Not yet done...


Ok so today is monday. How y'all doing. The weekend was pretty good but a lil hectic. Why? well I topped it of with working till 4am today trying to get that lil animation project done. I'm still not finished but wow I learnt so much! I am loving Anime Studio Pro! I see so many opportunities to use it once I figure out how to get around some of the more hectic kinks. I will definitely be able o finish of SSF II T CE DV + O .5 and make it look pretty cool. Here's a screen shot of it (the project). A lil cliche and all, I didn't design him but he is a lil fun looking guy isn't he? Well I'm having to redraw him in Corel Draw to retain line integrity but that is taking heaps of time and I discovered that AS Pro doesnt read powerclips so I may have to redraw it in illustrator, no biggie, I just have to learn the programme :P . I love the feel of animating!

Let the Exploits begin.

Ok so it all begins. What you ask? Well yesterday I got my first actual animation job, my boss has hired me as freelance animator to work on animating a character for one of his clients. It looks real basic but since I haven't done this in almost 6 years it's a little daunting. Well this will be fun, he wants it by next week, they are sorting out my payment and I am expected to start on it in the meantime. This is going to be ssome crazy relarning of Anime studio! I' not going to even try Toonboom yet but I think I will be able to pull it off.

I see Gods hand in all of this like crazy. It's as though He is saying ' What will it take to kick your behind into gear?! ok let me give you something that will stretch you'. I'm heaps expectant and as usuall already imagining great success and tonnes of follow on work. This is actualy going to push me towards my breakthrough goal of mastering anime studio and toonboom. This will be fun!
