Forget what month it is...
I'll figure it out later
Well hi ^-^ it's been forever, hasn't it? I might seem unusually unstable right now because Pencil just crashed on me (I'll explain in a minute). So I've been doing a lot of crafty stuff lately. Got a sewing machine from my neighbor (THANK YOU!), a shitload of material, and the animation program Pencil. Yup, after searching the web for a few months looking for a free animation program similar to Flash, I found Pencil.
I really do like Pencil, and not just because it's free. It's really easy to work with after you read the unbelievably short user manual. I only got it a couple of days ago, but as soon as I started the download I started making a story board. Because what do good animators do? They make a story board! My "beginner" story board is really simple. It's just my BattleAxePirate character (that I FINALLY designed) sewing a dress and dancing to PONPONPON by SeeU o.o It's actually a lot easier than you would think. Though I'm dreading the dance sequence. SO. MUCH. FRAMES. But yeah, it'll be fun. I can't wait to finalize the project and upload it to Youtube. I think my account will finally have a purpose now so long as the file process works on my computer. Yeah. The way you save the files in Pencil is really tricky, and I may have to do some reading up on file types to find a way to make it work, but I'll find a way. I swear it.
But yeah, I'm ticked. Got about 25 frames into my animation and Pencil CRASHED. 25 FRAMES! And like... 3 story board panels, THREE! But at least it only crashed on the opening sequence instead of half way through... I swear from now on I'm saving after I finish a panel from the story board *fuming*
On another note I can learn how to sew stuffs now. I got a sewing machine for FREE from my neighbor (yay, free shit), it works AWESOME. Now I just have to find something simple to sew. I'm thinking arm warmers. Flarey ones. With ribbon. LOTS OF RIBBON.
So mmhmm. That's about it. Looking forward to school. Not looking forward to losing sleep. Might start a couple Youtube series later on down the road with Pencil. If you'll excuse me I'm going to take a shower, relax, and start on my animation... AGAIN. Later~
