Description This animation has many stories. This is the year 2008 where I'm still practicing frame by frame animation and get A++ in animation class back in highschool and I was Junior that time. This animation gets recognition in my HS Palm Springs and I get well known after being published in yearbooks. I became the President of Anime Club on Senior Year after this too and also put in Yearbook class because of digital skill. So many points I got in Senior year just with this animation. The software I used back then is paint tool sai and gimp for animation. Paint Tool Sai that year is 1.0.0 and the first official release since it's done in May before vacation. My tablet is Pen and Tablet on which is the smallest Wacom Black tablet that cost $69.99 and it was really hard to line art with upon small size. I started using Pencil Software in 2010.

This animation too helped me form an animation team during my Anime Club Regime on Senior year. Those are who I called "Acordanimators Team" or the LeadStaff in CNSY.

I'm dumping the original project but keeping the images due to the large consumption of 455 MB in my hard drive. Decided to upload it since I recently found this. I uploaded it in 2008 in my old deactivated account !RJBlueAceLite1014 so probably some have seen this before. The Character is actually "Kanamimi" this is why I named my life size doll Kanamimi. She's fit the description.

About the animation::
The animation is about Kanamimi's first day in HighSchool. She was too nervous cause she was a Japanese but born in New Zealand meaning a Japanese that can't speak any Japanese language and recently move to Japan. She's scared that despite she's a Japanese, she can't speak on which gives her fear for her struggle in Japan System. (My back story in 2008)

Revising the animation::
I'm planning to dump the old set and revise this with my newest style of animation. Hope you found out how my animation was back then 2008. It's 2013 meaning I've been animating for 5 years now plus MS Painting Animation in 2004 gives a complete 9 years but digitally 5 years.

Project Elapsed: 3 Months
Software: Gimp and Paint Tool Sai
Art Level: Level 20
Skill: The Succession

Note: Criticism on the following animation is pointless since it's really old.

xD or you just saw what Sharriq commented below haha, well yeah, it looks kinda similar to that Clannad scene but I'm more of thinking Haruhi Suzumiya like but never knew that scene in Clannad exist lol something I can never remember when making it 5 years ago.

Actually no, this project is discontinued since 2008 and also the rest of the frames are not colored. Discontinued indeed but I still get a lot of points making this short. I gain animation recognition on which really encourage me to support animation and study it more.

lol I didn't expect the coincidence. Yeah probably cause I watch both Kanon and Clannad that year too. I'm really practicing animation that year as well.

I guess only California have those classes in HighSchool well, universities will never miss it xD I would be happy to release my very own tutorial and I tutor the easiest way to make something. Promise, I have all shortcuts and free software to share xD

DO ITTT> cause right now i'm using flash, photoshop (kinda) and ToonBoom (not really- just started). btw, Mind watching my page so you can comment on my work?

AceLive-Project In reply to HIROmanga [2013-02-08 02:51:44 +0000 UTC]

I will, I will create a tutorial probably on the free software first and then head to Anime Studio to Toonboom. Btw what ToonBoom are you using? I got the ToonBoom Animate Pro for $1999 and it was the only thing that makes my animation really 100x better. I also use Anime Studio Pro around $349 and it was like the easiest software with same bone structure like toonboom and simple for small projects. I don't use Adobe Flash. When I make flash, I simply render AVI and convert it to flash instead. I don't somehow understand Photoshops circles but that's just me since i'm not used to photoshops....

Also watches, you better watch back xD

I have anime studio 6 but i'm really bad with it so i never use it. I have toon boom studio pro that i pirated online. Photoshop is layer based and much more time consuming than flash and really isn't for anything more than cleaning up and coloring. I know you can use after effects for plenty of FX and stuff because i watch a guy do it all the time and it looks amazing.

Haha I'm thinking of asking you to join my team of animators lolol anyways, I could show you this one >>> [link]
It's still need more Voice Acting Edit but I release it only for the person who commissioned me but anyways my voice suck on this version. I plan to release the better one in Feb 14 since the genre is romance.

HIROmanga In reply to AceLive-Project [2013-02-08 15:43:12 +0000 UTC]

Oh I'd love to join! It'd give me some direction in animating lol. I can do voices too, but my voice is a little on the ligher side: [link] :I can do effects as well as video clean up if you want. I've been practicing those techniques on the side. oh btw, are you against pirating? Cause you can use adobe audition for cleaning up your voice overs and adobe soundbooth for creating SFX (like wind and nature elements needed in the animation you linked). I have both.

Yeah! This is my first animated project the last 3 months back in high school days. Actually this give me a lot of recognition in digital classes in school and forcing me on art club or anime club for president and gain popularity on campus for anime animator of the year or so as it says in the yearbook 2008-2009 xD I was a junior back then. Also the reason I formed a team. Now, my animation is 100x better than this one lol xDD

That's cool! ^^ And your drawing style from 2008 to now have improved a lot! Unfortunetly I can learn how to draw on the weekends and if I have free time. Even though right now I can draw, if there wasn't a quiz tomorrow I would've started to draw. But unlike me, if I draw something right now I might forget something on the quiz. Yeah sucks I know! TT.TT And the subject for the quiz is not my best subject so yeah! XD Okay I know this is not what I should be talking about! XD But if I get better at drawing, maybe I should do an animation too! ^^

I guess so, this is really my very first projected animation using Pen Tablet rather than pixels with MS Paint. I also gain a lot from this animation specially in my High School days.
