Title: Crypto Currency Cartoon - Crypto Zoo
Post by: TimtheYoutuber on January 01, 2019, 05:31:31 PM
If you like the episode, please share it with friends :) Feel free to tag me on any twitter posts

Bitcoins History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I3KuM5KFjo&t=0s

The real episode will launch hopefully sometime next week.


I am in the middle of creating a cryptocurrency cartoon show in Paint. I already have over 100 scenes done. The show is going to be based around cryptocurrency and will be a comedy show talking about recent events etc This show will be around 10 minutes long, and won't be pure cryptocurrency related. If you like crypto or want to watch a video that could be embarrassing to me then follow me on twitter to get updates on it.


I think a problem in the cryptocurrency world is everything is too cluttered and information is thrown at you. So this will be a fun video for people to relax and get information about cryptocurrency while having a laugh.


All I really care about is getting 1 person to watch it and enjoy it, and hopefully, I can make that happen. I have spent 15 hours + creating it and am close to finally releasing it.




If you want to see it first, follow me on twitter @timmy_forrest (https://twitter.com/timmy_forrest), that will be the best way to see when it is finally done.





First Episode: The Bitcoin Stork

This episode will be discussing the new bitcoin fork. SV vs Cash

Take a look at this, and tell me if you would be interested in watching it. Obviously, the graphics aren't amazing since it is on Paint, however it plays as though the characters are moving since I have scenes.

What is the purpose of making a cartoon video,? whether to get a lot of viewers to get adsense income, try using it to follow a video campaign, if your job is good, you will definitely get a lot of income.

What is the purpose of making a comment like this? Get a lot of money through your signature campaign, try using your replies to get more money, if your job is good, you will make a lot of income.

Jokes aside, I like the idea, but aren't those lines a little bit too thin?
I would have used a brush that's a little bit more wide. I mean the drawings itself are good, but you can barely see them.

You've probably already made all the drawings though, so might be a bit tough to fix this.
I wonder if you can somehow make the lines a bit thicker automatically?

He won't earn anything unless he has already a good channel. And that's not the type of thing you do to earn money.
That's a good example of an initiative to give bitcoin a good exposure, let's democratize the stuff and stop to see the hell everywhere. A lot of people are spending hours and hours for free just to help the community or educate people, we'd better thank them.

I was thinking about the YouTube community, and lots of crypto YouTubers are terrible. So this cartoon kind of acts like a educational video, but will be a comedy cartoon. Yeah I mean, if it got popular I would work out some methods so I could create a whole season of it.

I wanted it to look like a sketch so I used the pencil, but if it is a problem and a lot of people recommend I not use it I will change it. To hard to go back and redraw like 100+ images. Yeah I am not sure, the point of it is not to be professional if that makes sense lol As you can already tell, I am not an artist. If this made money, I would obviously have to step up the art and so I would hire someone who can actually design the cartoon, and I would simply direct and write the episodes.

Yeah I am not sure adsense would be good, or even youtube ads. This would need to get millions to make it remotely profitable. I have spent hundreds of hours already on it, so even a million views would not likely make it "profitable". In the end, I want to only direct it and write the episodes and get people to laugh, if I was trying to make money I wouldn't be doing this.

The graphics don't really matter as long as you have the content. Take South Park for instance. You can make this a hit if executed properly. The moving scenes and catchy audio would be a great addition as long as the content is quality.

You should also try looking for content writers and that would really help you set this up!

It runs very very smooth, and the audio will likely just be me and friends. But yeah I mean, considering its quick and free I think people will watch it. My idea and motivation comes from the Simpsons. So if you like hidden jokes, and scenery jokes then this is perfect. Even for people who dont like crypto, they might find it somewhat enjoyable. And even crypto experts will like it, because it has hidden jokes only they might understand. Which kind of pulls to the Disney way, in which they make adult hidden jokes so when parents take their kids to see a Disney movie they might enjoy parts of it.


Yeah I might be interested in adding more writers if I did an entire season.





Edit: I added a link to a 27 second YouTube clip of how the scenes will run. The episodes will obviously have character voices, will be uploaded in better quality, and wont have the water mark. If you like it, make sure to subscribe so you can get a notification when it is live. I am aiming for 10 minutes per episode.

No problem at all, I mean the drawings do look good, it's really just the lines that are a bit thin.
I'm just wondering how it'll capture on video, but I reckon you've already done some testing in that regards, right?

I definitely didn't mean to discourage you or anything! Maybe just keep this in mind for your next project ;)
I'm sure this one will turn out great, even with some minor flaws...

I will take this into account and when everything is finished I will go back and fix up some of the lines. Have you seen the video? I posted a link in the OP. It is just to show how the scenes will actually flow.

If you could make a 10 minute video with all the facts explained and gathered then it will be good. Throwing all knowledge on all sides are really confusing. If you can give justice to it then who am i to judge.

About the drawings. You can have perfect shapes and lines for the tv or the stall and it can make a little bit not messy and text for the letterrs. You can draw via pencil for faces and people. Also i like how you use pencil for color and not the fill. It gave it accent. The drawing is good just a little bit thin.

The video is recently 8 views including me. Im looking forward to the finnished product. Goodluck mate.

I wont have just straight facts, and likely no words. It will work like any other cartoon where I talk about real situations with jokes. Yeah I will make sure to go back and touch it up before it is done. I agree the letters and words can be distorted, however they aren't really an important part of the show.

Not sure I can do weekly, however once this comes out I will grind out another. I would like to make this a 6 episode season type deal.

Yeah I checked out the video and it works better than I expected.
I don't know but the lines don't seem too thin on video, it's definitely not hard/annoying to watch it like that.

Now I'm curious about the finished video!

Ei, did you just insult MS Paint for producing crappy images? Peace :D

-snip- Also if you guys have any suggestions make sure to let me know.
I would suggest you to at least purchase "Clip Studio Paint" for making the raw images or the complete animation (not an Ad, I use it personally).
It supports animation, draw frame by frame & almost all of Photoshop's features like layers; also, it's a bit stable even drawing using the mouse.

Or if you're into ease of use, you can export the files to "Adobe Illustrator" and make use of its "Puppet warp" feature to simulate movement of limbs, head, etc in each frames.
All you have to do is to make one quality image per scene and the tools will help you do the rest, there are tons of tutorials on Youtube too.

What kind of microphone are you using? The sound quality of your voice isn't really great to be honest.
I don't mean your voice itself, it's the quality of the recording that's lacking.

Maybe there's something you could do with Audacity to improve it a little bit? Sounds kind of 'tinny'.

Crappy image indeed but i do still appreciate the effort specially on forming that Donald trump  ;D 

About purchasing,he might not have the funds and decide to stick with MS paint but he can really make it better actually
and not to rushing up and making lines thicker. Putting a little effort would give out better output even on MS paint.

I'm not sure what you mean by me using an "ad" but I will look into it, and if it is easy enough then I will get it. Thanks for the suggestion.

It could likely be my voice :p I am using a turtle beach mic that was like $50 and OBS software.

Haha thank you :P

Yeah, I really just wanted to put the work out there since I already spent about 40 hours making the current videos. I will look into the software though and if it is not too expensive and easy to use then I will try it. Otherwise, I will certainly keep working on paint and improve every video with suggestions etc. So thank you for your input, as it will help make every video better.

No, it's definitely not that, your voice is pretty good. I would really try to edit the recording with Audacity and try to add some more depth to it.
Should really be fairly easy to do. Plus Audacity is free and open-source.

Here are some good tutorials on how to do that:

I've got some free time again to work on this. I won't be changing the graphics. This project is meant to be fun and laid back.



If it is unwatchable since it is on paint, then I am sorry but that is the way it will be.
