It ain't much yet, but then I've only been at it since November. For now, just look for substance because I ain't got no style!

ImagePastor John wanted to explore the whole concept of the angry thought in a message entitled “If Looks Could Kill.” I had a really cool idea which I was going to call Bloodsport but my wife figured the congregation wasn’t really ready for animated gladiatorial combat. I settled on this little animation, and though it locked up after about 15 seconds during the church presentation, it did generate an acceptable amount of laughter.

Or were they just laughing at Gery as he struggled in vain to make it all work?

ImageI'm glad to see visits to the site have been remaining steady in spite of the fact that I've been lax on my writing lately. I very much appreciate my vast membership still deigning to visit me even in these dry times. I want you to know that I love and appreciate all four of you, especially the vast ones!

I've been AWOL for a reason, though, and that reason is a "Read More" click away. I've been working on an animation for the church, part of which my registered members have already had the privilege of viewing. Dave the Possum made his church debut last night, and the only regret I have is that people never laugh at the right parts! I need to do some tuning for the next episode and try to make things flow a bit better, but all in all I like the character I've created and hope you will too.

I have to thank the folks at Toon Boom for their fantastic software, and ask that you not judge the quality of that software solely upon my complete lack of artistic talent. I'm still learning! All in all, they've been a great company to deal with (/wave Karina), and it's nice to see good product coming out of the Great White North (that's Canada to my Australian visitors).

ImageWell, as some of you know I've been using Toon Boom Studio to learn the 2D animation thing. If you didn't know that, read all about it here. I've decided to post this rather embarrassing piece of work for anybody who's interested in seeing what an animation newbie can come up with given a church mandate, short notice, and good software.
