Mitch's Animation Anxiety Attacks

welcome to the life of Mr. Ball.

In this episode of Mr. Ball, Mr. Ball comes across a wall. Hilarity ensues when Mr. Ball attempts to climb over this "wall" only to find that it is indeed a trap of magnanimus porportions.

So everyones gone home for the day at Southbank, so I thought I'd kick back my feet and do some old fasion drawing... WITH A TWIST! A twist you might ask? YES INDEED my friend, for this was all drawn with a mouse in Flash

So, as you can all see, I've been experimenting with different types of animation. Well by experimenting... My teachers been forcing it into my brain like mind rape. But I'm not exactly saying no... does that make me a whore?

Anyways so far it's been a wild ride, even though it's only been 2 weeks and a day. Not once have I felt the need to gaze dreamily out the window. I guess that's because the computer screen is my new window because the amount of possibilities I've been handed is nil to endless. Kinda like Courtney's 'Ya Mum' jokes.

I've also got a whole bunch of awesome idea's for cartoon's that I'm itching to havea go at once I'm a little better at this whole 'animation' stuff. If anyone wants in on one of my crazy projects, you know who to call.

Anyways, I've had enough to Blogging tonight so I'll leave it at Dan's obssession with Schindler's Lift.


Peace out Love Children.

There's nothing more sexy than treating yourself to the eye candy that is Fish-Ball...

This is me mucking around for the first time with the 3D aspect of Adobe After Effects.

As you can see. I put great detail into making sure the moon was in fact flat and not spherical. Ok, so it's shit... but I promise great things to come from me :D

I can feel myself being sucked into another craze. *looks around and taps foot lightly on the ground to inspect the sturdiness of the floor* Damn you blogger.com you seem almost too comfortable to be a part of... This is probably all a part of Ian's (my animations teacher) evil master plan to turn myself and serveral other budding animators like me into inbetweener drones for his secret mind controlloing cartoon. I'm dead serious. I was going through his laptop the other day (pretending to go through my emails) when I saw a file marked "pr0n" naturally out of curiousity I checked out it's contents only to find incriminating evidence towards mind-conrolling means. Manipulative tactics and suspicious documents called crazy things like "The_Idiot's_Guide_To_Becoming_An_Evil_Animator.pdf" and "Class_Prayer_ Printouts.doc" I clicked on the class prayers one and I found this.

"This is my pencil. There are many like it but this one is mine. My pencil is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my pencil is useless. Without my pencil I am useless."

I'm on to you Ian. You think you can get inside my head, *Put's on helmet made out of Aluminium Foil" well think again.
