I just finished the new Testosteroso 70's Cartoon Intro. It's only 55 seconds, but it actually took a while to get the look just right. I tried to mimic the Drawing style and film grain of a 70's Hanna Barbera cartoon. Plus I added some VHS Video distortion in Adobe After Effects to make it more authentic. The final effect I used was a low end phase and pitch bend on the audio to make the sound get fucked up whenever the tape appeared to be warped.
I roto-scoped the actual video for some of the footage ( If you haven't seen it click here to watch it.), and I also roto-scoped some episodes of Jonny Quest, Thundarr the barbarian, GI Joe, and Thunder-Cats (yeah I know that's sorta cheating, but I'm fuckin' lazy.)
Pig guards based off of Jonny Quest.
Roto-scoping is a good way to learn animation. It helped me get prepared for the next animated testo video, which is more "cartoony" than this one. I am not used to drawing things proportionate, so making this video was a pain in the ass. The last animated thing I made was for our website http://www.testosteroso.com. It's the whole band as a 4- headed baby that does gross shit. Click here to check it out.
