feels like i should have died like all those other animators long time ago already, but oh well 2012 is still going..
and it's going STRAOWNG.!
been thinkin how awesome it is how many animators back from that time that it was back then got into working professionally in different ways. NG is still a great platform for aspiring animators I think.
and it ended up providing even me a job as an animator for a tv production. well it may have been a demo reel they saw on vimeo but yaa knoww i would have never animated all these things if it wasn't for Newgrounds sake.
If I didn't stumble across it in 2000 by using a dial up modem, looking for anti-teletubbies on google and if I didn't watch the Xiao Xiao stick animations that were at the top of the portal back then I wouldn't have horribly failed to animate a stickman parcouring across the screen, and i wouldnt have wanted to submit a submission and receive a green and eventually BLUE SCORE that was over a 3.50 rating, which made me submit an ILoveEgg episode stating I was co-authoring it, which would have never let to Tom Fulp deleting my first account with all those crappy submission that just barely made it through. I would have never been so frustrated by my obvious failure, I would have never used the BBS as a portal to release my teenage angst, I would have never posted threads about "Sqeezy the Rubber" doing a fake casting for animators so they would draw Sqeezy fan-art, i would have never raised so much hatred by users they would create an Anti-Sqeezy Club, i would have never met Luis, which eventually let to the Time-Trials and me actually trying to animate, making me improve over time in order to show those hat0rs eventually, entered and won the first contests held and spent that money on a girl met over at sheezyart which was pretty much a hide-out for animators from NG which were also artists, back when there was no art portal and stuff. and I would have probably never gotten so depressed if I hadn't created all my life-structure using the internet.. but I would have never gotten so strong out of it.
well
what was that just now? a little story telling gramp? i see.
Twas really part of my youth and therefor growth so I will always look back to you in a form of nostalgia, NG
Anyway back to the present. The animations I will be doing are for a german comedy science show "Es geht um mein Leben" (don't look it up, by what I've seen it's fairly emberassing. (Hi Pierre!))
Animation work is starting just now basically so I am doing the complete opposite of what I'm supposed to do right now. It's the first real animating i'll be doing in.. don't even know how long. so wish me luck or something, or determination. I've been an awful quitter and that's what i'm known for so hopefully that changed. I will let you know and probably watch the things or episodes when they are done. I would even enjoy doing the translation and sync.
I could probably cramp a YouTube video or a link to something else I've been doing in here. hmm.. it would probably look weird. I wonder if you're still reading, if I put a video inside you probably watched that first, maybe you are reading and watching it at the same time? amazing.
ok here I go. it'll be My May 2012 In Photosequences. This will give you an idea of what my life might look like, or at least what I've captured during the month of may this year.
