An SSBU cartoon starring the lovely goddess Palutena. Returning to her estate after a long day of smacking around some opposing challengers at the Smash tournaments, things begin quite peaceful and serene, but she soon realizes some old foes of hers still lurk in the shadows of her palace.
I'm glad I finally finished this thing, as I started it a long, LONG time ago. It took much more time than expected, but about 35% through the cartoon's production, I transitioned the whole project to a brand new animation program that I wasn't familiar with. There was a massive learning curve involved, and if that wasn't enough, I was also continuing to practice art and animation in between the times I worked on this thing. There was a lot of back-and-forth involved and many scenes were not made in chronological order (in fact, the intro scene is what I made last!) There's a lot of skill creep that happened in the video, but there's no way in hell I'm going back again to make even more adjustments, so it is what it is!
Massive thanks to my good pal Crashgen for coming up with ideas with me on this, we spent much time laughing our asses off conjuring what would happen in the story. He tackled many of the animatics himself as well (most of the scenes during the second half of the video), and also single-handedly taught me how to use the new software (Toon Boom Harmony). On top of that, he provided the screams and groans for Palutena along with Pit's voice lines.
Another thanks goes out to Hyenaedon for custom-making the rat chase music theme, it came out so well and fit seamlessly. He even provided another track that went very well with the project's intro scene. I look forward to working with these dudes again, I'm so grateful for how smooth and easy communication and project transferring was between all of us.
Now that most of the learning segment is over, I'm so glad I jumped from Flash to TBH and I cannot wait to make more videos! They won't take this long next time, I swear!
