THE ALL MIGHTY LOAF

I don't know how, but I'm animating :-V 

This is cool.

Quuuestions and Reflections:

- How do I loop this animation in After Effects so I can have him walking forever, wherever?

- I'm keeping on top of my production calendar and it seems I've remembered how to animate..

- The only thing I'm not looking forward to is clean-up. But who knows how that will go.

- I'm going to have to figure out ho to do this: 

Like.. should I make a weird shape and just use the pin tool in AE? I need to find out how to... what is it, earthquake effect?? I want an earthquake effect on the animation itself. Mainly the character though, it doesn't need to be on the blood/brain-matter. Maybe I should just draw different scribbles every frame to make it looks like shooting blood/brain-matter. yeaah

So many flowers.. so many bones. My google history looks a little questionable now with all the skeleton pictures I've been looking up. 

The flowers ended up looking like some kind of cupcake.

Cupcake flowers. Cupcake flours. Doughboy.

I whipped these all out in a day. Except for that long one though. I avoided that one.

I animated some stuff too.

I was really happy with this. Last week I was certain I forgot how to animate and I had one of those fits of doubt. You know those fits that animator's always get themselves into; "Why'd I think I could do this?", "I was not meant to be an animator.", "Maybe illustration would be a better path for me." kind of thing. I spent a night just cringing at the monitor. But then the next day I decided to play dumb and just take everything super slowly. Used some arcs and messed around with timing and spacing. And now I feel good. I'm happy with this.

Oh, and here's a Production Still:

It's going to look like this.

I take my job very seriously.

You know what they say about them flurs

I was able to get most of the work I set out to do this week. I had to sacrifice punching out some backgrounds in order to get started on ToonBoom. I like the program so far. I need to learn some hot keys though - probably need to go into settings. I think I need to learn how to animate again too.. haa.
