History of Germs

The idea of Germs first came to me early in the year (January 2015)

I wanted to play around with music and narration. I was really excited about it so I boarded it and put together an animatic. Around March, I started to feel the fire burn out. I was tired, but mostly I was lost about the direction the short was going in. So I decided to take a break from it.

Summer came and went and I was ready to start working on something again. I had just bought TVPaint and decided the best way to learn the software was by finishing a short with it.  That's when the fire for Germs started up again.

Germs was made with 2 purposes,  I've always wanted to experiment with musical cartoons, and I spent the summer making pastel drawings of the more abstract and modern style. So that's when it hit me, why not make Germs and complete experiment.

Reason one- experiment with music, Reason two- animate experimental styles.

I wrote the lyrics to Germs for the first version and decided to keep them as a center focus. I then played with the designs. Once August came I was ready to start production. two months of discipline and I had reached the end point. I was really happy with the final product it captured exactly what I wanted.
