Kenjamin Button - Metroid Unsuit
This is an animation I was commissioned to make for a small YouTuber.
It is for a video in which he talks about reveals in video games, such as the one when we learn that Seamus, under her war suit, is a woman. He likes to add value to his content with some hand-drawn animation.
The process
As always, I started by validating a rough animation with the client, and then went on to make the final animation, updating him regularly at the different stages of production.
I was inspired by magical-girl type transformations, which I like because they’re always very dynamic, with lots of camera pans and turns.
Here are the elements I was given.

Takeaway
I really wanted to challenge myself with this one.
It had been a while since I had made a fully finished animation from beginning to end, mostly these last few years I was trying to get better by going back to the basics.
The goal here was to experiment and get a baseline for the level of quality I can deliver for a commission.
I’m pretty satisfied, and eager to try new things!
“Excellent animator! Patient, professional, talented, and kind.”
