Hey everybody I guess it's about time to update this thing for the first time in... 3 months.
Currently I'm sweating balls in my dorm because my fan is broken and this building heats up like an oven after a warm day. But other than that a lot's happened in the last few months, whether I can remember all of it right now or not.
I've finally gotten myself into the habit of making at least one interesting thing I guess. Since I've been in such an incredible rut for the last several months, it's about time I find my way out of it. I'm currently in my final week of my freshman year of college, I'm pretty bummed about it. 4 months at home away from all my new friends and a schedule I'd prefer to operate on (12pm-4am). I'm sure it'll be pretty decent though, a lot of free time to work on new cartoons and such.
And speaking of new cartoons, I'm about a week away from completing my next cartoon, seriously. About damn time right? Well the only reason I made it was because this is my animation final for my Beginning Animation course. I'm trying to fight my way into the one remaining spot for Intermediate Animation next semester.
Anyway, the new cartoon is called "Paul Voltaire, Pole Vaulter Extraordinaire" and it's about Pole Vaulting, really??? It's looking pretty good, I'm pretty proud of it for only working on it for about 2 weeks. I already have a rough cut of the cartoon completed that I needed to have polished for a student film festival my school is having next week. This is just the tentative version, the full version will be playing once I have it done (around Wednesday). If you'd like to take a gander I guess you can. If I didn't have bigger ideas for it, I'd probably just submit it right now but nah fuck you.
Other than that, I've done some more traditional animation such as McDribbles, it would be great if it weren't for the awful animation camera I shot it with.

All the other ones I did I don't care about so whatever. As for that, my other movie "In The Morning" AKA "Jim Wood" is on hold until I can stop hating it, since I occasionally alternate between loving and despising the cartoons I make. Maybe I'll finish it over the summer, marking the fact it's been almost a year since I started it. I think I've only spent like 2 months total working on it but oh well.
Welp, I guess whoever is concerned is filled in on the activities I've felt at liberty to speak of so yeah, yup. I leave you guys with a comic strip I drew for a thread on TheBackAlleys featuring me and MarcK, creator of the NG Halloween 2009 entry, Lychgate.

Sounds like my animation classes. But at least you got to do animation your first semester of school! I only started my first semester of sophomore year (Cus of gen eds)

They're cool here, they try to fast track you right into it since the school tries herald itself for animation. Proud of itself for being the cheapest school in the country in the Animator's Top 20 or something like that.
