GoblinBug Productions uses VTubing Freestyle Animation methods and technology to enable rapid production of high quality, fast paced short form content without compromising artistic standards.
VTubing is already a massive, proven format in the live streaming space, yet remains largely untapped within the traditional studio pipeline. This presents a unique opportunity for your company to translate a format audiences already love into a premium short form ecosystem while benefiting from the speed, cost efficiency, and scalability this technology enables.
What is VTubing or Freestyle Animation? and what can it do for you?
This is a real time animation method using auto lip sync, facial tracking motion capture and pre-made animation triggers and toggles.
◽LIVE BROADCASTING
VTubing is real time animation so after investing in a rig of a character for scripted planned content, the same assets and rig can be used for live content of the same quality with no additional time or cost.The live option will always be there with each of these character rigs.
◽PIPELINE SPEED
After the asset library is finished for the character, the turnaround for shorts content is extremely quickand highly editable due to the pre-established asset library.With this VTubing pipeline, characters can react and be involved with trends in a more timely manner without sacrificing quality.
◽Engage audiences on the social platforms they use every day, promoting upcoming films, television, fashion, and experiences through fun, character-driven content◽Respond in real time to cultural moments, media cycles, memes and trends with timely short-form releases◽Significantly scale output to produce more content than a traditional pipeline without sacrificing the quality and artistry fans expect
