeling.
Now I read it again, knowing what you just told me, it sounds completely different of course but I didn't know that at the time.
Still, I'm very sorry. You meant well, and I misunderstood completely. Many apologies! :(
well the scanning isn't very interesting, it's literally just that: scanning.
though it is a special scanner that scans very quickly, and there's a program being used that automatically arranges the pages in an image sequence and orients them according to the peg holes at the bottom of the paper to make sure everything aligns.
Compositing.. well it's an whole other beast, and I'm not a professional compositor. Essentially what happens is that the backgrounds and animation gets coloured, Background layers & animation layers all get put together "on top of each other", camera moves are added, parallax, if there is any, and effects, if there are any. The sound design is a whole other job that is done by our in-house sound designer and I don't really know much about that.
I am however planning a series of posts that are more in-depth about how animated short films are made. So check back occasionally, it'll come :)
haha no problem, I don't have patience for a LLLOOOOOT of other things. and even with animation I occasionally need someone to kick my behind.
also, we need more animation appreciators than we do animators! ;) otherwise no-one would have a job.... hahaha
Hi @jillustrations I loved this post so much! Mocafurbs are adurble, totally adurbs, I have all the lurb for them. I think of 2d hand drawn animation as a dying art so really cool to see it still being taught and practiced (yeah yeah I know you said you can't find work in 2d animation, end up doing 3d, but just that you did this at all, even for school, is so cool!). I loved seeing the glimpses at the behind-the-scenes work that goes into even a short 2d hand drawn animation like this. So impressive.

This is such an awesome and supercute animation 😍 Totally worth the hard work and time!
Wonderful to see how you do your work!! Love this whole post!!!
And of course the mocafurbs! How cute!! I WANT ONE!!! 😋
One of the greatest posts I've read here on steemit!
Thank you so much for sharing! :D
Upped and resteemed!
Thank youuu~~~! :D
hahaha yeah I should really merchandise the critters. There seems to be quite a demand for them hahahaha XD
Thank you so much, I'm so happy people like it. ♡ there's a lot of my heart in this post and even more in my film, which took me 6 months to make, so it means super much that this post exploded like this.
no I'm not crying
Bam. Na Servas!
Mocafurbs for the win!
I'll let the other people do the speaking for this one because the quality speaks for itself. :)
You deserve it!
♡ ♡ ♡
Amazing...
thank you~ ♡
Thank you for posting! great stuff and great sound to go along with wonderful animation! Grats especially for finding that elusive joy in the work you do! More animation!
haha thank you very much!
I'll try and post some more things, but animation is very time consuming and this is the longest and most elaborate 2D animation I have, unfortunately. I work in 3D now, so not much time to draw!
But there'll definitely be lots more animation related content coming so keep a lookout ;)
impresionante me gusto demasiado. saludos.
muchas gracias! :D
Amazing! Hard to understand how much work gets put into a project like this until reading such an in depth post, I definitely have a new appreciation for your line of work :)
aw sweet thank you Ali!
That's really awesome to hear because it's one of the things I'm aiming for on steemit. kinda give people a bit of a glimpse into this amazing art form, and just what it really takes to make all those cartoons, animated features, and vfx heavy films that everyone just kind of takes for granted now.
there's insane amount of craftsmanship and skill behind these things and even the "lowliest" cartoon is crazy labour intensive to make a reality.
I hope to give a bit of a glimpse at how all the magic actually happens ;D ♡
Love this so much, those Mocafurbs are so friggin cute!!! <3 <3 <3
Thank you for sharing, not only your fantastic work, but also the process.
Congrats for the 400, you sure as hell deserve it :*

hahaha thank you!
Good job, how much time you spend doing this animation?
thank you!
All in all from design stage to final result it was 6 months
Really enjoyed the video. The mocafurbs really did a number on that hurt finger, but it was worth it. Something about the lines on the tree bark looks very whimsical to me.
thank you!
yeah, drawing every day for 8-12 hours will do that to you O_O but then I've always pressed down too hard with my pencil so, really, it's my own damn fault. lol
They are the cutest creatures ever! You need to bring them back somehow!
Thank you!
I believe I will. I can practically hear the crowd roaring "WE WANT MOCAFURBS, WE WANT MOCAFUBS"
XD
haha! Yes!! I'd love to see what happens next in the storyline, you should continue with your passion
heheee thank youuu ~~~! ♡ ♡ ♡
Hey!!! This is awesome! Cute mocafurbs :D Thanks for sharing the process too! Didn't know it took so much effort to animate 2D... gotta love it!
Thank you!
Yes it is indeed a lot of work. this short took 6 months to make!
And this is just a very rough summary of how it was made too. I might do some more detailed posts on the process of making a shortfilm in the future :)
This is nice. Hope you get more reputation on "Ampliative Art - The Steemit for Artists". Read it more about this here : https://steemit.com/steemit/@karthikix/ampliative-art-the-steemit-for-artists
thanks, but you do realise that if you keep shamelessly self-promoting on random peoples posts you're eventually going to get down-voted quite heavily by someone with a lot of SP, yes?
Spam and self-promotion is severely frowned upon here. Try and get attention a different way my friend. This does not make me want to try your app...
Hey mate. I dont have to promote this app. And I dont even own this app. And pls correct your word shamelss. I am just giving you another platform where you can publish your article too which is based on design alone. And excuse me that I am also and designer and I know what to promote and what not!
I sincerely apologise for any offence I've given. It's just the wording of your comment resembled a lot of the "self promo comments" that inevitably float around articles which make it past a certain earning point. And when you're going through your replies one by one and come across enough of those, it doesn't take much to trigger that "ugh" feeling.
Now I read it again, knowing what you just told me, it sounds completely different of course but I didn't know that at the time.
Still, I'm very sorry. You meant well, and I misunderstood completely. Many apologies! :(
Amazing! Absolutely amazing works. I'm speechless, I don't know what to say... Clap* Clap* ^^
awww thank you so much! ~~~♡ squeeek
Very cool. :) Would be nice to see a post on the scanning in process and what happens afterwards.
thank you! :)
well the scanning isn't very interesting, it's literally just that: scanning.
though it is a special scanner that scans very quickly, and there's a program being used that automatically arranges the pages in an image sequence and orients them according to the peg holes at the bottom of the paper to make sure everything aligns.
Compositing.. well it's an whole other beast, and I'm not a professional compositor. Essentially what happens is that the backgrounds and animation gets coloured, Background layers & animation layers all get put together "on top of each other", camera moves are added, parallax, if there is any, and effects, if there are any. The sound design is a whole other job that is done by our in-house sound designer and I don't really know much about that.
I am however planning a series of posts that are more in-depth about how animated short films are made. So check back occasionally, it'll come :)
Cool. :) I love animation but I'm not sure I have the patience for it. ;) I really respect those who do, though!
haha no problem, I don't have patience for a LLLOOOOOT of other things. and even with animation I occasionally need someone to kick my behind.
also, we need more animation appreciators than we do animators! ;) otherwise no-one would have a job.... hahaha
Haha, I guess that's true! :D
