Nightrizer | Meet Me in the Woods MAP part 25 @NightrizerArtz | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago

The background for my part reminded me of the fun, silly adventures the Pines family had, so I chose to do something similar that could have happened off screen sometime. I also wanted to add in a dragon too since we never got an episode with dragons. ;;
Some things about this:
-If scenes look like they're moving to fast, it's because they are. I made the mistake of trying to fit too much into such a short time span. The only way to get everything to fit was to purposely omit in-betweens, so now everything looks sped up. xc
-I ended up not redoing the dragon's landing because the ground shake helped make the movement look better.
-The timing is really bad in the ending scene, (I should have animated each character on separate layers instead of the same layer) but I hope it's not too bothersome. A lot is happening in this shot as well, so I made the gold stand out by adding shines to it.
-I now realize that there are some spots I forgot to color. :I
-It will be a lot easier to decode the first scene for those who get the reference. c;
-One last thing: I do not recommend animating the Stans, or for that matter, animating so many human characters in one scene. Like...you have to redraw all of their wrinkles for every frame AND their glasses. Also, Ford's extra fingers. Like animating hands wasn't hard enough OTL
TLDR: I suffered.
Programs used:
Toon Boom Studio 8.1 - animation
Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 - shading/effects
Paint Tool Sai - backgrounds
Music: Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron
Character/Gravity Falls belong to Alex Hirsch/Disney
