Plugging

The most interesting thing about animation is the way that you can draw a series of lines and then send them off and get back a little movie with your lines all happily moving around and giving the equisite feeling of movement...

You gave something life, simply by drawing lines.

I have been working on Animated Farragut for a while now, and NeoFX (The company doing the assembling) sends me back proofs every time I finish an animation set, and it's fun to see the little characters move and dance about.

And know that I did that.

Recently, NeoFX sent me an actual cut from the show, where one of my animations was actually put into the scene, and synched with the recorded voice...

Wow... I DID that. There's my character, talking and blinking and turning his head...

It's really gratifying.

Wierd, huh? I think most people would think that sitting for hours, erasing lines and redrawing almost the exact same line would be maddening after a time...

But I don't...

I wonder what would make me, an ex-ADHD kid, capable of doing this? Fascinating, isn't it?

I wish I could show you some of my work, but I've been working under wraps, and I can't share anything just yet. But you will get to see it! I promise!
