Hello DenX, very good entry! Where does the music come from?

Thanks ! ^^
For the beat, I just layed out some simple percussions and the snap is a mix of 3 different records of snaps to make it more... "snappy".

So just homemade copyright free stuff? It is funny how multiple contestants also made their own music.

Yes, there's no copyright involved.
In my case the sound part didn't require any musical skill but I know many animators and background artists that are also good musicians.
I used to play drums and bass when I was a kid and I own a guitar too... but I'm so bad at it that I can't call myself a musician ! XD
I don't know how some people practice both animation and music and manage to be good at the 2... I gave up playing guitar long ago so I could focus more on animation but even like that it's damn hard !

I noticed other animators added sound too but I can't speak for them.
One of them obviously used the "Friends" opening music but otherwise I can't say if they made it by themselves or not.
Anything is possible.

I didn't even get in the top 3 at the contest "Remember the 90s" but well... the show must go on !


Here's another timelapse animation process from previous live streams on Twitch:

New timelapse of several Twitch sessions:

It took me about 3 hours and half to complete from scratch using TVPaint 10.5.

Latest timelapse from 12 different Twitch sessions:


Just the clean-up took over 20 hours !
Maybe I should have reused more parts than just hands and heads...
