So Far So Good...Almost...

So I've pretty much got the workflow down..I uploaded a quick test and the results are pretty favorable. Only problem I seem to be having is getting the video to be in widescreen format...I'll have to work on that...

A Little On The Slow Side..

Soo...haha the new "method" I have here has presented me with a bit of a road block. But none the less, I'm still making some headway.
I've put off the Sesame Street short for now and am working on a quick and easy short to help me find a good way to streamline my process using nothing but free software...damn blogger doesnt support tiff's...


Here's a quick screenshot of the video response I'm making for Three-Toes: Ask JB using said programs.

Time For A Change!

So I've been using a borrowed version of Toonboom for the last couple animations. I didn't want to have to buy the actual program, since it's way to expensive, nor did I want to pirate it...Too much trouble!

I remembered a couple of free alternatives. Open-source software that was promising. I hadn't really used them beyond the testing fazes but they have always been stuck in the back of my head.

After being teased with such great "paid" apps I wanted to go back to my roots. That is my broke roots :-D

From here on out (for at least the time being or I get the extra $$$) I'll be dedicated to using nothing but open-source apps for all computer aspects of the animation process. This little experiment should hopefully have some interesting results and I can't wait to see what kind of challenges will come up!

So Beginning tomorrow I'll be starting on a new short I had written up when I was bored... Hahah, It's a quick and simple little something that I hope will be a good starting point for this approach. Until then I'll be documenting this whole ordeal and hopefully have a bit of a "making of/ tutorial" video all set up.

Nighty Night!
