Google Search Story - Apt. 308 Style

So Youtube has this thing going on where you can create your own Search Story. I tried it out and it's pretty fun for a laugh. I made an Apartment 308 one but found it lacked a little commentary. So I downloaded the file, and spiced it up a bit!

In the mean time production is coming along much slower than anticipated. The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy for me. Going up and down, up and down and now car troubles. Not to say that it's at a halt but things are begining to get on track once again.

Says-A-Me Street Test Clip

Here's the quick clip I promised! It really is just a quick clip of what I'm working on. No sound or timing involved at all...
It also wont looked so rushed, I just wanted to put together a quick lil something for all those who may be interested!
In slightly related news, I tested out the newer Toon Boom Animate and I have to say I love the vectorization feature in that program MUCH better! After going back to Toon Boom 4 (which I'm using for this short) I noticed how much more jagged the imported drawings become. Sigh...time to start saving for an upgrade!

Some iPad Filler...

So I love to use RSS. Unfortunately (depending on your opinion) lately it's been filled with non-stop news of the iPad which is basically an over sized iPod touch.As much as I'd like to see the tablet market evolve a bit, especially since all my work is done on a Fujitsu Lifebook (the one linked there is the closest I could find to my T4010 model), this little bit of technology seems a bit...gimmicky?
Anyhow I'm hoping that it will at least re-ignite the tablet industry. Until then however, I have yet another filler video! Made it the late wee hours of the night I present to thee....

Filler...

Ok so I've hit a "writers block" these last couple of weeks and now I seem to be slowly coming out of this slump. Since i lagged the last Apt. 308 cartoon that i was supposed to be working on and sorta scrapped the idea of the story I felt bad and wanted to put something up. And what better way to fill the void than with some classic filler!



Yes if you've watched it already thats all there is to it...complete waste of time? Possibly, but hey seriously, what else would you have done for three and a half minutes?

Back Story: This kitty is grumpy...Stare contest!

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.

Finally! New Apartment 308 Finished!

After a few days of setbacks the second Apartment 308 short is now LIVE!
Woo..



Now, time to work on the next cartoon..
