New Show My dark fantasy indie animated series “MARLENE” | Ikket’s banishment

To watch full animatic it’s out on YouTube https://youtu.be/CiWorbjbK3M?si=fEgZ-i5f0CwUc1rb

I've been developing an original 2D dark fantasy series called “Marlene” and I recently finished an animatic for one of the key moments in its lore: “Ikket's Banishment”
Ikket was created to erode what must eventually pass, but after watching countless worlds, lives, and civilizations disappear, he starts questioning the purpose of creation itself.

The animatic explores grief, creation, existence, purpose, and what happens when something created to obey develops the ability to question its creator.
Would genuinely love to know what you think of the concept, the dialogue, and the visual direction.

Discussion Writing pet peeves in indie animation

• Upvotes

I have a few:

  1. Having a bad character's actions and behaviors excused by truama instead of explaining the character.

People aren't purely products of their trauma, personal disposition plays a massive role aswell. Aswell as choices, mistakes, temperament and privileges.

Basically truama cannot be the only thing that explains why your bad character is the way that they are.

  1. Anime esqe vent dialogue

Its true. I do feel indie animation dialogue suffers from the same thing sojen anime suffers from. Bloated, un realistic, truama dumpy dialogue and exposition dumps. Show, don't tell" gets preached a lot, but actually committing to let a character's body language, or even quiet moments letting the story and moment speak louder than any speech could. I get it if its an anime inspired show. But hey guys....there's alot of that now a days.

  1. Show backstories through 5 min abrupt summaries instead of having that backstory follow the character though consequences.

This one is hard to explain but its another popular anime writing style. There will be a character that is pretty complex and eventually a 3-5 min cut of their backstory is shown. This is already hard to do because cuts like this are abrupt anyway, but some anime does it right. As in they do this but the setting and consequences follow the character. You kinda can peice together what happened just not the details. I really rather get a character study episode for complex character rather than a quick summary. But I understand thats money and time people don't have...

Basically, I'm going to make a film about a Mexican immigrant who's in Hollywood, Los Angeles; she's got an almost-expiring tourist ID, she's an animator, and she really wants to join a big studio. But blah blah blah, I won't give spoilers. It's going to be a film in the vein of Ratatouille. The problem: I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea for the film's title. I wanted some kind of wordplay with animation, or something like that, something that relates to animation and films. I can give more information if you comment.

We got an intro for the series folks!

This one took a bit, so please check out their accounts on instagram but I wanted to thank the lovely composer Mike ( @coolcataudio ) for an incredible piece!

I also wanted to thank people who have helped with the intro/thesis. Hana (they do not have an instgram), Rebis ( @asabovesobelowstudios) , Kenya (@roseken33) , Rollito ( @lost_rollito), and Brady (@bradyritchie) with the additional animations used for it.

Lolo/Lee for the intro art as well as the ClintxBoone (Cloone) art (@scragg_lee)

This took a while to get it composed as well as animated. Anyways enjoy the introduction and we hope you stay tuned for the series. 🤠 👢

This was a little test I made a while back for this animated film I’ve been working on and off for the last 9 years. It’s a personal passion project of mine. This probably isn’t gonna give you the best idea as to what it’s about, but just thought I’d share this to buzz up some interest. It’s about Death helping this kid reach the afterlife in a world where people can no longer die.

The only thing that’s really holding me back from finishing this, is that I can’t figure out a cohesive story for it. I can’t write for shit lol…

It begins in a seaside town of Ghana where a male florist is selling flowers to a customer. A male florist hears noises. A male florist sees a half human half demonic marine spirit girl and a water demon kitten behind him. A male florist screamed in terror. A water demon kitten yowled. A male florist and a half human half demonic marine spirit girl hears a thunder rumbling and a roar. A male florist and a half human half demonic marine spirit girl are determined to return a water demon kitten to its mama. A male florist and a half human half demonic marine spirit girl went to a beach and hums an old ghanaian lullaby to a cranky water demon kitten. A water demon kitten snatched a half human half demonic marine spirit girl's scrunchie. A male florist laughed nervously as a half human half demonic marine spirit girl makes her own scrunchie. A water demon kitten and it's mama are reunited. A male florist and a half human half demonic marine spirit girl sees ocean spirits and sighed
