Animation, making cartoons!

[Masato]

I would be fully willing to do all of the animation on Toon Boom, if we could find someone who wants to draw all the characters. Drawing REALLY frustrates me, because I have the way everything needs to look in my head, but I lack the ability to get it to my liking on paper. If I am looking at a picture, I can reproduce that picture to a 99% likeness. If i am to try and reproduce stuff in my head, it just doesn't work for me.

I have tons of ideas for "What If?" Episodes, would be willing to full on write scripts for these, and animate these with use of others drawings. I made a stick figure walk across the screen and smile, I can surely make anything now :)

Dude I would be very happy to be in a situation where I could draw the layers and someone else can animate it. In fact I do this a lot already with my advertising work (making pieces for animatics) - problem is most animators mangle a lot of it up... lol some things are tricky to animate (perspective, physics, anatomy etc)

I think if I got a sketch of a character, facing forward, and sideways, I could make any animatiolook pretty fluid, with ought sacrificing or hacking up the looks of the art.

We should come up with a demo, and put it out :)

Already doing the video game for Sherdog on the side, a PM from Masato got me thinking. I always wanted to do animation as the next step of shooping, and I think I am going to take it up next as a hobby.

I have started with skeletons early today, and adding the body parts to go along with. I am learning how to attach the body parts to the skeleton now, then it's on to mastering the movements.

I will keep you all posted on my progress!

Going to start with South Park like animation first, in terms of movements, than graduate to a fresher Looney Tuneish look when I am skilled.

- How is the project going?
