Yngwie - animated!

[Horganovski]

My first love was the guitar, my 2nd was animation. While studying with iAnimate last year I found a fun way to combine them, thought I'd share it here as I'm sure there are some Yngwie fans around.
Ok, I'm making fun of him, but it's done with love

I also made a 'making-of' video for fun with lots of guitar noodling.

Hope it gives you a chuckle!

I couldn't get past the fact he was holding an Ibanez.

Many thanks for checking it out guys, glad you liked it!

Re him holding an Ibanez - part of the brief for the exercise from our teacher was to try to make our characters unique and not base them 100% off the person who did the dialogue. So rather than trying to make him look exactly like Yngwie, with a Strat etc, I gave him the name 'Chad Fantastic' and made up a back story for him that he was a shredder from the 80s. So not too dissimilar to Yngwie but not exactly the same.

First post.

Nice stuff, funny too. "Less is more, how can that be?" lol

 

[Horganovski]

Thanks! And yeah, that line was so ripe for parody, so funny that he literally doesn't understand the concept of less is more. You know though - the more I worked on the piece (listening to the dialogue over and over in the process) the more I thought - you know maybe he's right - more is more!

OP isn't showing any video for me. Can someone post a link?

 

[Horganovski]

Might be a browser thing I guess, here's a direct link (Vimeo) https://vimeo.com/83874858

The video didn't show on my iPad (Safari) but was there when I hopped on my Windows lappy (Firefox). Probably a flash thing.

I guess that might be it, the video I uploaded is MP4, but probably the Vimeo player is Flash based.

I loved it but was dying to hear and see some shredding, or mockery of shredding, mmmmmmmmmmmmore guitar!!!! more is more!

 

[Horganovski]

Many thanks! I'd definitely like to do more with this character but it takes a while as animation is a really time-consuming process (makes me appreciate how immediate music is, relatively speaking). Animating his fingers in particular took ages since there were so many controls to deal with. That's a real 6-string arpeggio he plays when he says that line though (CMaj with a G in the bass) and a real E Major chord shape at the end
