Hi, TVPaint Users!

I've been making a short animated film called The Wheel Turns.
It is a 12 minutes long short film and it's done in 2d paintery style.
Story is about The prosaic subway operator. One day he suddenly changes to a toad and starts seeing the world differently.
We just finished the production and preparing for festival circuit now.
This is a workflow we did for entire film. TVPaint is an amazing tool. It can be worked with any pipeline and with any tools.


In the past, I worked as a Compositor for years in Visual effects company. so I could use that skill on the Wheel turns to push to fine look


This is a Facebook page we made. please like our page if you are interested, and want to hear more about this film. we will post every week for updates.

Yes, it will be available after we finish festival circuit. It will be probably next year.
We finished the film and we've been submitting it to festivals from this year.
Even full movie is not available on the web, please share anything to social media . we will keep posting fun stuff.
We are looking forward to finding audiences before festivals open.

Thank you so much !

Looks great!

I looked to your fB page. I liked 3d models and sculptures. Do you use 3d characters in some scenes for over painting. Or it is just reference for animator.

thank you Tylo:)
we used 3d Characters for the reference.

But, we used final 3d objects for Train and Truck, vehicles.
except those two we animated frame by frame.

It's realy good idea... As you can keep proportions..... and use in some extrime scenes..... I started animator "career" from 3d.. But i haven't found any good solution off mixing 2d and 3d...

yes. totally agree with you.
my background is Visual effects. So I am very familiar with 3d things.
BUT what i don't like about 3d was being tooooo stiff and being stuck in the box.

2D characters are amazing and I would do this way for every jobs from now.
