This is wunderful.
It's not perfect, but it's well-animated enough.
I totally <33 it^^

yes, animation's the kewliest.
I'm gonna be majoring in that in a year. After I finish up highschool (can't wait to get out~ xD)

It somehow reminds me with Happy Feet. With that one penguin (drat, forgot his name xD) with soda plastic stuck on his neck when he was swimming around.
This is luv ;D

This is just plain BRILLIANT!
Hey Colonel, I was wondering. What classes are you taking? Animation?
Also, I am planning to be an animator when I grow up (that's if I make it.. XD) and I (the 8th graders) have been filling out papers and stuff for their high schools. If I go to this certain school where they have a magnet program for animation, then they will give me credit in college for it. Did you do this? My teachers are urging me to do it, but like no one in my school is going there so I will be all alone. XD Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks!
I started taking the foundation animation classes here, so we dont actually animate yet but im planning to.
As for early start programs, i've never taken one, i do everything myself, but i guess it'd be a good idea

Nice animation though. I would never have the time to draw it frame by frame. Even if it was just the otter.

Aieeee this is really cool, i've just got flash and am very much overwhelmed and confused XD did you do this through motion tweening? :3

colonel-strawberry In reply to Dullstar [2007-11-16 00:17:57 +0000 UTC]

The bg and shit is normally motion tweened, but all characters are done frame by frame

it isnt that you arent bowing to it, you just dont like it but you keep looking at it anyways, it just doesnt make any sense to me, you see?

you can continue being the little rebel, just dont bother me about what i already know. lol.
