Plasticine Heart (film inspired by The Beatles)

Post by Gosha »

Hello dear friends!
Recently I made a cartoon in Moho and I want to share it with you.
This is an animated music video for an indie folk rock artist Robert John Hope.
The story was inspired by The Beatles, specifically the song "When I'm Sixty Four" and animated film "Yellow Submarine".

Thank you!
It was my first work in Moho. Previously I worked in other software such Animate, Harmony, Ae.
Here I also used AE and PS but most of the animation made with MOHO.
So it took a little longer because I was getting used to this soft.

It's hard for me to estimate how long it took, because some time was spent on the script, on sketches, on backgrounds, on characters, etc.
But quite a lot. Several months of continuous work.

A remarkable piece of work.
A very pleasant pace which is supporting and building the song mood.

Looks great (and feels great, too!). You should be proud.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Wow. I find the pace a tad bit slow, but that's just personal taste. Everything else is really good, the designs, the colours, the amount of detail. Oh the details! You had me when he lifts on toes while looking through the door.

Some points to mention:
- Use of head movements. People are actually nodding here! With all the head turn rigs, this one was always missing.
- Depth. The cable car scene was especially satisfying. But your characters are really in 3D space, not on a plane.
- The Beatles. This one really works, small but convincing movements to music.

This is delightful! Like many of the comment writers on Youtube, I also felt my eyes well up with tears. I find some of the movements too slow, too even, but I love the overall gentle pace and the emotional connection with the character.
