Join The Line!

These new forums are the perfect opportunity to promote this little group I started a while ago.
Anyway, introduciiing-

The Line! 
(This is not officially affiliated with Hyun’s Dojo,
it’s just a little group I made! <3)

I made a little video explaining the premise of the line over on my YouTube.
(You can even check it out HERE!)

But essentially, to summarize: The Line is an animation group I made which is all about broadening the scope of what is considered high quality stickfigure animation.

Recently, (i.e: over the past few years,) the style of “sakuga” has taken over the medium, and while sakuga is definitely very impressive and nothing to laugh at, it can feel at times like it has become the only style seen as high quality.

So, in essence, the Line is a group which is all about the different styles of animating stickfigures! This doesn’t mean sakuga is not welcome, but rather that we encourage experimentation, trying different things, and most importantly: we emphasize on art direction, character acting, and storytelling!

If you wanna join, you have to submit a TRYOUT!

Where can you submit a tryout?
Just send me a message of your animations on discord! (My tag is “sulfuranimations”)

I’m not super picky, and the only case in which I reject a tryout is if there was evidently no focus on any of those three core principles (art direction, character acting, and storytelling.)

Also, if you get rejected, you can always try again, so no pressure to get it right the first time around! We’re all learning animation together here! :3

I should note that this whole thing is very informal. So remember to just not take any of it too seriously or personally.
