If you’re a common Twitter or YouTube user, you may accept apparent an activated abbreviate about witches addition out how to use Tinder, or one about Star Wars’ Emperor Palpatine convalescent afterwards Darth Vader threw him bottomward a Death Star shaft in Return of the Jedi. These shorts appear from the aforementioned artist, Ian Worthington, bigger accepted as Worthi or Worthikids (the name of his YouTube channel).
For the accomplished few years, Worthington has been uploading added adroit videos to his YouTube approach and his amusing media (including Instagram), aberration out from 2D action to application 3D models in acutely 2D shorts, and assuming Rankin/Bass Productions’ stop-motion films through the open-source 3D computer cartoon affairs Blender. Though his shorts alter berserk in accountable amount — some are originals, while added re-create genitalia of accepted shows — they all avowal alive action and an absorbing akin of detail.
Worthington hopped on the buzz with Polygon to altercate his process, including authoritative his own complete effects, developing a faculty of style, and authoritative the jump from activation as a amusement to advancing it as a career.
This annual has been edited for conciseness and clarity.
Polygon: How did you get started cartoon and animating?
Ian Worthington: I started with activation by accomplishing sprites, like pixel art. I was authoritative little computer amateur with my siblings, and I capital some sprites, so I started like that. Afresh I boring fabricated the resolution bigger, and eventually, I switched over and started accomplishing animations in Flash. That was aboriginal on in my channel, my aboriginal brace of animations. I did Flash for a brace of years, and now I’ve confused over to Blender.
I’ve been application Blender aback the absolute beginning, I aloof didn’t do it for the appearance animation. I would consign the characters out from Flash as cellophane angel sequences, afresh put those in Blender. I’d put the accomplishments in and do Blender-y actuality with compositing and such. Really, the Blender amend that lets you draw anon in the affairs is aloof removing an accidental step, which was Flash. Now I can aloof accomplish the assets appropriate in there, which is great. But I still do my backgrounds in Clip Studio Paint, because it’s a acceptable art affairs for painting and actuality like that.
Do you bethink the aboriginal complete activated arrangement you did?
I started by accomplishing a lot of GIFs. It was all absolute abbreviate GIF things. The aboriginal full-on action with audio was — this is absolute awkward — a Homestuck animation. I did my own articulation acting. That acclimated to be on my channel, but I’ve aback privatized it, because I’m ashamed by it. It’s not absolute good.
How abundant were you cartoon above-mentioned to the sprites? I accept that you basically accomplished yourself on how to draw and animate.
Yes. I’ve been cartoon aback forever, aloof because me and my ancestors were all homeschooled, so we were at home all the time. We were all accomplishing cartoon amateur and actuality as far aback as I can remember. We all developed our own styles, and they breach off and did added stuff. But I’m out actuality accomplishing the animations for the YouTube. [Laughs]
You do some of the action in 3D and afresh accomplish it attending 2D, which isn’t a archetypal process.
Yes. I’m not accomplishing so abundant of that yet, I would say that’s added alpha actuality on the way. I did a little bit of it in Palpatine’s Journey, but it’s appealing obvious, it’s the allotment area he’s falling and he tumbles around. He’s a 3D archetypal there. Some of the backgrounds are 3D in that one, because I didn’t appetite to alter the accomplished accomplishments over and over, so I aloof fabricated a aflutter model, and afresh switched the camera bend around. And I’ve been accomplishing that aback forever, alike my absolute old animations, I’ll aloof do a big cartoon and afresh zoom in on it and move about this big 3D adaptation of it. It’s not as complicated as it sounds, it’s absolute abundant like a bargain model. That way I don’t accept to draw the backgrounds over and over. But affective forward, I’m alive on added abstracts area the characters will be absolutely 3D, and assuming a 2D look.
It takes way beneath time. Or the time is dispensed differently, because acutely it takes best to archetypal characters and afresh rig the characters and all that. But already the appearance is ready, you can aloof breathing them, and it takes way beneath time than cartoon them over and over and over. So I can accomplish best actuality that way, which I’m absolutely aflame about. If you’re accomplishing 2D, it’s easier to accomplish absolute abbreviate things, because you don’t accept that upfront weight of accepting to accomplish these characters, you can aloof draw them. But afresh you accept to draw them over and over and over.
You’ve additionally activated clips from live-action shows like It’s Consistently Sunny in Philadelphia or Check It Out!, with Dr. Steve Brule. What makes a articulation article that you appetite to animate, and how do you accomplish it article fresh?
I acclimated to accept a way I best those. I haven’t best one in a while. They were usually accepted clips already, and I’d watch them, and if I was like, “Oh, this would be fun to animate,” I’d breathing it. I would booty screenshots from it, but not too many, because I didn’t appetite to apperceive all of the framing, so I could affectionate of accomplish it up. But I bare some reference. I took four or bristles screenshots, and afresh I aloof started accomplishing the storyboards over the audio, and riffing on what happened visually.
For the Pepe Silvia one, at the absolute alpha of that short, there’s this surreal antic area Charlie enters through the door, and the aperture is closed, and afresh a added Charlie enters. That was an absurdity from aboveboard storyboarding and not blockage what absolutely happens, because I apprehend the doors open, and I’m like, “Okay, he came in, I’ll draw him advancing in.” And afresh I apprehend what I anticipate are the doors aperture again, and I’m like, “Now, authority on.” What’s accident is, the doors aloof bang shut. I watched the absolute clip; they open, and afresh they slam, and it makes a absolute agnate sound, and I didn’t absolutely aces up on that. So I was like, “I acutely fabricated an error, but I’ll aloof run with it.”
Where did Witches on Tinder or Frasier and Niles Become Demon Lords start?
I’m not absolutely sure. I’ve noticed I don’t absolutely appear up with annual unless I’m aggravating to. If I’m aloof sitting around, I’m not gonna absolutely appear up with anything. I accept to actively be like, “Okay, I appetite to do a short, now I charge an idea.” Afresh they’ll usually alpha to appear to me. It starts as a basal idea, like, “Oh, I appetite article with witches.” Afresh I usually alpha recording the dialogue, or autograph the dialogue, if there are added articulation actors. I’ll usually aloof jump appropriate in and alpha recording and amount out how the chat goes from there. Afresh I’ll do the storyboards afterward, set to the audio.
You’ve talked a bit about authoritative your own complete furnishings for the Palpatine short. Is that typical?
That’s appealing recent. I did foley for the Frasier and Niles one. That was the aboriginal action area I was absolutely accomplishing a lot of foley, because I capital clip sounds and banging sounds, and I was like, “Okay, this will be fun.” Afresh I encountered an issue, because I capital Frasier to do this little energy-blast powering-up sound. I was like, “I could absolutely aloof abduct this from some Dragonball Z bold or something, but I’m curious, how do they accomplish those sounds?” I hadn’t absolutely wondered about it before.
I went bottomward this aerial hole, aggravating to amount out how they appear up with these sounds, and it concluded up actuality aloof synths. They had a lot of synths in the ’80s. So I approved to accommodate it with synths, and afresh I got hooked: “Okay, I appetite to do all my complete furnishings from now on, because this is absolutely absorbing and affectionate of fun to actualize stuff.” The barring is in Palpatine’s Journey. Aback Palpatine acreage on the ground, there’s this absolutely compressed, bad-sounding car-crash sound. That is not mine, that is a accessible area complete that I found.
Your 3D assignment like Hatbox Troubles is aggressive by old Rankin/Bass works. Why are those such an access on you?
I’ve consistently admired their Christmas specials, and I hadn’t absolutely anticipation of their access on my art style, I aloof absolutely admired them. Afresh I watched a becloud with my brother, Nutcracker Fantasy, which is a Japanese stop-motion becloud fabricated by one of the animators who acclimated to assignment for Rankin/Bass, so it absolutely looks like the Rankin/Bass style. It came out in the ’70s. It’s got a blue synth soundtrack. It’s so visually stunning. The appearance is so absorbed in that boob world, that stop-motion look, that I was like, “I appetite that, I appetite to do that! Bead everything!” I additionally started to think, “This is article you can imitate, because it’s so low quality; it’s on film, and it’s grainy, and it’s like a VHS archetype of it. Surely, if you did a agglomeration of trickery, you could do this in 3D.” So I was absorbed on that abstraction that you could imitate this in 3D.
I started accomplishing experiments, but afresh I alone the brawl and got active with added actuality for a year until aftermost October, area I had some chargeless time, and I was like, “Okay, I’ve done a brace of abstracts now, I’m aloof gonna go for it.” I did this GIF of Danny Elfman in his Oingo Boingo days, aloof dancing around. That was my aboriginal accepted experiment. Aback I acquaint it on Twitter, I got such a absolute acknowledgment of bodies actuality like, “This looks real.” That was such a aplomb boost. I wasn’t absolutely sure. Aback you fabricated it, you know, obviously, that it’s fake. You feel the fakery. But aback bodies admired it, I was like, “I appetite to accumulate accomplishing this. This is absolutely fun.”
Have there been any added works that hit you in the aforementioned way, added things you appetite to emulate, or that contrarily afflicted your style?
I would say one of the aboriginal inspirations was Baman Piderman by Lindsay and Alex Small-Butera. That was aloof a YouTube series, but I bethink seeing that and actuality like, “Whoa, this was activated by two people? That’s it? The action is so beautiful.” That was absolutely an aboriginal afflatus of like, “Oh, indie action exists, and it’s a affair you can do.” I was like, “Oh my gosh, I appetite to do that.” As I move forward, I appetite to assignment with added people, like altered articulation actors and maybe some co-directors or co-animators, to get some added absorbing styles. Afore that, I acquainted bad that I couldn’t absolutely pay anybody, because I wasn’t authoritative abundant money. But now that Palpatine’s Journey is accomplishing absolute well, I anticipate I can alpha accommodating with added bodies now.
How did you appear up with your own style?
I’m still not absolutely sure. It’s difficult for me to say, because I don’t necessarily draw this way intentionally. I’m aggravating to breach out of it, honestly, I’m aggravating to accomplish added studies, because this is aloof how I draw anything. I go to draw, and it aloof looks like this, and I’m like, “Well, that’s a little disappointing.” I appetite to accept some versatility. So I’m aggravating to breach out a little. I will say, in agreement of appearance inspiration, a lot of it is SpongeBob. I had a How to Draw SpongeBob book as a child. That was a huge influence.
Another big access is — this is affectionate of an anachronous influence, because I don’t absolutely see it in my assignment abundant anymore, but — as a teenager, I was absolutely into One Piece. Eiichiro Oda, his art, I admired it so much. I was like, “Oh, I appetite to draw like him.” I would additionally say, it affectionate of snuck up on me, but aback I started accomplishing the Rankin/Bass thing, I was like, “Oh, I accept to change, I accept to try and draw in their style.” Afresh I was like, “Hold on, my appearance already looks a lot like that.” It was weird, because I didn’t anticipate of them as an influence, but they affectionate of snuck up on me.
Do you do all your articulation acting for now?
Yeah, all the currently uploaded shorts that don’t use audio from article else, I did all the articulation acting. I don’t see myself as a articulation actor, I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t allotment of the short, but I do adore it, abnormally if it’s an apery challenge, like, it needs to complete like Yoda or something, because afresh you get to abstraction these audio clips and be like, “How do I do that with my voice?”
Can you airing me through the accepted action of creating a short?
I alpha with a absolute basal concept, usually a drawing, a absolute asperous sketch, area I’m aloof aggravating to anticipate of an abstraction of what to do. I usually alpha with a character. I’ll draw a appearance and I’ll be like, “Okay, the abbreviate is about this character. That’s all I apperceive appropriate now.” From there, I’ll either accessible up a argument certificate and try to address out some chat ideas, or I’ll go beeline to recording, which is affectionate of jumping the gun, but I like to accept audio to breathing to. It’s a lot added difficult for me to do storyboards to nothing. I accept done it sometimes, but it’s trickier. Aback there’s dialogue, you anon apperceive the pacing. You apperceive aback the beats are.
Once I accept the audio ready, I alpha accomplishing storyboards. Because I don’t absolutely assignment with anybody abroad currently, I don’t anticipate they’d accomplish abundant faculty to anyone but me. They’re absolute rough. Afterwards I do the storyboards, I’ll usually blow up the audio a bit more. I don’t appetite to add foley yet, because I don’t apperceive how the characters are moving, so I don’t apperceive aback to put in the absolute footsteps, but I can put in some ambient and maybe a brace of agreeable stings or article like that.
After I’ve got that done, I usually do addition canyon through the storyboards, which is the asperous action pass, area if a appearance needs to move in a added circuitous way, like they’re walking, I’ll do some added action on top of the storyboards aloof to asperous out the keyframes of how the appearance should move later. I aloof jump beeline into accomplishing the band art, the cleanup. I usually go one attempt at a time, I alpha with the characters and no backgrounds at all, I aloof do the cleanup. Afresh I ample it in and I alpha messing with the colors for the characters. Already I accept an abstraction of how to draw the character, I usually go straightforward, one attempt at a time, attempt afterwards attempt afterwards attempt afterwards shot. If I get a little fatigued from cartoon that much, I’ll action aback and alternating to accomplishing foley actuality for the action I’ve already done. I’ll do a little bit added complete design, afresh added animation.
Once I accomplishment all the appearance animation, afresh I do the backgrounds. I ambition I didn’t do them last, because they accumulation up. I aback accept to do 10 to 15 backgrounds. At this point in the short, it’s so abutting to actuality done that I’m absorbed up and I don’t appetite to delay any longer, so I end up accomplishing all the backgrounds in one day, and they’re affectionate of blowzy because I aloof appetite it done. As I’m accomplishing the backgrounds, one accomplishments at a time, I’ll alpha rendering, and I’ll anticipate about compositing. I don’t appetite to use too abounding compositing effects, but I usually do a little bit of blush correction. I sometimes add a little bit of blur, so it’s aloof a little softer. It depends on the abbreviate and what I anticipate it needs. I do that per shot. Already that’s all done, I’ll do a cede area it’s absolutely tiny and I can see how the accomplished affair looks, and if I like that, afresh I do the full-size render, and it’s done.
Which of your projects are you proudest of?
I’m absorbed to say I’m proudest of Palpatine’s Journey, aloof because it’s done the best of any of my shorts, and I still adore it, while a brace of my shorts I go aback to and think, “Oh, I’d do that differently.” Added than that, I would say Hatbox Troubles, but attractive at it now, I’m like, “Oh, I could do the apery so abundant bigger now.” I’m acquisitive to bead added of those later, and accumulate upgrading.
Do you still assignment on video games?
Me and my brother are developing a 3D game, but I’m not absolutely accomplishing any of the absolute work. I’m aloof administration abstraction art, appearance designs, and I’m allowance a bit with adventure stuff. Afresh he’s administration the clay and stuff, and absolute bold development. So that’s a absolute lax affair I’m doing. That’s alleged The Witching Hour. A audience will be advancing out this year, probably. We accept a Twitter account. The development’s advancing along, we’re not announcement a lot appropriate now, we’re affectionate of cat-and-mouse to get actuality done. Oh, and I’m accomplishing music. It’s a throwback, N64-inspired game, so I’m aggravating to do a banjo-inspired soundtrack, which is absolutely fun, that bequest affected apparatus sound.
Do you accept any absorption in blockage in games? Or is that added your brother’s affection at this point?
I acclimated to be added absorbed in accomplishing games. At this point, I feel like I’m so absorbed into accomplishing activated shorts that I don’t absolutely accept time to advance amateur anymore. Maybe 10 years bottomward the line, I’ll try something. But appropriate now, I’m aloof absorption absolutely on the animation.
Besides The Witching Hour, are you alive on any projects that you’re accustomed to allocution about?
I assumption not, but that was affectionate of my ambition for this year. Aback 2020 started, afterwards the Palpatine action did so well, I was like, “Oh, I don’t charge to do freelance anymore. I appetite to focus absolutely on my channel.” It did able-bodied abundant to cull that off, and I was able to upload added content. It was so agitative because it aloof blew up. Witches On Tinder, aback that one came out, it did appealing well, and I was like, “I can do beneath freelance.” And afresh that came out, and I was like, “Oh, I don’t charge to do any freelance.”
It’s been absolute difficult for me accepting assorted job offers, because my aptitude is, “Ooh, money! Ooh, work!” But I’m authoritative myself say no. I don’t appetite annihilation happening, so I can aloof focus. I apperceive I’m abhorrent at multitasking, so I charge to accomplish abiding this is the alone affair on my plate. It’s alive so far. I aloof austere up some freelance assignment and I should be open, so I can aloof assignment on the approach actuality for the blow of the year. But we’ll see. Someone ability appear at me with a accord I can’t deny.
How continued accept you been alive as a full-time animator?
Three years now, I think. Abounding time, apparently afterpiece to two years. I would say three years ago, it was absolute on and off, I was mostly accomplishing commissions for people, and sometimes I’d get some freelance animator work, but the aftermost brace years, I’ve been accomplishing freelance abounding time, aloof gig afterwards gig, usually music videos and stuff. You can acquisition them on YouTube. I don’t absolutely advance them, because they’re not so abundant my work, and they’re not done in my appearance or anything. I don’t anticipate bodies would absolutely care. It’s so clashing the actuality I commonly make, but they are out there. I did a little bit of action on an Adult Swim thing. It was for Studio Yotta, it was the Rick and Morty April 1 special. I activated three shots on that. That was the admeasurement of my freelance stuff.
How has that alteration gone, from activation for fun to axis it into your livelihood?
It’s been a continued time going. Certainly aboriginal on, abnormally with the animations, those were absolutely for fun. I was acquisitive they would do array of well, but at the aforementioned time, they were all ambiguous on accepting demonetized because they use copyrighted audio, and a lot of them have. But at a assertive point, attractive at the timeline, I assumption it was gradual, I started to think, “Okay, I absolutely appetite the approach to be accomplishing better, so I charge to be authoritative bigger shorts for it.” Eventually, the big axis point was Witches On Tinder, which I was absolute borderline about because it was my aboriginal aboriginal — in a while, at least, absolutely original, aboriginal audio — aloof my vision, and I was like, “I bet this won’t do absolute well. I bet bodies won’t like it.” At the time, it was one of my best successful, and I was like, “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, okay, now I charge to absolutely focus on the channel.”
