Jason's Backstory | 2018 Flashback

I was scrolling through some of my old projects that I never shared, and I found this old project I started sometime during 2018. I thought the animation was pretty good, so I decided to finish the thumbnail and try to share it.

The stickman in this project is a model I made that was heavily inspired by all the stickman stuff going on in 2018 and whatnot, but I ended up never sharing a project with him in it. There were a few other characters made, most of which are small variations of the characters see in my project titled "New Characters". His name is Jason, although he now has a different name and a new look, and this is part of his backstory.

As I mentioned earlier, the thumbnail is the only part I added on to, everything else was done in 2018.

There are a lot of elements in this animation that are not original; The first scene is practically stolen from the fabulous ZubStudios, the first transition is highly unoriginal and overused, and even the stickman is unoriginal. But with that all said, I really put effort into this project, and it was a good vent for me and it reflects some of the things I was going through at the time.

It also got me thinking how much I have grown both as an animator and as a person.

Anyway, enjoy the animation!
