Tip 003 - Don't Dress up as the Fatman

2007-09-26T13:49:00.000-07:00

This has been quite fun, never have I animated anything just using the brush tool, and it's quite a release, I normally use the pen tool, or even the pencil tool for everything. Santa has his own holiday, so don't dress up as the Fatman!

Aniblogathon is coming to an end, and our projects will soon be revealed. More to come.

I actually drew it on the back of a storyboard paper, which explains the little squares in the background. more to come.

ANIBLOGATHON!

2007-08-24T09:53:00.001-07:00

What is Aniblogathon? Good question! Aniblogathon is a group of friends, and graduates from the Art Institute of California- Los Angeles. We decided to challenge ourselves to each animate a short film in thirty days. We all decided our own themes, and direction for our individual projects. We each have our own style, and our own sense of humour. So tune in. More to come soon.
