so to share my annoyance here
(click on the image)



87 shots to go
also i was looking at a forum thread commenting negatively on the characters.  Sorry, i'm not changing the character designs, it's my  cartoon and i'm sticking with them, i dont plan on spending another 4-6 weeks (after finishing uni and work) to be reworking designs at midnight. I'd much rather be animating at midnight!
end
till the next post  :P Probly tommorow

jeremy and scene test 1

ok im officially renaming Jimmy to Jeremy as i messed up in the script and now ive got the audio with the board and theres no going back.(well there is im just too tired to do so!)



I was up till 4 in the morning breaking apart this thing into 87 shots to make it easier on myself... yeah... lol





heres my first test shot with the only character model i actually rigged up, took me 30 minutes but i wanted to show some animation on this blog finally! I dont know if anyone is even reading these posts but if you are thanks so much for taking an intrest in this! Expect more shots soon



edit:
Because I've got school tomorrow followed by work and insomnia's got me here's another turnaround i did just now, the dad will be there from the chest up so i thought i'd save some time by just designing the top half. SO THERE HAH. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

looking for musician for cartoon

Oh man it's 2 am, after a full day shift making sandwiches i cant believe I've still got the energy for this... BUT ITS SO GONNA BE WORTH IT
Ok so here's the deal,
I"ve now got 99.9% of the lines(5 lines need to be redone and are being redone) Doing the storyboard now, ive started compiling the voices together to make the scenes
BUT I now forgot I need music too! If any musician is willing to spend a bit of time to do some music for an indie cartoon i'm trying to pitch that would be awesome!!!
I'm looking for 2-3 tracks i can loop with a unique feel about them Ill explain to the person that's interested.
They will be background music to the dialogue(apart from a short intro-credit track)
but its just as important as every other part of this cartoon! So if you'd like to help out to do 1-2 little ambient (and unique) and 1 AWESOME short intro track for SueShi, the thing I've been working on for the last.....long... holyshitlong... while! Then please email me at designwaffle@gmail.com with just a couple of examples of stuff you've done and I'll tell ya exactly what I'm looking for. 
Thanks so much!
OK BED TIME JEEZ
