Hello everyone, huge fan of Sumthindifrnt's work but I'm curious if anyone can give me an estimate of how long he usually puts out shorts and projects. I just don't want to get my hopes up into seeing something any time soon
Short answer: Late August or Mid September is my estimate, and maybe a 6min or so short in-between production, coupled with other 1min shorts.
Long Answer:
It variates greatly. For example in 2017 alone he released 2 big projects (17min and 21min) and also did a "short" which was about 16min with it mostly being animation. Last year MBF2 was his only big project which was 24min but he also did 3 "shorts" of 11min and 6min, plus the actual 1min or less shorts.
If I had to take a guess, besides IRL issues Sum simply lost interest in his latest release which was 15min long, almost half of it stills and considered a "big" project, also a couple of the shorts released on this year were below his previous works. Still he has increased the quality of his animation when he´s into it, and for his next big project (Neighbours Wife part 2) he seems quite interested. So it should be his best-looking project or look just as good as MBF2, also around 20 min long. After learning a bit about animation and assuming this is Sum´s Job (not expecting him to do 6-8 hours a day for five days a week thou) I would say NW2 will come out in Q3 2019 and maybe, just maybe another project or a 10min short before the end of the year or early 2020.
