interesting… don't care for the bright, unpleasant color choices, and the artwork overall, but, still, OK. The end space dome place was neat, nice R.I.P. casket doorway. Liked the bubble-looking main spaceship. Cute duck bird. God bless.

Ethana2 a lot of things in this music video are created using Bezier Curves. No toon shading was used.
Yes Creatoon is proprietary but is now free. You can use Blender for all kinds
of 2d animation, and there is a huge advantage in 3d space, Node editor, and no limits to effects that can be used.
But if you are using BITMAP images for something like collage animation you have to use a bit larger resolution
since Blender will render them a bit blurred. You can apply transformation in sequence editor if you really need
them to be very very sharp.
But if you are considering Ktoon and Synfig you might also take a look at Pencil traditional animation software.

Maybe I should take another whack at ktoon and synfig.
I've never heard of Creatoon, so I'm guessing it's proprietary.

I've always wanted to make something in 3d with cell shading and throw in unexpected perspective shifts. You know, something to make people say 'Whoa, that's actually /3d/? Wieeeerrrd'

It'd be sweet to make some kind of CC-BY-SA anime show like that.

I do not really remember how long it took to render.
A lot depended on OSA setting. Sometimes I had to rerender a scene,
some scenes that I had to render were not included in the final
movie and sometimes I rendered the background separately and then used
it as an image background rather then render everything for every frame.
All in all it was a lot less time then typical 3D rendering, yet longer then it would
take to render using 2d software such as Creatoon.

I like it - also that it is a bit slow (as mentioned beofre)—relax, no hurry….great + great
