The Doodle Notes System

These are the steps on how Doodle Notes will be bringing forth awesomeness:

STEP ONE. Initiate a BIG project

Start a BIG ART PROJECT and make every other contents evolve around it.

There will be three groups of contents that will be the fruits of the big project namely: main contents, fill-in videos & secondary contents.

STEP TWO. Choose the final product

The final product of the big project can be either of the two:

Films or short films(animated or live). It can be based on an existing work or not.

Web series(animated or live). It can also be based on an existing work or not.

STEP THREE. Fill-in the GAPS!

While working on the BIG projects, the fill-in videos will keep the main channel active.

AVAV(A Very Amateur Video) are animated and live videos done to test some Visual Effects that will be used on the big project. Or it can be videos that we do for fun. These videos would range from 40 to 60 seconds.

Fan Mode videos are 3D animations done as a fan or for the fans. It involves modeling/remodeling characters from popular cartoons/movies and animated according to what the creator desires or the audiences request.

You can make requests on both contents: Click here for more info.

STEP FOUR. Share the Knowledge

and Give Updates!

Share the sets of skills and lesson acquired throughout the making of the big art project, through the secondary contents:

Vlogs are for updates and other announcements concerning Doodle Notes' endeavors.

Tutorials & Timelapse videos on using GIMP, Krita, Blender and other programs that will be used in the making of the big project.

Behind-The-Scenes or The Making Of videos for each/some of the main content or fill-in videos.

STEP FIVE.

What is Doodle Notes?

Doodle Notes is company that focuses on providing
YouTube contents, mainly animated and live films.

The MAIN CHANNEL will provide the main contents: animated or live short films, shorts, web series, music/lyric videos & VFX shorts.

The SECOND CHANNEL will provide the secondary contents: Vlogs, Tutorials & Timelapse videos, The Making Ofs and Behind the Scenes, etc!

Regardless of having two different channels, Doodle Notes
have only one Mission and Vision:

"Bringing forth Awesomeness to Glorify the Awesome"

Mission

"Bringing forth Awesomeness"

means providing awesome artistic contents on every platform where artworks can be published.

From digital arts to animated or live films.
Doodle Notes will share not only the final product of an art project
but also the process of how it's made.

Vision

"To Glorify the Awesome"

means to give glory to God.

Doodle Notes envision's to become a company
that sets its standards according to God's.

We may not make religious contents more often
but we'll make sure that our videos doesn't contradict to God's teachings.

The Underland Project

A very big fan project that

I'll be doing as tribute to Suzanne Collins'

Underland Chronicles.

NO FILM ANNOUNCED!

Despite being the first series that Suzanne Collins wrote, There are no hints of adapting Underland Chronicles into a film, even an animated one. I really want to see atleast a short film that's based in the book but since no one's making it, I'll do it myself!

VERY FEW FAN ART!

I've searched and searched and searched online for fan arts based on the series but only a handful came up and only a few are really good ones. I've been wanting to SEE(not just read) the characters and locations in the book and seeing fan arts of them are very interesting, only there's not much fan art around so I'll be making plenty!

LEARNING WHILE HAVING FUN!

Venturing into this project would give me lots of opportunities to:

Learn writing through reading,

Practice my Blender skills &

Practice my filmmaking skills.

Since I'd be reading the book again and again to effectively bring the characters to life, I'm also planning on modeling the characters and locations in the series and doing some animations with them, which will give me lots of opportunities to practice using Blender which I plan to use on more film projects in the future. And since I'll be making an animated series, I'd be able to experience the challenges of going through different stages of a production of an animation.

COZ I LOVE IT!!

Gregor the Overlander is the first "thick" book that I attempted to read during the time that I'm too lazy to even pick up a book. I wouldn't be able to write a proper English sentence or even speak in English fluently, if I hadn't bought that book. It initiated my desire to read and write stories. For almost 8 years, it consumed me and I just gotta do this. So with that in mind, and in heart, I'll be pushing through this project passionately. 😁😁😁

The main goal of this project is to bring to life some portions of the book through 3D animated shorts.

The project's future relies so much on how much reception each animation get.

For the time being, I'm calling this Project:

The Underland Project: Chapter 1

And this project's end result will be a 5-episode web series, that will aim to accurately visualize Gregor and Boot's decent to Underland up to Gregor's failed attempt to escape from it. Each episode will have sub-products, which are the following:

Character & Environment Models

I'll be modeling every element that's described in the book using Blender to fulfill my dreams of SEEING the world upon which the story resides. I'll be using these models to create the rest of the project results. I might also give away the models for free for all ye Underland fans who wants to create more fan arts as tribute to the series.

Gimp & Blender Artworks

Using the models of characters and environment, I'll be creating artworks that will visualize all of my favorite moments in the books. I'll also make Gimp arts while making concept arts.

Gimp & Blender Tutorials & Timelapse videos

And since there'll be a lot of modeling, rigging, animating, etc., going on in this project, I won't hesitate in making tutorials and timelapse videos. I'm pretty sure I'll be learning a lot as I go through this project and I'd be happy to share what I'd learn. :)

Each episode will also be designed to force me to tackle into some
3D animation challenges such as: crowd rendering, creating city/landscapes, fluid and smoke simulations, etc!

So yeah! If you're interested about the project and want to be notified about some stuff about it, just go to the links below.

Daily Updates on Facebook or Twitter

I'll be giving daily updates of my progress on my Facebook page or Twitter.

All of the high-resolution artworks will be uploaded on my Deviantart account.

Videos on YouTube

All of the videos that'll be produced from the project will be uploaded on my YouTube channels:
