Mr Lange, animator of Death Battles

Posted by Short-Factor - March 31st, 2012

Anyone watch the Death Battle series on ScrewAttack? Their ideas and presentation are great, but they needed better sprite animation. I'm taking over that position. Already got one episode done.
For those unaware, the character analysis and closing section are Ben and Chad's work, the original Death Battle material. My work is the sprite fight in between all that.
Check it out, I hope I may surprise some of you more jaded types that leer at sprite animation.
So, see it here, on ScrewAttack:

Since I can't embed those kinds of videos, here's the trailer as seen on Youtube.

Can you believe I made this in a week? Neither can I.

A week? In Blender?

Lmao imagine how much time it would take in Helix if it were complete.

But of course that isn't the topic so yeah. This was really amazing. I particularly enjoyed the slap fight, that was hilarious.

This wasn't a very complex project but even so Helix could have probably cut the development time in half.

Looks like you will enjoy making these... until people start begging for more.

I seen the new episode and I was fucking impressed. Personally, I thought they did a good jobs before but after effects can only take you so far. Cant wait to see more from you this season of Death Battle.

you made this in a week? this was really awesome for a week! awesome job!

ScottCanDraw 2012-04-01 09:49:48

AH this is Awesome, Ben did an alright Job animating it but Mr. Lange, you're my favourite sprite animator by far, i know you'll kick ass at this, well done!

That's amazing, Short-Factor! I could go see the intense conflict between two princesses of their respective Nintendo series.

SS4FlameAlchemist 2012-04-01 14:19:03

not gonna lie. They didn't give you a good matchup. That was really stupid battle. Neither of the characters had any good moves, but you made the best of it. Do they tell you how the battle is supposed to go, or do you just do the entire battle yourself? I really hope next time they give you a better matchup.

Short-Factor 2012-04-01 14:19:03

Ben sent me a rough 12 panel storyboard outlining the major moments in the animation, along with a script that had a bit more detail in the description. I took some liberties here and there. This was a good matchup the way I see it, Nintendo's iconic princess characters with very unique sets of abilities and backgrounds.

spritefan 2012-04-01 17:06:44

How many episodes are you signed up for? lol.

Short-Factor 2012-04-01 17:06:44

Who knows. I'll be doing them from now until question marks.

Anti-Bowser 2012-04-03 17:14:48

YOU DID THIS IN A WEEK? Oh my. If you did THIS in a week, then I can't imagine how AWESOME NASF2 is going to be.

Short-Factor 2012-04-03 17:14:48

Hundreds of times better. I promise.

lazerus42 2012-04-04 08:22:50

so what music did you use for the battle? if you dont mind me asking

Short-Factor 2012-04-04 08:22:50

They chose the music. I didn't know until someone on Youtube pointed out that the first song is a remix of the Forest Maze from SMRPG (which is obvious but I don't know what it is exactly) and the second song I think is the final boss music from Skyward Sword. The final clip of music that plays is Peach's theme from Mario Strikers Charged.

Grognor 2012-04-22 18:21:47

Well, what do you know? Sprite animation isn't quite as dead as I thought it was. Good job there, etc.

Blitzkrieg667 2012-05-04 14:03:38

I loved Raiden Vs Thor, but I felt that the sprites and the 3D environment didn't mesh together all that well. It was absolutely amazing but the contrast between the stage and the characters was slightly off-putting.
