So as of Sunday, Nov. 16th,2008, my senior project animation part is done.  Check the "Scrap" section to see the rough without sound.  Now I need to work on the audio portion.  Sound effects shouldn't be an issue.  But music/ambient sound is.  So to anyone out there that happens to read this and is familiar with making music, let me know.  My animation is about 4 minutes 15 seconds long, and I'll need about 4 or 5 30 second clips to use, hopefully in a jazzy style.

As those of you who know, college can take a toll on a person.  Between working, school, and a dying father, I've had little time to update websites or maintain various hobbies.  At the very least I'm almost finished with school as all I have left is my senior project in the fall.  The question is what will I do?  I'll probably try to complete Natural Selection in AfterEffects for it, as it would look 20x better. We'll see if a professor would like that idea.

In any case, alot of my work is also too large to put on here.  This website doesn't like film/animation very much.  So if I have time I'll start a youtube page that will have my videos on it.  So the very few fans I have here can enjoy my work there.

So work is basically resuming on Natural Selection.  I've drawn up rough drafts of most of the backgrounds, the character models are complete, and all the voicework is done.  Now I just need to start animating again.  The scenes that are already done, need little editing.  The intro needs more flowers, and just a bit more detail (like clouds, water reflection, etc.), and the beehive doorway needs more work (and sound effects for the intro as a whole).  The dance scene and slug scene are perfect though.  Just need a nice wet slap noise for the slug.  I wish I had more time to animate, because I'd really like to get this one done, along with my other two ideas, Tiny Bubbles and Road Trip Emergency.  I know once school kicks in I'll have NO time to animate outside work.

Yay!  The Couch Potato 2 is on the front page at Newgrounds.com, plus I got the daily 2nd award!  Go forth and vote for it (if you like it of course )
Thanks everyone for you comments!

Hope you all enjoyed those pictures of the zoo, I know I had a good time there.  Soo many screaming kids though.  It's like Val said, "the perfect form of birth control".  Didn't get to really see the monkey's, they were all either too lazy or hiding.   And the elephant and panda's weren't out either.

And be sure to check my scraps section for updates on my cartoons!  Right now I haven't been able to animate for a week or so because of all the heavy rain (keeps causin the power the flicker).  Soon though, The Couch Potato 2 will be complete!
