(uhm.. doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. Will fix soon – until then, check it out here – The Thirty)
This is my favourite project to date. It was an experiment in site traffic where I thought that releasing something new EVERY day without skipping a beat would bring in loads of traffic. Along with it would come AdSense revenue.
The experiment failed miserably because 1 month isn’t long enough to increase traffic. The idea was that at least one of the thirty would go viral, but that wasn’t to be. I concluded that visitor numbers to a site increase over a much longer period and if I had created a 365 Shorts in 365 Days, it may have paid off more handsomely.
Even so, this is the most fun I’ve ever had with animation and don’t regret it one bit. Some of these are my proudest moments in visual gags.
How it worked: each of these was written and animated entirely in a single day. In most cases, around 6 hours. I had a list of ideas and each night, I’d write one on the page, think about it for a bit, then animate it in the morning. Sound effects were recorded and added on the same day, before finally uploading it to the site.
Okay, I just want you to know! you did a hilarious job! sooo funny!
this is the kinda stuff you wanna find!
keep up the good work!
Maybe 1 a month. That would keep me coming back every month. As of now I just check in when I remember to do so. To catch up on what I missed, but if there were guaranteed dates when I could come back to see an update I’d be back each time.
I remember years ago when you published them and how fascinated I was watching them, always wanting to see more. Is in your plans making some more of these kind of animations/gags? I mean, not in a marathonic way as you did before, maybe animating less clips per month, but keeping the short clip formula / high laughter formula?
that was just amazinggg <3
What song is that in #17? Excellent peace by the way.
I bleeve that song is “Breakdown” – The Alan Parsons Project: I Robot (1977)
that’s the one
