This style developed because I know zilch about traditional animation. I knew the basics of photoshop and After Effects looked like photoshop with a timeline, so I jumped in and started making stuff. I was going to make a fast, 'bad meme' style animation with rough cut-outs and dumb character movements---you can kind of see this attitude in some of the early episodes. (My apologies in advance). But I have a 'try-hard' personality, so I kept trying new things and spending more and more time on each episode. I'm happy with how the last 10 or so episodes look. But I still wonder if a "shit-post meme" style animation would have been better. I do know that this kind of animation won't be liked by everyone, so I really appreciate it when I get a comment like yours!
Thanks man!

"Creepy little nut crackers" -hahah, I love that. I hadn't thought about their mouths that way but it's a perfect description. I may borrow that phrase next time I'm trying to describe these animations. Thank you for the comment!

I'm very happy to hear it. And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. :)

Politely contrarian...and maybe a little lazy. We all need role models lol.

You might be the first person to watch these and know where that phrase originated. You're definitely the first to comment on it.
