Holy hot damn. I achieved a lifelong dream this year.

Posted by railtoons - October 4th, 2017

Ever since I was 12 it's been my life goal to have my own animated series. This year, amongst one of the most intense years of my life, I've actually done it. I've made my own animated series.

And I'm damn proud of it.

It comes out in October 2017. It's called Swift & Loose. It's a detective series about grief and empathy and making something better of yourself. And I have no idea whether anyone will watch it, let alone enjoy it, but at the end of the day I've created something that I think I'd like to watch myself. I've put a monumental amount of effort into this project, and on the other side of it I can say I've actually completed a lifelong dream. And it's damn good. Fuck yes.

Give the trailer a look here. Subscribe if you want. Make time for your animation dreams, kids.

Cheers! It'll be a 9 episode season, 4-7 minute episodes, released weekly.

Very impressive trailer, kudos! :D

4-7 minutes a week? Did you make them in advance to release weekly? your trailer looks pretty good, but making that in a week doesn't seem possible.

Haha yes absolutely, they're made in advance because I specifically didn't want 2-3 month waits in between each episode. I'm a fan of classic episodic TV and wanted that week-to-week feel for the release. Making them as you go would indeed be a crazy undertaking.

Fantastic to hear! the best way to actually get things done is to finish all of it before saying anything about it. when you start your next season, assuming there is one, don't tell anyone you're working on it until it's done.

There are 3 Episodes out now and so far I can say you have all reasons to be proud. It's a great work and I can't wait for the next episode (*_*)~♥

Also a big compliment to everyone working with you. Everything, the animations, the music and the voices fit so perfectly together. The atmosphere is just amazing. Can't say much about the story until its over, but until now I really like it. The characters are well written and... nah, I better keep my full review for the last episode (^.~) My experience says, that good series sometimes tend to have a shitty end ruining everything I loved. But we will see (^.^)

Thanks! Haha, well hopefully you enjoy the ending of Swift & Loose. Personally I think the penultimate episode is one of the best in the whole series, so you've got a lot to look forward to. (^.^)

And what a series it's turning out to be! :) Impressive work so far.

Amazing :clap:
Question: Why do you use Toon Boom instead of Flash?

Holy hot damn. I achieved a lifelong dream this year.
