City of Rott Origin Test Voices for Characters in Film all voiced by F Sudol. These are characters I’m voicing for City of Rott Origin, a prequel to City of Rott 2006. These were pre-recorded as each voice takes a little bit of thought and practice so for the sake of time, I played back the recordings I made. These lines are improvised and will not be in the actual movie. All content by Frank J Sudol Copyright 2026 BlackArro Productions. Thanks for watching.
In this video, I talk about some of the scene set ups I created in 2005 and some of the challenges or thoughts and ideas I had during that time and now looking back 20 years, here in 2026. Also a great memory shared about first seeing my new release DVD City of Rott in the video store at the time, Hollywood Video, along with some screen shots of their website back from 2006, August. Thanks for watching! -F. Sudol
City of Rott Origin Test Walk Cycle 3 Frames Versus 15 Frames for Jon. There are fans who prefer the more basic, 3 frame walk cycle. With City of Rott 1, most walk cycles were 3 frames only per second, due to the limits of Image Ready. With City of Rott Otherworld, I was able to animate with 24 fps, but some fans felt it was too smooth and prefer the older 3 frame cycle. With City of Rott Origin, this is a direct comparison of 3 frames per second, like in City of Rott 1 when Jon, a zombie or Fred walks, compared to 15 frames per second in Guest of Evil or City of Rott Origin as my goal.
To reduce the “Jello” Gelatin bouncy look, I’ll keep the standing animations more basic and still, compared to the more dynamic movement that I’ve been using in my newer films. What do you prefer? 3 frames or the newer 15 frames walk shown here? I can understand why some fans like the older, more primitive walk cycle, though I personally like the smoother walk, and this is only 15 frames instead of 24 like in my 3rd City of Rott film. So this has a choppier look to it compared to that one. But 3 frames per second was never my goal even in the original film, and I had to reduce it to 3 frames (or 4) when they were walking because of the limitations of Adobe Image Ready, which was a very basic animation program add on for Photoshop, which eventually changed into Adobe After Effects, which I used for some of the zoom effects in Shock Invasion.
Image Ready, I was not able to scale/zoom or rotate in real time. Any time I took the bitmap layer and rotated it, then that would be permanent in the animation, and I’d have to create additional layers to get a different angle or scale. That meant I had to use Photoshop to pre-animate by flattening each character’s 3 frame walk cycle, then make them visible, invisible every 3 frames or so, to create the look of animation walking. I tried more frames, but then the amount of layers slowed my computer down to a crawl, very slow.
That’s why I had to reduce it back to 3 frames walk cycles so I could work more easily without the sluggish results of too many layers in Adobe Image Ready while animating. With my 2014 animations since Tales of the Dim, I am using a program called Anime Studio Pro 8, recommended by another animator to help make my work easier as a solo animator for BlackArro Productions.
It’s been a lot of fun to use and it does create in-betweens so I don’t have to animate those frames myself. My goal has always been smoother animations, trying to get away from the choppiness of my earlier work, which I would’ve had made smoother if I was able to back then. The limits of the software restricted it, along with my old 1999 Mac computer back then, which is considered obsolete and I don’t have access to it as normal with my 2009 Mac, which I still use today offline as I prefer the Mac OS over PC for my art and animations. Thanks for reading! -F. Sudol BlackArro Productions May 2026

Some plentiful videos posted above for the new City of Rott Origin film! Thank you to all of the fans of City of Rott throughout the world! Thank you also to the fans in Russia too! I appreciate your interest in City of Rott, as this film will cover Fred in his youth at age 26, before he quickly turns into an old man as seen in the events of City of Rott 1. Technically, this will be City of Rott 0, taking place before and revealing how the plague started, a prequel. I normally wouldn’t make a prequel but had enough ideas over the years that it’s a fun project for me to work on to celebrate 20 years since City of Rott 1 in 2006 August. Thanks! -F. Sudol
