Carbot creates parody animations normally featuring 1-2 minutes in length weekly based on popular video games, such as Starcraft, World of Warcraft and Diablo.
Some information about CarbotAnimation
- His first episode debuted on Youtube two years ago. Since then he has produced 108 animations between 1 to 2 minutes in length.
- CarbotAnimations are created by one man, Jonathan Burton.
- He has his own Studio called CarbotAnimations, but was recently hired for his works by Blizzard Entertainment, to create more animations for their games.
- It has not been nominated for any awards, due to the nature of his work, and his audience. All his works are currently online and featured almost exclusively on Youtube. He does however have 442,000 subscribers. With his most popular video seeing over 2 million views, and many of his 108 averaging over 1 million.
- Carbot's intended style is simplistic, but based around comedy and parody. He takes well known issues in gaming, and turns them into something funny that many or all people can relate to. Carbot animates frame by frame using Adobe Flash, and has even provided some 'how to' guides on his workflow. His animations are simple, yet flow extremely well. His sense of movement, audio and timing is simply perfect.
- Carbot's animations appeal to me, because they are something I can relate to as a gamer. Not only this, but they are simple yet extremely effective. He shows that one man can create great and successful animations by using some humour and putting in the time.
Here he has done a parody of the Trailer for Blizzards latest Diablo III expansion : Reaper of Souls.
