I animated FLAVOR FOLEY’s music video Human ft. SF-A2 Miki!!! @flavorfoley.bsky.social Here’s a thread of my process work on the video as the artist/animator 🤖✨🤝 🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbuN...

Jamie P. dm’d me in November to ask if I had any availability to animate a music video for FLAVOR FOLEY! I, of course, answered affirmatively in a composed and calm way

The video had a tight turnaround, so their concept was to have some simple B&W sketchy pieces, and a simple looping hair blowing animation for the refrain, which would go from sketchy -> lineart -> colored. I imagine they meant for maybe a couple sketchy pieces but I’m insane, you see

FLAVOR FOLEY wanted Miki to look robot-y, and wanted something visually different from her official designs. I immediately got to sketching some, but you can already tell what the problem is. ITS JUST A VARIATION OF HER 2009 DESIGN (BECAUSE ITS GOOD AS HELL AND IM BIASED)

I did also sketch what the refrain would look like– I immediately knew she needed different expressions for each version, with a big cute smile at the end!!! SHE'S HUMAN SHE'S REAL SHE'S HAPPY

Thankfully FLAVOR FOLEY gave me some more constraint ideas for Miki's design (i thrive on contraints): fluffy hair like her 2025 design, “weird eyelashes”, stars, “if we can have navy that’d be cool”, “ROBOT LINES!!! ROBOT JOINTS!!! THIS IS NON NEGOTIABLE!!!!!!”
