Description Animation test. I haven't animated a thing in many months... mainly because it is very tedious.
Maybe I should just stick to graphic design. I'm not really diggin' animation for the most part. ...But maybe I should just try practicing? Nah.. I'm too impatient for that.
I need to slow down on the random fan art, it's starting to make me feel loser-y.

Aww don't feel loser-y... I like .

Oh and I know all too well about the tedium of animation. Programs like flash may make it easier with stuff like motion tweening and olive-skinning but it's still tedius.

A 4 minute 'toon wasn't a walk in the park back in highschool... but I won an award before I even knew I was nominated at the art show that year [/showingoff] .

NP . As I tell everyone, keep up the good work! And as tired and frustrating as it sounds (I used to get grumbly when people said this to me), practice makes perfect.

I say that to others too, so no problem. It's just the truth.

Yeah but it used to drive me nuts when my friends would say it. But eh it's true! Effort has its rewards .

Olive skinning? Did you mean onion skinning? Or...
I don't know how to motion tween things. ;O;

Ah dude, that's awesome! I too have won awards for stuff like that.
I won $75 1st place for an art piece once, and $30 for winning 3rd place
in both of the two category's of the same literary contest.
Tell me about the contest, I think such things are interesting. Do you
have the animation here?

Onion skinning *hits head* I haven't been animating the last few years but eh... I got the first letter right . And motion tweening isn't that hard, just getting an object to follow a path or move so you don't have to animate each frame for something simple e.g. a ball bouncing.

Nah the animation's not online since it used copyrighted material (music mainly) but basically the art show came up about a month after I finished the toon and since I put a lot of the work that year into the animation I didn't think I'd be in it let alone get an award but then out of the blue I get told I'm receiving an award. Plus I think the school wanted to show off all sorts of creative art forms and from my knowledge there hadn't been any animators through there apart from a 3D piece in previous years. In a previous year I got featured in the art show for a digital photo of my dog camouflaged/blending into a garden which had great colours... but also I think it got picked because again I was one of the first to be using digital photography (pre-phone cameras and back when 2.0 megapixels was cutting edge stuff).

That made me giggle.
Sounds simple enough. I suppose I should take another whack at it.

You should post it anyways! Everyone else here uses copyrighted music, I mean as long as you credit the music artist I suppose.
You wont get banned or anything on here (I wouldn't think so, at least.. I see people do it all the time).
Youtube is a little more... nnngghh when it comes to using others music.
So I can understand that when it comes to certain websites.
I would really like to see it. At least in an email or something someday.

I might post clips but yeah, I'm treading lightly as far as copyright's concerned.

Well, I'm sure no one will do anything. Millions of people use copyrighted stuff everyday.
...I guess I just don't understand, haha.
I mean, it's just the Internet.
Anyhoo ~ let me know if you post any animations anywhere.
