Hyping Up!

This past week, I've been hyping up for the release of the upcoming American release of Flipnote Studio 3D.
So of course, because of this, I've gone back to using Flipnote Studio. Not for creating Flipnotes, but just viewing 'notes that I've downloaded.

This doesn't mean I'll switch back to animating on Flipnote though. That'll just be going backwards. Like going from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 2.
This time around, I'll be using it casually.

I've grown fond of using Flash because it's so advanced and I can create better quality animations.
Speaking of which, I gotta get back to work on the video.

Back to the Pocket

Maybe some of you guys know, or maybe not, but I love Back to the Future! Best movies ever, next to Wreck-It Ralph, which is another equally amazing movie.
I bring this up because awhile ago, I decided to give myself a project to work on, which is to create movie/game posters of my favorite movies/games using my characters(which I still haven't properly introduced to you guys)

Here's a poster of Back to the Future:
It was created on the Nintendo 3DS with an app called "Colors! 3D." If following this blog for awhile, you probably would've guessed that. It looks fantastic in 3D.

I tried really hard on not making the background all plain and one-colored.
This was completed awhile back, so looking back at it now, I'm thinking to myself now, "Gawd, it's so semi-awful."
I've been meaning to share this awhile ago anyways.
I think I did a decent job, though. I was planning to create some sort of "series" of these, so for example, I was gonna do a Cave Story poster, maybe a Wreck-It Ralph one; I don't know anymore. I was actually working on a Cave Story one, but I became stumped on matching my characters with the characters in the game, which is kind of the reason I stopped on doing something like that.
Eh, I'll probably skip that one and carry on.

I will admit though, I had zero references on any buildings, or the train, so I'll admit, some things are not screen-accurate.
At least I tried.

Production Starts Today!

Just like how the title stated, production for my first animated YouTube video starts today!
I know making a big deal out this seems childish, but I really haven't posted anything at all on the Internet for some time.
And what I mean by that is an animated video that can reach a broad audience. Last time I posted in that situation was before Flipnote Hatena closed, so posting again, especially in a tough crowd like YouTube, is pretty big.

Okay, posting here could count, but this place really doesn't get have enough traffic that I can depend on posting here only, you know what I mean?
Plus, I kind of like how slow things are going here anyways.

Besides the point, production officially started today, and it's just me, myself, and I...and another guy. I'm doing everything expect the music, and my partner is doing the music.
Try not to expect a whole complete Disney-like amazing video, but I will try my best.

The video has been temporarily titled "Brainstorm Drizzle."

Test Animation: Part One

Sorry, but there's no video to accompany this post.

Now, before I actually start making the video, I've decided to create a short animated video to have a small warm up to lip sync.
I haven't animated anything in a while, so I thought this little "warm-up" video can get myself caught up on my animating skills.
I'm really WAY past my due date for that video, so this month has to be the month.

It sucks that these kinds of things don't live up to its dates.
