Once again, I have gone a month without an update. Sigh. It has been busy. I have not gotten much done this month. I got my stuff from the Pod, so I needed to get it all organized. Which is still happening. I need money for organizing furniture. A friend got a job up here and needed a place to live while he waits for the first few paychecks, so he is currently crashing in my bedroom. I am crashing in my craft room. Which means I have no room in which to do anything. This makes me sad. It also means I can't get to anything, because it is all crammed together. Whatever is in the closet or in boxes is unreachable at the moment. I hate this, but I really don't have a choice for now. My friend has no where else to go. This arrangement will be temporary, so eventually I will get to go back to creative pursuits.
For now I am planning and doing other stuff. There is a Krampus themed animation short film festival I have decided to make a video for. I think it would be cool. Anything creepy or Krampus themed. At the moment I am working on sketching out the storyline, and deciding on the different scenes. We shall see how that turns out.
Last few days I was sick, and I haven't figured out how to get some animating done yet, and I need practice, so I pulled out my Apple pencil and iPad and tried to play around with drawn animation. I cannot draw worth a damn. I know it. But by doing that I can practice timing, and movement. I have done 2 so far. I will embed them below. Next I think I will try to do some rudimentary lip syncing to practice that.
