Artist's commentary
BTR ⨉ Toe Animation
At long last, finally, I can put this mini project to rest.
It took me a lot of time, 15 weeks to be exact, to finally push through and finish this idea of mine.
When I first thought of doing this, thanks to a little idea planted on my mind by a friend, I didn't know what I was signing up for.
The line art/ sketch alone took 177 individual keyframes, a total of 1252 frames for a 52 second animation. On top of the multiple backgrounds and other things I had to do.

Naively, it is actually my first time of doing an "animation" of sorts.
The entire animation is sort of unorthodox though, as it follows the stop-motion animation of the original inspiration I took from, the MV グッドバイ / Goodbye by toe.
Since I am both a toe and BTR fan.

Kita has the most frames I did, about 55 keyframes. The least was Nijika's, at 29.
Animation is certainly draining, but it is really fun, and I've learned a lot of things.

For now I'll return to drawing more illustrations, to recharge and rest.
And in the future I'll most likely just do small animations in reference to songs I listen while drawing, which I'll probably do with Kikuri.
Thank you again for the support all the way, this would never have been possible without you all enabling me to do what I love.

And here's the animation:
