Edit// I'm sorry about the ads. Theres a content claim on this video, I'm not proffiting from it at all.
[collapses] ITS DONE. Thank you, THANK YOU to Tinivee especially for doing SO MUCH editing. Tinivee edited over 50% of Leekbomb completely on their own, just when I was beginning to get burnt out on editing together nearly 4000 videos, Tinivee swooped in like an angel to finish the entire thing. They are my hero.
Check out ALL the Leekbomb parts here: • Playlist
I HIGHLY encourage you to check out some of the videos in the playlist! There's SO many incredible animators here to subscribe to and enjoy. All animators names are watermarked in the bottom left corner, so you can look them up if you see a leekspin you really like. Occassionally the font and size of the watermark will change, because certain sections of this hour long video were edited by different people. I am sorry for the inconsistency and hope it isn't too distracting.
What is a Multi Animator Project?
A multi Animator Project, or "MAP," is a type of animated project where multiple animators complete small parts of a larger video. Frequently, these projects are done by seperating a piece of audio into small chunks and assigning those "parts" to animators with a script or description of what should happen in their part. At the end, the host of the MAP compiles all the parts into a final video and shares it for everyone to enjoy.
What is Leekbomb?
In this map, all that was required for animators was to complete a short animation based on the classic meme "leekspin," a meme from the early 2000s that used a skat cover of a finnish folk song, "Ievan Polkka" by Loitama set to a low resolution gif of the character Orihime from the Anime Bleach spinning a leek with a happy expression. This meme was one I found quite a bit of joy in as a young person and thought was easy to replicate. I frequently run MAPs and the more well known I become as a host, the more people I have applying to my projects, and thus, the more people I am forced to turn away- I envisioned Leekbomb as a way to de-exclusivize my name and my projects, and to give ANYONE who wanted to participate in one of my projects the opportunity to do so. For Leekbomb, all an animator needed to do was submit their animation and it would be included in the final video. I expected 100 entries, perhaps something crazy like 500- there was no way I expected nearly 4,000. I am shocked and delighted by the outpouring of love this project has received, the amount of first time and beginner artists who felt motivated to participate and to become more confident in creating work they enjoyed.
Will you ever run another project like Leekbomb in the future?
I hope to! Next time I will have more rules in place to make compiling all the submissions easier, such as requiring artists to watermark their own submissions.
What's all this I hear about a Guinness World Record?
The Guinness World Record for most participants in a Collaborative animated film project is currently held by the Tate Project, with 1,897 participants. Leekbomb has blown past that number and I will be submitting it to the Guinness World Records, though it takes several weeks/months to hear a response from them. When I receive one I will update here with more information.
Can I make a leekspin even though Leekbomb is over?
Yeah! I don't own leekspin. Go nuts.
